Welcome!

I'm 3 hours and 160 pages in so far....
I'm not even sure which chapter number I'm at so far, but it's more than 3.
No commentary, just saying "Hi!" and taking a munch break...drawing out any suspense as long as I can...because it will all be over too soon anyway.

I notice i have been savoring it , reading slower and letting the imigary fully develople as i go along. The midnight party last night was nuts! I grabed my copy and flee right out the door... after paying of course lol

You're very welcome, FantasyFan! The Internet can be terrific for just the reason you name. Hope you enjoy the book!

I can hardly stand it!!!! I feel like a little kid at Christmas. I am on the westcoast and am waiting for my store to open at 9:00. I am so thankful for this book club because I have nobody to get excited or share my feelings with. I think if I mention Harry Potter one more time my boyfriend is going to leave me or have me committed to a hospital ward. So I think I will go start my coffee and sugar high and get the tissue ready. Thank you Barnes and Noble for making me feel like a part of a group.

Hello, all!

I'm back on the boards after my long fast, slow read. I'm a slow reader, even when trying to read fast! I'll be catching up with discussion this morning. Take all the time you need on this board, going chapter by chapter. That's what this board is about.

Hi! I just got my copy of Deathly Hallows, almost 42 hours after it came out. I've been in agony since Friday evening. I just read the first chapter, and this will probably be the only time I post until I've finished it; I'm just popping in quickly, and I know I won't be able to stop reading. Unfortunately, I'm working at a camp from 8-3 for the next week. I'm bringing HP with me and reading at lunch and snack breaks, and I'll read first thing in the morning and for the rest of the day after I get home.
Anyhow, I still haven't decided if Snape is good or evil. I have plenty of evidence to support either side, but I haven't made up my mind. I guess I'll just have to wait and see...
I know probably half the world has finished the book already, so I'll be behind in the conversations, especially because I like to read slowly. If you haven't finished it yet, happy reading!
Talk to you all soon!!!!!!!

Hi, Everyone! My name is Donna, and I have finished the book. I didn't want to come up until it was done because I didn't want to chance onto any spoilers or clues. It has been an exciting time - waiting for the book, reading the book - and now I look forward to discussing it!

[Aphrael27]

Hello everyone! My name is Denise and I finished the book on Saturday. I will be re-reading it again with you guys, just because there is way too much stuff in there to absorb in one reading! But overall, WOW!! Could not put it down, even though I said to myself that I would try to savor it as much as possible.

Happy reading!

Hello Everyone,

I finally picked up my pre order book and started reading this weekend. Will check in soon..now back to HP.

Regards,

Bentley

Hi, Donna, and Welcome! I'd like to point you to our other HP board, which is where you can discuss the book in its entirety. This board is mainly for those still reading. Our other board is called the "Ministry of Spoilers." You can post there about anything and everything from the entire series and book 7. Here, it's kind of like a hushed reading room to some extent, where we are trying to be careful not to give away things from Chapter 10, for example, in the Chapter 9 thread. You may enjoy the "Ministry" club, where discussion is more wild and free, so to speak, since you're done with the book.

Welcome, Denise! This is a nice board to re-read the series with others. Since you're finished reading the book, though, please be careful about not posting spoilers (easy enough for any of us to do) about later chapters into threads on the earlier chapters. EnJOY!

I'm a slow reader also, I'm glad I'm not alone. I want to savor and understand what is happening and test my theories as I read along.
I read the first six chapters and then started again from the beginning!
There is so much happening in all those little details Jo throws in. This is the last book and I want to let the enjoyment of reading a chapter for the first time only after I've drained as much as I can from what I've read in the previous chapters. Does that make sense to you all? Or am I being a bit of a nutter?

[ConnieAnnKirk]

Makes total sense, eve!

Welcome to the Reading Deathly Hallows Book Club. Please use this thread to say hi and introduce yourself to the community.

Though this Welcome thread is not for discussion of the book, we are curious -- will you read the whole thing first and then come here, or will you post thoughts as you read? And just how excited are you?

I bought the book Saturday afternoon, and I cannot wait to start reading it tonight! I hope that everyone enjoys themselves while reading the last installment of the book. I wish that the author will continue writing and maybe start an adult series of Harry Potter!
