Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Reviews and Spoilers — How Did They Do it so Fast?
How is it possible that some reviewers can read and fully digest a 784 page book, and post a thoughtful, well-considered 1,100-word review in a single day?
It’s really not as hard as you might think.
First, you start with speed reading.
Speed reading is quite common, and with practice it’s possible to reach speeds of up to a page every 15 or 20 seconds, which means you could read the seventh book in the Harry Potter series, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” in about 5 hours or so.
And true speed readers are not just skimming and skipping. They’re actually absorbing and understanding all the content with full retention.
Then comes the tricky part.
To write the review, it’s entirely possible to blast through a 1,100 word review in a matter of hours. When you use something like the FAST System (as explained in“Writing Fast: How to Write Anything with Lightning Speed”), you quickly understand that all you need is a systematic approach to the writing process — and with less practice than you might think, belting out a 1,100-word review in an hour or two becomes a piece of cake.
I think you’d need some practice to get up to reviewing and writing the article in a single day, but, really it’s just a matter of practice. And the fact is, the more you write FAST, the faster you’ll write.
Put in about a half hour of practice each day, and you’ll be speed reading and speed writing at this time next year.

Does magic really exsit?I think think it does.I mean have you ever been somewhere and something unxplaind happens.I can tell you this it is not ghosts that make the unxplaind things happen.If it was ghosts then we would probbally feel the ghosts persence.Also the ghosts would have to picke the thing up.But with magic you would not have to.I have a ouestion why do the people that do the magic go unseen? Well that’s all I have to talk about right now.I’ll get back to all of you out there when I think of something to write about.

I read the seventh book a few hour ago. The end was so amazing. Unofrtunately there won’t be a new book.The most interesting part was when Harry explain some things to Voldemort and then kill him.I also believe that there is a magic around us, just we are not the one “The chosen one” for the magic, i’d say.From the other side, there are the “scientists”, who always have an answer for something. They make me so nervous.

Harry Potter is some awesome books. J.K. Rowling is an amazing author, I don’t know how she does it. Any of you guys on the 7th book? I’ve just started it and it’s good already. Harry Potter is a great hero for these books and the actor does a great job of playing him. Thanks to any of you who are reading this!
