So, how long do reckon it will take. Are you a die-hard Potter fan, and reserving the night for it. Or are you not too bothered, and will read it in bits over the course of a few weeks? Or maybe you'll savour it, but just for a couple of days?

Well...?
There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her to not be alive anymore.

Don't know when I'll start it but it'll probably take about 4 hours to read, going by the sixth.

Last time it took me like, seven hours. Three before I was forced to go to bed, and four the next day. But I read it again the next week.

I'll probably read it in the same amount of time again, just because my youngest sister wants to read it as soon as possible and my parents will only get us two copies. ;)

Odds are I'll finish in a single sitting. (Hey, I don't have anything more pressing to do...)
I wrote the above just for you.

As soonas I get te book (Which may take a while, as I forgot to reserve a copy) I'll probably breeze through it in a few days.

Well, I should think I'll take a couple of days. It's the balance between savouring the surprises or finding them out quickly before someone tells me.

I'm getting it at midnight and not resting until I'm finished.

Mostly because I don't want anyone to spoil it for me and my brother wants to read it too, but we're only buying one copy.

Arg, I don't think I can get it until Saturday morning. On the upside, I'll then have the whole day to read it. Which I plan on taking full advantage of because, really, enough with the speculation already! And, like st.blade said, so no one spoils it for me.

But it comes out on Saturday morning :S

I'm having it delivered to the door on the day by Amazon - so convenient for my lazy self!

I'm going to have a one-man bash in my bedroom. Sneak up chips and caffeinated soda, stuff like that. ;)
I'm planning on reading it in two sittings....the first half-or-so will be in the middle of the night, the second will be the next day.

Idk. I reserved it at Border's, but I won't be able to pick it up there in time, as I'm going to reno tomorrow, so I'm going to try to get a copy in Reno at midnight. And I'm not sure what time I'll even have for reading... but I'll be reading it every spare moment until it's done

I'm such a slow reader it's not even funny.
I skim read the sixth book, and it took me a week.
It'll probably take a couple of days if i trudge through it.

I'll be picking up my reserved copy Saturday. I'm going to take my time. I still have to read Half-Blood Prince, to be honest.

There are already spoilers on the net, so I'm not concerned about it getting worse.

Let's see.

If I were a free agent, and had as much time as I pleased? Finished by dinner time Sat (it comes out at 11:01am NZST).

Because I am but a lowly undergrad, however, it'll probably take all of a week. Or at least the weekend. I already have about 100pgs of textbook to get through, plus an essay due...>.<
