Re: How many times have you read each book?

Oh my gosh, I can't even count the number of times I've read even one of the books! I've probably read the first three about 15 times each and the others about 10 times each, so that's about 75 readings total. Don't really know the exact numbers, but can you tell I'm obsessed?

Re: How many times have you read each book?

I've only read each about 6 or 7 times. I read them all out of order the first time I ever read them. Then after I read OotP, I read them backwards, PoA, CoS, SS. Then I read them forward again and backward again, and forward again.... Then it was Half-Blood Prince, and backward again and forward again.... I'm reading OotP now. Next it'll be HBP. Again. I really wish I had kept count.

Re: How many times have you read each book?

I haven't kept count either, but I guess I've read them each about 10 times.

Re: How many times have you read each book?

I was asking myself this question some hours ago as I began to reread HBP. It's still under 10 I think, but I listended to the audio books so often that I actually don't know how often I make the round through the whole series.

Re: How many times have you read each book?

I have actually never counted, but I know for sure that each book is 20+ (apart form HBP, which is only about 5), because I read the whole series in order, every night until I fall asleep. Obsessed? Me? No!

Re: How many times have you read each book?

LOL!!! I get asked this question so many times! And everyone is always amazed to hear my answer. I have no idea. I've been reading the first book since first grade (I'm in eighth grade now). So at least 30 times each. Except maybe HBP. I know I've read that one at least 20.

You may think I'm lying, but I'm not. I reread books (including non-HP related ones) all the time because I never have time to go to the library and I enjoy reading. The last time I came to school without a book was October of last year and that's because I was running late and I forgot to grab it on the way out. I just LOVE reading. I've already read over 30 books since school started(we have to keep track for reading class).

Oh, and my sister wants to say that she's read all the books once. She started last summer and finished a few months ago.

Also, see my signature? PLEASE answer my survey! I need fifteen more results by Thursday!

Re: How many times have you read each book?

It seems I'm the only one who can't resist to read the whole series, but never a single book. I mean, if I want to read HBP I have to read SS, CoS, PoA, GoF and OotP before.

Re: How many times have you read each book?

I've read 1-5 at least 4/5 times each in the last few years. But I've only read HBP 1.5 times, which is really sad because I should have read it at least 3 times by now.
I love that if I told a non-HP fan I've read the series 5 times they would think I'm crazy, but here that's not even impressive!
It doesn't feel like I've read them that often. It feels like I've only read them once because each time you read them it really almost feels like the first time! You always find something new and enoy it all over again.

Re: How many times have you read each book?

I've read each about four times, excluding GOF and HBP which are about 10 apiece.

What is it with people who have Johnny Deep in their sig having read the books more than everyone else?

I'm the same, I can't just pick up a book and read it, I have to read them in order.
I was keeping track because then I would know how many times I would have to read book 7 to catch it up
However I can't be sure, I think I'm up to reading the series for the 6th time.

Re: How many times have you read each book?

I've read the first five books four or five times, four times for the sixth book. And I do skip around a bit, depending on what mood I'm in.

Yeah, same here. Or sometimes I'll read the series, but not in order. I think the last time I read the whole series in order was right after the release of HBP. I read HBP in 1.25 days(so slow!) then PS/SS+CoS+PoA+GoF+OotP+HBP in another month
