It took me 2 days to read Goblet of Fire, so I anticipate 1 more day for the added 100+ pages in Order of the Phoenix.

I am getting this for my wife as a birthday present, so we'll both be reading it at the same time. Based on the length, I'm guessing it'll take me a total of four or five hours to get through (barring distractions and such).

I'm not sure, I would love to read it really fast but I have to share my copy with my boyfriend and I will probably have a bunch of annoying school work to do.

I have a 16 hour flight the next day so I should have it done within a day or two.

I'll probably have it done in a day or two. I could probably read it faster, but it is for enjoyment, not a race. Besides the faster we read this book, the longer it will be for the next one to come out.

A few days. But I'll be hooked, that's for sure.

If it hooks me in, I'll probably finish it this weekend or Monday (and my sleep will suffer tremendously, especially since I'm not going to just read all day this weekend).

I can be a fast reader if I want to be, but considering the next Potter book is probably 3 years away, why would I want to rush through this one in a few days? For me - a chapter a day until it's finished. Sure, that means I'll probably be the last one on Earth who finds out who gets killed in this one, but I want to ENJOY the novel, not rush through it...

I'll be getting it at midnight tomorrow and will have to really fight the urge to read it right away when I go home. Thankfully it's the weekend so by Sunday I'll probably be done.

I'll be waiting until next week to get it, and then I'll take my time to read it. I'm not a huge fan, but I am interested to see what happens.
