Over two days, took me a total of about 12 hours. That included meals, shopping, and all the other stuff I had to do. I'm usually a really fast reader, but I forced myself to slow down and take evey detail in.

Man am I envious of you speed-readers!

I spent over 17 hours reading!! But WOW was it worth it!

Got it at 9am, read all day with a few short breaks, up nearly all night, fell asleep at 2am and woke up at 6am to finish it this morning! Hehe.

Im not really sure the number of hours..but it was definately longer than i thought

Its cause other petty things got in the way such as sleep and work

but if i had to sum it up..no more than 14 or 15 hours altogether (including the times i went back a re-read a few passages to make sure i read what i read correctly and that my mind wasnt playing tricks on me)

Got the book on Saturday morning at 12:30am and read until 3am that morning. But because I have a life and because bathroom breaks are necessary to maintain a healthy bladder I was forced to stop reading for a few hours out of the day. Lmao!

So I finished reading it today at around 7:30am. =D

To be honest with you, I have absolutely no idea. I wasn't looking at the clock at all. I got my book at exactly 12:01am (EST) since I was the first online and started to read. I read the whole book through without stopping--well, I did sob a bit, so that took up a lot of time as well. Then, after I'd finished sometime into the light. Then I cried for a very good amount of time while clutching the book to my chest. Then I slept.

I read it in just a little over 24 hours... I wanted to go slowly and enjoy it.. take each moment in *clings to it* <3333333 I also had to stop and talk breaks of course [food - bathroom - and friends *pokes them*]

The oddest thing is the fastest book I had ever read was OotP which is also the longest one.. I am so weird..

18 hours, 15 minutes. timed it and everything

The only breaks I took were to use the bathroom, have food thrown at me, and washed my face so i could stay up. i got the book at midnight, but i slept so i could read it all at once. went from 8:55 in the morn, to 3:10 the next morn.

Arg, you guys all managed to make it last! I am the fastest reader at my school, and it took me an hour and a half. I called all my friends at 6:30 am and I'm like "I finished!" while crying my eyes out and they just go "Huh?" and put the phone down and I cry even more for poor Teddy Lupin and his Mummy and Daddy!

When I told all my friends how soon it was, they told me I'd read like ten pages a minute, and I'm like ? So I'm really confused. But it took an hour to get back from the shop (yes, I was that desperate to get the book), and then I spent half an hour in my bedroom, locked up. But I didn't count the amount of time I went back and read the death scenes, because I stopped the stopwatch. So, overall, it took me about 2 - 2 and a half hours. Because I kept throwing the book at the wall too. And it left many marks. And my First Edition book is now possibly worthless, because the cover is bent *uh-oh*. But yeah. I threw the book at my bedroom wall many, many times.

Oh my gosh, I think I was so tired I couldn't even stay up that long to read the book. I started at like 1:05am;I had went to get some snacks before reading lol. I was very tired and went to sleep at 5:56, very good seeing as I had been up since 12pm. Then I returend to reading and kept stopping to get like dinner and stuff. My whole way of reading was messed up I think because of being up so long. Anyway it took me about 13 hours and 14 minutes, way longer than it too OotP. I'm going to reread the series so I can get in more of the details.

Hmm, I had it finished after a little over 26 hours but I wasn't really reading continuously... I stopped a bunch of times, plus slept for around 9 hours...
My reading time was probably around 14 hours, though.

Hmm.. With bathroom breaks, the time I took to get home and the little 10 minutes nap I'd say... around 10 hours and a half maybe?
