Hogwarts RPG Name: unsorted | 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) |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Jaxx Bisera Fourth Year | 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. |

Miss Gilroy Diagon Alley | 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..

Ry Taylor | 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.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Christina Catelli First | 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. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Ana-Marie Aylesworth Fifth Year | 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. |
