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 really can't count how many times i've read the books. Well, that's not true, i read the first 4 books 2-3 times, and the 5th book 1 time. However I own all 5 books on cd and i listen to them to relax after hw or when im tired, so as to how many times i've actually completed each book (while listening to Jim Dale) I'd say around 10-15 times each. But that is only a rough estimate.

I read all the books only once, but I return to them and read parts of them many, many times. But not the whole books again, those parts are enough, perfect for relaxing.

I've read them all a grand total of... once! Though I've reread a few of Snape's best parts. I don't even own the books! I "borrowed" them from my lil sister. :grin:

The first book i read in the hp series was book 3 (my mum got it for my little sister for christmas one year) - I didn't even know they were a series! Not even after I had finished reading it! Then my older sister goes, "um... i think they follow on from one another". So i went and found the first book and read it (because i was already addicted). I didn't even realise that so many people were so crazy about them, i just thought "this looks like an interesting book".

I think i've read them all about 5 times now. My favourite is probably GoF, but I love them all. I'm re-reading PoA now because the movie'll come out soon and i want to reaquaint myself with everything that happens.

This is going to sound weird, but I consider myself lucky that I was unemployed the weekend HP5 was released. I had paid for it while I still had a job, and then quit my job the week before. Although I finished it in one day, I still needed the next week to re-read it again and again, because I find things different every time I read a book.

I don't really know how many times I've read the books, but I know that I've read CoS only once, since that's my least favorite book so far. I should probably read it again, since JKR hinted that some parts of that book will be really important for book 6.

The first three parts about 14 times each and Goblet of fire probably 10. I've read the fifth book only 3 times because the finnish translation came only a few days ago and because it's so big, I didn't have the time to read it in english so many times.

Don't really know as I have lost count :eek:

I am always going through them as reference for the book six that I am writing, but I have still managed to make some mistakes that the folks here have pointed out. :-?

I'm glad you all do that because even though my little boobalas think I'm perfect I'm not :(

I don't realy know how many times I've read them actually. I've read them all so many times! Whenever I'm bored or sometimes just for fun I'll re-read them and see how fast I can finish them! :lol:

I read the first three twelve times, and book 4 about eight times. The Order of the Phoenix goes under the list with three times.

The first book 15 times or more (I was a very, very, very fast reader when I was younger), the second and third about 10 times, the fourth ~ six times and the fifth two times so far.
