How many times have u read the books?

Which one is your favorite so far. Are they getting even better as the characters develop over time?

HP1- 34
HP2-19
HP3-45
HP4-13
HP5-6
Lol when I'm bored I read HP1, coz it's short.
I don't read HP2 anymore really, it's my least fav book so I generally read the others. The 15 come from when the 5th and 4th were out.
HP3 is absolutely wicked. I remember once I just went on a reading frenzy and read that book like 10 times in a row... it's been a while though now. I'm reading so many other books I don't read the first 3 much anymore.
HP4 & 5 are my favourites. They haven't been out for as long, and they are a little bit longer, so I haven't read them that much. Sometimes I pick them up from the middle and read from there and stuff, so I don't count them. I'm gonna read 4 & 5 again 3 times more just before HBP comes out, so I can pick it up straight away.

42 times? Hell, that really impresses me. If you mean read as in beginning to end, I have to confess I read them only twice, in german and in english. But I connstantly read parts in no special order, everytime I have a theory or something. And I have a rather good memory, I guess I can quote everything my favourite characters ever said if you wake me at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Some people can read the books a hundered times, and still find something new that they didn't noticed, simply because they don't read every line probably. Your knowledge of the books Siana, considering you've only read them about twice each, is quite amazing. You must have a very good memory.
From reading through this topic, I think our champion for the most times read is Lexi_potter, who read them all around 40 times, except the 5th which he has read 30. Considering Bk4 & 5 are so much longer than the others, and OoTP has only been out 1 and a half years, that's quite an achievment. Congrats. Anyone longer than that repeat your post and prove me wrong 'coz I haven't seen it lol. The record is 194.
I've only got 117....

Well, the Death Eaters killed Sirius becuae he is in the Order of the Pheonix. The Death Eaters are bad guy, the Order are good guys, Sirius was a good guy, there was a conflict so they killed him. Simple really. If they didn't kill him, he would have helped Harry escape.

And I do not recall Harry trying to kill himself. When did that happen?
