Question: How many times have you read the Harry Potter series!?
I started a bit late!. My daughter (7 at the time) asked me if I'd read it to her!. Her friends had been talking about it!. So, I told her I'd have to see!. I didn't know much about it, just that there was a lot of talk that it was evil, etc!.!.!. I said I'd have to read it myself first and I'd let her know!. Now I'm hooked!. I've read all the books multiple times!. The first one I've read probably 5 times, 2nd one about 4 times, 3rd one about 3 times!.!.!. all the rest about 2 times each!. But, I've listened to them on audio too many times to count!. With 3 kids under 10 !.!.!. it so much easier to listen to them than to find the time to sit down and read! I'm a bit obsessed!. ;-)Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I've read the entire series 5 times through in a row!. I just constantly cycle through them!. Each book varies though!.

Sorcerer's Stone!.!.!. At least a hundred!. I was a very bookish child!.
Chamber of Secrets- Not too many, it's not as deep as the others!. 15 or so!.
Prisoner of Azkaban- A lot!. Maybe 30 times!.
Goblet of Fire- About 30 or so times!. I like this one a lot, but its still one of the newest ones!.
Order of the Phoenix- 10!. This one is not my favorite, but I like it!.
Half-Blood Prince- 15 or so!. I love it!.
Deathly Hallows- 6 times!. I love these books!.

I'm such a loser!. I'm actually going to start recording my own audio versions, because that way I can do the vioces how I hear them in my head!.

Now in my defense, I've been reading these books for almost 10 years!. It'll be ten years in 19 days, and thats more than half of my life!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Don't feel bad, a lot of adults love Harry Potter!. :)!.

I've read the series about 5 times through, but each book differs!. I've read the first two probably around 10 times each, the third 12, the fourth 15, the sixth 6, and the seventh 4!. I'm going to read them again this week, too, because I haven't read them in awhile!.

I never get sick of those books!. I can read them over and over again!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My third grade teacher first read us the first book!. I absolutely loved it!. Each year i would pick up another book from the series!. I grew up with them, just like many other have!. I've read the first book too many times to count!. I read the second only once--because it was my least favourite and i don't own the copy!. I've read the third, fourth, and sixth twice!. The fifth book once and the last one three times!.

And they surprise me every time i read them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The whole series I've read probably two times all the way through!. I've read the first one 4 times, the fourth probably three times, the sixth I've read at least eight times, and the last one three times!.!.!.!.
I'd have to say I'm quite obsessed as well :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've read all of them plenty of times, except the second, since I didn't own it until a few months ago!. I've read PS at least ten times, CS at least three, PA at least five, GF at least eight, OP at least five, HBP at least five, and DH at least five!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Loads of times as I have them on audio too so listen to them regularly!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know it's crazy, i'm an adult too and i've read those books countless times!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As a whole series, I've read them 3 times through!. But the individual books differ!. Since I've had the first three for a longer time, I've read them each at least 15 or 16 times!. I don't own GOF, so I would say I read it at least 4 or 5 times!. OOTP was the only book I had with me when we moved to a different country for two years (where the main language isn't English) so you can only imagine how many times I read *that* particular one!. HBP, at least a dozen!. Deathly Hallows is the only one I'm sure of; I read it three times; I checked it out from the library three times because I don't own it!.

I started reading them when I was in 5th grade!. I'm now a college freshman!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
