When Rob and I drove to California from North Carolina we listened to the Harry Potter series on audio CD. Actually it was on MP3 ‘s. I loved the narrator of the books, Jim Dale, who does such an amazing job of giving each character their own voice without sounding silly. On this jukebox you can listen to a short sample from each book. You can also go to Random House and listen to some of the voices by playing the Guess the Voices Game. Click the purple button at the top. If you haven’t tackled the books yet, or want to hear them again, maybe you’d like to try this alternative. Especially now that the seventh and final book is about to be released!
I love the voice of Jim Dale, he has such a clear and beautiful sound when he is reading. He pulls you in!
Pappy also told me just how much he loves the narrator, he thinks he does a phenomenal job of telling the story.
You know, I only read the first one – back in 2001! And, after starting the 2nd one, simply lost interest. Crazy, I know! Doug, on the other hand, has read all of them TWICE. And he is anxiously awaiting the release of the last one on Saturday. Maybe I should listen to them instead. It’s funny because I think part of me just doesn’t want to read them because of all the hype surrounding the whole thing. I don’t know – maybe someday I’ll pick up one of the books (after all, they are sitting on our bookshelf.) 🙂
I would imagine that listening to those really made the time go much quicker!
