I'm staying up and reading it all.
I'm so gonna stay up all through the night just to finish the book within a day. I'm determined to finish it within a day.
I'll end up crying at the end and then coming on here to cry some more
6 days. XD -dies-

Im ganna stay up and read it

I cant see how you could read like the last page , i mean i mite cover the page an have a sneak peak at the last word but thats it

i will definately miss him!! im not a Brit, but still i would definately miss Harry more Bush...*grumbles* theres no question about that! i am not skipping to the end! that would spoil the whole entire book! AND I am staying up all night to finish! i wont eat or sleep until i am finished that book!

Ahh! Why would anyone want to skip to the end?

boo hoo... i don't i can say bye to Harry....

how in the world can you skip to the ending before reading the rest ? THAT SPOILS EVERYTHING!!

I'm not sure what I'm going to do. It is the last one...-shrugs-

I won't be staying up all night. I'll be staying up all week! (Slow reader here!) But I will definitely not be skipping to the end (unless I get untra-tempted or something)

I'm defo going to stay up all night to read the book. I already warned my mother lol
As for the part of reading the end... erm.. let's just say that I usually read the last sentence or paragraph of a book? XD I told myself I'd do that with HBP but with the excitement I only remembered of doing that once I was halfway through the book so It kind of makes me want to reach the end of the book even more to understand what it meant.

It's definitely a hard act to follow

I'm gonna start reading DH right away and I will not put it down until I finish it. I can tell that I'm gonna cry. So when I'm done reading it, I'll come and cry here. Lol!

Why do people want to skip to the end??
Serioulsy when you do that you dont understand why a certain character ended up like they did or something like that....plus it wont be that exciting when youre reading the rest of the story!!
Personally im going to stay up all night to finish the book!!

No one will miss Tony Blair.

Harry will be sorely missed.

I'm going read from beingging to end also

I never start at the end of a book, so I won't be doing it this time. I will also be staying up as long as I can to finish the book. It'll probably take me a couple of days though. I'm really going to miss not having a new Harry Potter book to read.

how do people do that - read the end first? that is so stupid

I always read the last sentence of every book I read first.... But thats it. If Its 2 words long then thats what I read... I dont know why... I just started doing it... Its not like reading the whole end first though... Because that would ruin the surprise.. Im staying up for the whole night and what not! I will definatly have a harder time saying good bye to Harry than Tony Blair seeing as how I wont miss Tony Blair at all and the faster hes out the better Lol

I know its the last book and all but we still have the next 2 movies to look forward to....and these books will live on forever!
And as for skipping to the end i could never it would ruin the freaking surprise! shame on people for doing so

hahahahaha tony blair. comment was funny


i think i'm going to be an emotional wreck when i'm finished reading.

I'd never EVER skip to the end. My mom reads books backwards, for some reason... she knows what happens at the end before she knows how they got there!!! I never understood that, and yes, i will be one staying up all night to finish it.

Talk about spoiling the entire book. NO true fan would skip to the end!
Just read through an entire day and night if you're really into it. I probably will lock myself in my room all day and read... if I can My parents'll probably be all 'get outside!'.
I'll go outside... I'll go to the nearby elementary school park, sit down on a swing or something, and read

But seriously, no true fan would spoil their reading by skipping to the end...

I can't believe it's the last book tho... (my mom thinks J.K will probably do another book but I don't believe that). Seriously, it all seems... wow! Scary cause I don't even remember when OotP (book) came out anymore. I just started cause I saw it on my brother's shelf and was very intruiged (before the movie was known to come out) - I got stuck at the Sorting Hat cause my imagination kinda couldn't grasp it.
After I saw the movie I finished the book and was able to continue. He had the first three books, and when I was on book 2 my grandma bought me book 4 so i skipped to that... was confuzzled and put it down. By the time I got to it, the PoA movie was out

Great books... I can't believe the era is about to end... all in less than a week now

Usually, I read the very last sentence, so I'll want to keep reading, but this time...not so sure. I don't see how they can skip it all, tho. Like (approaching partial spoiler...) Like when Dumby died, my friend and I were s'posed to be reading at the same time, but she skipped ahead and read something like 'and Dumbledore was dead.' When you skip ahead you don't get the essence of the good and important parts...it takes away from the flavor of the book.

Thanks to the wonderful news continued distinguishes you

I definitely wouldn't read the end chapter first...it ruins the surprise, and chances are, you won't fully know what's happening. O_o But I can't wait for DH!

OK, I don't understand...

How in living daylights can you read the ending and still live through the suspense and intrigue of the book!?

That's part of the magnificence of the HP series, the just-revealed-in-the-nick-of-time suspensefulness in the writing. No blurting out of information, no ridiculous overdramatisation, nothing unnecessary. Just good (well truly superb, really) edge-of-your-chair suspense.

I've already told my other-half that he'll have to set aside next Saturday morning so he can come with me to the shopping centre (about half an hour's drive) so I can buy the book and read it on the drive home (He'll have to drive home so I can READ!). He said "Um are you going to be reading that book ALL WEEKEND???" I said "No, Dear. Just until it's finished". :evillaugh

Then I'll start at the beginning again.

I usually read the whole book through in one sitting (only really desperate loo and cuppa-tea breaks, food optional) then start at the beginning again and read it more slowly. Luckily my son is at his father's that weekend, so I get the WHOLE weekend with the book before he steals it!

Oh, and, by the way, Pigwidgeon Took:

Tell your Mum I HIGHLY recommend Martin Amis' "Time's Arrow" to her. It's WRITTEN backwards! If she reads it backwards, it'll actually be reading it forwards. Should be fun to watch, don't forget to let me know how she goes! hehe
