Jules, that's just ridiculous.

Anyway, I just finished it in 6 hours. Tried to pace myself so I could savour it. There's some horrible sad moments, I came close to crying (HP makes me emotional, yes) at several moments.

I have to say it's brilliant.

I agree

best of the lot i think.

I read it in five hours and 34 minutes. I'm sad and i timed myself.

Well...anyway, not going to spoil it. But be warned, it's very intense.

It is extroadinarily well done; quite brilliant really. I agree, Jack, there were several moments that almost had me in tears as well lol.

ITS BRILLIANT. I cried...like FOUR TIMES. especially the first death....lol..seriously. I WANNA READ IT AGAIN. I cant determine whether i liked it better than the half blood prince. Both were amazing.

I'm actually looking for spoilers for this one. I got burned out on Harry Potter some time after the fifth book came out, and I'm reading two other books, I don't want to go through another giant one. Heh :P

I've never been a huge Harry Potter fan, but all the hype about this book makes me want to know what happens in it (but not read it) so someone should tell me who all dies ;)

I finished it in....eight or nine hours. Give or take snack breaks. :P

It was intense. It was beautiful. It was heartbreaking. It made me cry. It's not a fairy tale. It was brilliant.

I cried so many times.

I didn't like the 5th and 6th books crazily; they were good but nothing special like what Rowling had conjured in PoA, for example. However, this was a massive return to form.

Really, Jacko? Gods, this is driving me crazy! I couldn't go last night to get it since I have such a long day today (this is by break). So! tonight I will be reading like a mad woman (mader?) to finish before it can be spoiled for me.

Can't wait, with all the positive reviews from everyone!

It took me twelve hours... mostly because I fell asleep for at least three and made frequent soda/cookie breaks.

I thought it was brilliant. I cried, I'll admit.

I would have liked to see more of [character name], but he's really not important and I guess I'm just living in a fantasy. Sigh. =/

Took me about 7-8 hours all told. I have to say it's the best in the series - I loved it in all but one thing, which I knew was coming but still made me cry >.< Intense is definitely the word :lol:

I've been asking myself the same question....
