Haha no idea since I never checked it out but the next morning it was a story on CNN and my roommate was like "Isn't that what you were complaining about with that book you tried to knock the wall down with last night?"

Ooooooh...Was the book OK?Sounds like we could start a WDWMagic HP support group... I read them all cover to cover when I got them too :lookaroun And somehow at the end of the 5th one I had enough energy left to throw the book at the wall in anger; found out the next day that it was one of the 'rare upside down printing' editions. Oops

I read the second book and I really enjoyed it, but I never read the first or any books after
If you liked one of the books you should give them all a shot. Most people think that each book was better than the last as they get more complex as the series progresses. Just make sure you have your day cleared :lol:
Yeah, it wasn't harmed in the hissy fit. Those books are tough. Or I'm that weak. :lookaroun
Apologies for the thread drift :wave:

Well, I guess I forgot to mention I was in 4th grade and it took me almost the whole school year. I;m not much of a read, but I could probably knock a book out in a week if I dedicate a few hours everyday and I plan to read the whole series before the sixth movie to get all excited. :sohappy: I'm excited to delve into the books.

Take your time actually. I read them so fast I wound up forgetting a lot so I had to re-read them. I hope you enjoy them if/when you get around to reading all of them :wave:

Thanks. I also think that WWoHP will get me to want to get into the books even more.

I finished books 5, 6, and 7 in under 12 hours, when they were released. I didn't sleep. I did eat, however. With the book propped up on the water jug or somrthing.
Under 12 hours is pretty impressive. I did it for the last book to avoid spoilers, and i think i got the book at 9am and then read it till 2am. I did take time for a shower and food during though.
Going a bit OT i always Disney a great place to read, i think i got through 4/5 books on my last trip. Granted they were not the epic length of Goblet of Fire!

I tried that for book 5 and it was a miserable experience. B&N was packed, hot and utterly gross. Waited in line for an hour. Went home. Slept. Got book at 9:00 with no wait. Done by 8:30 PM.

Did the midnight thing for Harry Potter 7. There's a Barnes & Noble right behind my house. If you preordered it (just basically said hey I want a copy) they called everybody up to the register in groups...A-D, E-G, etc. They had every register open. I was in and out of there in about a half hour and it was jam packed. Very smooth. Had to buy two copies...one the collector's edition, one the regular hard back because the wife and I both wanted to read it. We just got finished reading them together for the second time the day before. I'd read a book, then she'd read it so I was always one ahead of her. Fun.

I preordered book 7 on Amazon. I got it on the day it was released with my regular mail. Worked out very nicely.

See, I would go to the big bookstore blowouts, leave, drive up to Wal-Mart, go in, pick up a book from a large pallet and go home. Took no time at all. For the last book, I got in line at a small bookstore in the mall. It didn't take long and was worth getting it from a "real" bookstore for the last time :sob:

Ah...Smart. But then again, I wanted to sleep.
:lol:And yeah, I was pretty sad the last time I went into the WalMart for a HP Book.
Can't wait until she writes something else...

I wish she would write some books about Dumbledore's early adventures.
