Publisher's summary

Jim Dale's Grammy Award-winning performance of J.K. Rowling's iconic stories is a listening adventure for the whole family.

'There is a plot, Harry Potter. A plot to make most terrible things happen at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year.'

Close your eyes and enter the magical world of Harry Potter. In these editions, Jim Dale's characterful narration is so entertaining, fun, and theatrical you can almost hear the crackle of the fire in the Gryffindor common room.

Harry Potter's summer has included the worst birthday ever, doomy warnings from a house-elf called Dobby, and rescue from the Dursleys by his friend Ron Weasley in a magical flying car! Back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his second year, Harry hears strange whispers echo through empty corridors - and then the attacks start. Students are found as though turned to stone... Dobby's sinister predictions seem to be coming true.

Having become classics of our time, the Harry Potter stories never fail to bring comfort and escapism. With their message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new listeners.

Creepy and Perfect

Any additional comments?

This was my favorite of all the harry potters when I was 11. This reading made me feel certain of this again. Jim Dale did a mystical job and made me love how creepy this story was. Showed you the characters true colors in his changing of his voices for every character. Very funny moments throughout. BUY THIS AND EVERY HARRY POTTER BOOK.

narrator

just don't like the narrator all that much, I think his voices aren't that great and his pronunciation of pretty much anything not in normal everyday diologue sucks. it irks me to hear his say "VoldemorE" or "Harieeeeeeee" it's a good thing I really love the story and nostalgia from reading them as a kid. That's pretty much the only thing keeping me on these audio books.

Classic

Rarely do you come across a book let alone a series you can listen to time and time again year after year, as I do this very one. I have fallen in love with all the characters and in my imagination the narration and performance truly brings the story to life, for me the definitive version.

Well written, expertly narrated

I never had much interest in Harry Potter, but in the process of doing research for a Harry Potter themed birthday party for my wife, I have discovered that these books are wonderful. Jim Dale is an inspired narrator.
