Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Year 7)
Which is faster: Reading the Book or Watching the Movies?
Those who have an extremely efficient reading level (or higher) can finish reading the book faster than watching the movies.
The book has 198,227 words (or according to another source, it's 204,796), while the movies have a running time of 276 minutes (Part 1: 146 minutes, Part 2: 130 minutes). So based on this:
You must read 719 words or more per minute to finish the book faster than the movie (for 198,227 words).
You must read 743 words or more per minute to finish the book faster than the movie (for 204,796 words).

Although I'm an above average reader (250-300 WPM), the movies will still finish first before I complete the book. How about you, what's your speed? Can your book-reading beat movie-watching? Take the test here and leave a comment to let me know.
