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?

I can't say how many times, just that many! I love reading and re reading books, and since HP books are some of my absolute favorite, I've read them countless times! :grin: I pretty much know every detail. Now I've started to memorize QA and FB! :razz:

well i have seemed to have forgotten how many times I read each book...

But I do know that I had read PS and CoS nine times each the summer before eighth grade (right before PoA came out) and well, now I am a senior in high school...he he he...so who knows how many times I read the books...

PS: 3
CoS: 3
PoA: 3
GoF: 4
OotP: 1

GoF is my favorite, so I have read it and listened to it. And I'm really tired of the first two books. I just started reading these books around Christmas last year. Also, I intend to read OotP a few more time to even up the numbers a bit, but first I have to finish my school assigned reading (1/4 of the way through Jane Eyre and 1/3 the way through the three musketeers, so only around 500 600 pages left :( )

I've read each of the 5 books in excess of 15 times each, but I have read the last 200 pages of Book 5 nearly 30 times :eek:

I love these books.

Hmm...
Ive honestly lost count. I started reading these books before pretty much anyone else. I found them on a bookshelf about...6 or 7 (or maybe even more) years ago. If I had to guess, i would say in excess of around 30 times each. I know, i have no life, but Harry Potter is awesome!

I didn't count the times... I said somewhere else that I usually grab a book and start reading it very very often. I'd say I've read each one about 15/20 times, but OotP was "just" 4.

Oh, wow - and I thought I´m obsessed! :o
PS: 3 - 4
CoS: 4
PoA: 4
GoF: 3 - 4
OotP: 2

And often I just grab a book to reread a special scene or chapter, depending on my mood. But as somebody already said, there are so many other books worth reading that I don´t reduce it on HP. :lol:
But I also like reading them all in order before a new film comes out.
