Yeah it took me a lot less time also. I read DH in about 9 hours and I remember it took me about 2 days to read HBP.

I read DH in about 9 hours, too. So, yea, that's less than the other ones, I'm sure...It took me about 12 hours to read HBP...and like 3 or 4 days to read OotP.

I read HP7:DH in 8 hours, so it was definitely one of the quickest ones I read, I was so excited for the last book, but nervous too, so I read it quickly.

well, i didnt actually buy it the day it came out, as i had work and by the time i finished work i knew i couldnt buy it, lest i would be up all night reading; i had an imprtant football game the next day and thought it was important to be alert as not to let my teammates down.

anyway, when i had it i spent all my spare time in 3 days reading it. i read HP at a bit under 2 mins a page(dont ask why i know this) so i could do the calculations if i could be bothered!

ive always read HP books at about that speed and i think i certainly took my time on DH to prolong the inevitable end of the series for as long as possible without going mental!

so in answer to your question, about the same time, give or take
