I am still in the process of reading it... even though we got it the day it came out.... I kinda sorta lost interest after a customer of mine gave away the ENTIRE book even after I told her I hadn't read it. ( stressed irritating senial old people) so I am taking my time reading it trying to forget what I've been told. I probably should re read the other books though... I can't remember half the stuff that happened.

I begged my mom to take me at midnight when it came out but of course she said no. Luckily the region where I live is full of people who don't read at all so yeah... It took me about 6 hours after I got home at like 4 PM. sweatdrop

I finished today but its because I took my time soaking in every detail and took a lot of brakes. I admit I was kinda scared to read it. Almost like losing a friend that just moved far away but you know you will never see. I told my sister this but she said that I never saw them. I don't know maybe people who read a lot like me can understand. I don't know I kinda hope if she writes another story its a fantasy and she mentions them at random. Its always nice to be reminded of them when you least expect it. A lot of the other books I read do that and you cant help but smile. Or maybe I'm just weird.


Thats exactly how i am, I put off reading the 7th for a long while because i never wanted it to end. Then i read it, cried a bit, smiled a while, and will be rereading the entire series some time soon.

I finished the in about a day i guess. Started one morning, and finished it that night at like 11:00 or 11:30. (taking very short, like five minute potty breaks, and i fixed my food really fast, then kept reading as i was eating.)
xp and after i was done, i felt both sad, and glad. It was like i had lost a loved one, and yet at the same time, i had just become single again after a long hard relationship and that i could now read anything what so ever that i wanted. So i started reading more books by one of my all time favorite authors Charles De Lint. The HP series was a big deal for me, because i was not allowed to read them (but I BADLY wanted too) until this past christmas of 07, when my grandma without knowing i wasn't allowed bought me the whole series for christmas. My parents talked it over and let me recieve the present. I was so unblievebly happy i probably was grinning from ear to ear the rest of that day.

Alright, well now that i've written a small short story of why i love the books, i'll go back to small easy-to-read posts. xd 3nodding heart sweatdrop

Hmm . . . I think it took me seven hours to read? I didn't go at midnight because I was Ribbon Marshal for aa Horse Show the 21st, and I had to get to the ring at 9a.m., and the show wasn't supposed to end until midnight at the earliest. Me, stay up for 36 hours straight? No thanks.

But it was depressing to read! I was so excited when I finally got it, but a few chapters in, it hit me that this really was the last book. I think I cried from there to the end. But I still enjoyed it. ^_^

To tell the truth I'm not sure how long it took me, because I had to read it when I had time and I wasn't keeping track of how long it took me.
