I am on book five now, Order of the Phoenix. Book One took me a while to get into. Book 2, 3 & 4 were easy reads but this one is proving to be a slow one.

How to read the Harry Potter series
It made me
feel accomplished
 "I was skeptical at first... but now I can't get enough!"
How I did it: My sister gave me 1 year notice that she wants to go to newly opening Harry Potter world (part of Universal Studios in Florida) after her high school graduation. She also informed me that I was not invited on the trip unless I read all 7 books. Each book only took a few weeks between work and other commitments, and it took me about a year to finish them all. Lessons & tips:
Resources: The audio books (narrated by Jim Dale) are absolutely fantastic. I would listed on walks/ car trips, especially in the beginning. |

It made me
cry
How I did it: I bought the first book when I was twelve, and loved it. But my parents were poor and we didn't live anywhere near a bookstore. I didn't have time or money enough to read through them for a long time.I asked for the hardcover special edition box set (with stickers!) for Christmas a couple of years ago. When I got it, I started rereading the first one, and vowed to finish all of them before I had to go back to school at the end of January.… Read how I did it…

happy inside
How I did it: Got the books, and sat down and read them. I read at least one book a day. But, most days, I read one and a half. It was a great series, I had seen the movies but never really considered reading the books. Read how I did it…

It made me
have mixed emotions
How I did it: My brother got the first four books for Christmas one year. At this time, they weren't nearly as popular as they are now, there were no films, and I didn't know much about them. A friend had started reading them and I had laughed at her because they were children's books (I know, it was daft). However, I gave them a chance, and started reading them on holiday. I finished the first three very quickly, loving every minute! The fourth I fini… Read how I did it…

8 months ago
So I’ve read 6 out of 7 books, finishing the last in 2 weeks (got caught up with school and laziness) and the others in about 1 week each. I can’t wait to get the 7th one, I looked 3 different places and no one has it… So I had to ask this guy at school who has a mad crush on me who knows I hate him cos hes a pervert if I could borrow his. But today he forgot to bring it and yesterday I was sick, so tomorrow we can only hope for that Harry Potter book to come into my arms at last! I miss you Harry… its only been 2 days, but UGH HOW I MISS YOU!

So everytime I turn around everyone is talking about these books. I have seen all the movies, but haven’t read the books yet. I hope to find some time to do so soon.
The End Is Here

I’m done. A great series. Very touching. She breaks the mold at some points and kills a lot of characters you grow to love and makes you want to cry at other points. A very excellent series.
The End Is Near
18 months ago
Tonight, I start Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I’m happy to be finishing the story. I’ve grown to like Harry, Ron, Hermione, and all the rest (especially, for some reason, Remus Lupin), but I’ll be glad to finish the story. Every beginning must have its end, I suppose, and now I rush headlong toward this ending. Wish me luck!
Getting closer . . .

Tonight, I’m going to start The Half-Blood Prince. I’m getting excited to see where everything’s going. You know—when I started reading this series, I thought “Man, I don’t want to read seven books all in a row . . . thousands of pages of the same characters . . . ” but now I’m having trouble not picking up The Half-Blood Prince right now! But I have to study . . . two finals left!
