| 1 out of 1 people found the following review helpful. As are a lot of people, I am a Harry Potter fan. So for an upcoming road trip we thought it would be fun to purchase the first Harry Potter audio book for entertainment on the road. We were very delighted by the reading of the novel. Jim Dale, who is the narrator of the current TV show Pushing Daiseys, has a wonderful voice for this book. His voice is very warm and makes the book come alive. His variety of voices for the various characters is spot on. We can't wait for our next road trip to be able to listen to the next of the Potter books in the series. | |

| 1 out of 1 people found the following review helpful. I only recently got interested in the Harry Potter series. Now that the last volume has been published I thought I would see what all the fuss is about. And since I really enjoy books on tape I bought this for a very good price on eBay. I was absolutely thrilled. Jim Dale does a remarkable job narrating this thorougly enjoyable book. He gives the characters real personalities and listening to J.K. Rowling's story is a marvelous way to enjoy her work. And I would like to say that the books are profoundly better than the movies... even though the movies are absolutely first rate, the books are even better. The Sorcerer's Stone sets the tone and the background for the Harry Potter series, and I have noticed that JKR does not needlessly embellish any part of her story. The narrative is crisp and concise and is often hillariously funny. I am especially pleased that these books on tape are UNABRIDGED .... I look forward to each book with increasing anticipation. | |

I am a teacher who uses "books on tapes" to help my low readers read better. This is a favorite book in the class. They especially appreciated the wonderful dramatization of the actor. They felt the book "come alive" for them. I appreciate anything which can inspire. | |

This is a wonderful book to read and to listen to on tapes. I have enjoyed all of J. K. Rowling books and hope she decided to keep writing in the future.I feel that she even could have these made into great movies. Ha Ha | |

I don't think there is another person alive who could do the voices that good. I especially love the way he does Mcgonnagal, Dobby, and Hermione. I think it is a bit easier to listen to the tapes than to read the books, and they're perfect for listening to on the road, or when you have insomnia, or just when you want to lay down and relax. All in all, perfect! | |

Thank you so much for making the books unabridged. I have read them all and am slowly getting the set on tape. they are great for throwing in while cleaning house or driving long distances. Jim Dale reads in such a way that you forget that only one person is reading. He can change his voice to cover everyone from Harry to Voldemort and still make it seem scary. The only thing i have a problem with is Voldermorts name. In the movie it is pronounced how it is spelled. But as Jim Dale reads you discover that the T is silent. I think it makes him sound more menacing and evil. You be the judge. this and all the books are terrific and should be listened to, to get the full effect. For those of you who dont have time to read or just dont like to the books on tape are the way to go. If you have seen the movies this is a way to fill in some things or just give you more of a story. Dont get me wrong the movies were and are great but I like having the rotten Dursleys in the begining and/or end of each book and watching them get their comeuppance in each i miss them in the movies. Happy listening. | |
