well I read it pretty much all day saturday until I had to go to work and I had about 50 pages left on sunday so I finished most of it saturday, I had work otherwise I'd have done it in a day like I did with the last one! (13 hours stopping to eat was my last record)

Because of odd jobs I had to do It probably took me about 8 hours including the hour and a half I read on sunday.

I think I read it in around 8 as well.  Overall, I started around 11:30 and finished at 1 am, but I also got interrupted a bazillion times:  fixed 4 kids lunch, set up a slip'n'slide (which took about an hour because parts had to be blown up, adjusted, the pool filled with water, etc.) "fixed" a bloody nose caused by said s'n's, made dinner, took a shower, etc.  Of course, hubby had to point out he did it in 3 hours less (overall time) but he didn't do 1/2 the other crap I did and had 3 uninterrupted hours on a plane ::)


Wow, you go, Crazymom! Grats for finishing despite a little thing called life getting in the way  :)

I am a slow reader. I haven't bought this one yet but when I do, I want to start over again-read each volume in turn. That way, it refreshes my memory. I did the same when the last volume came out and a few people told me that they should have done that, too. But, right now, I am in the middle of reading the Cadfael mysteries. I'm on #11 out of 21. So, maybe after I finish that, I will start on Harry Potter. I'm looking forward to it.

I always thought that Harry Poter was stupid, even though I usually read everything I could get my hands on.

I was out of unread books and asked my oldest if she had a book I could borrow, she brought me the first in the series of Harry Potter. I have been hooked ever since.

can't wait to get the new one.

Sorry  :-[ 


How about this one:  there are good wizards/witches and bad wizards/witches and they have a fight ???



Let me guess, the majority of the story takes place at Hogsworts, and the main character is a kid named Harry and he has two friends, Ron and Hermine. And the three of them fight the bad wizards/witches? Am I right?  ;)

You forgot the fact that Harry ALWAYS has a fight with Voldemort at the end, and then Harry blacks out and wakes up in the nurses' ward, with Ron and Hermione, then that wizard bloke who's head of Hogwarts comes and gives a long speech about what happened, then Harry is awarded 51785386259685895260516180615 house points for griffindor and everything ends happily...

Darn it!  You're both right ::)                                                     












or at least close ;)


Lucky guess, you know? I mean, it's not like those things happen at the end of all the other HP books or something  ::)

I'm not locking this for the simple reason that I feel that everyone here is reasonable enough as I am not to spoil the ending for the people who haven't finished it yet. I think it would be a shame if anyone did that to anyone. If anyone does want to talk about HBP in more depth feel free to pm me and I'll discuss it with anyone. But lets be mature here and not spoil it for those who haven't yet read/finished the book!

I just think it would be petty to have to lock the topic because people can't keep it to themselves. Its nice to know you agree!

Gotta get moving before someone spoils it for you.  I've already heard someone spoil the ending on the radio here in Chicago ::)


It's okay, i'm not a big HP fan anyways. The books are a good read, but that's as far as I go with the whole thing. No doubt i'll hear the ending on TV, or from a friend at some stage or other, but like I said, doesn't really matter much to me  8)
