I am considering purchasing the 5 Harry Potter books read unabridged on CD. Does anyone have them and do you recommend them? Thanks.  |

The British ones are stunning by Steven Fry  All of the voices are like they were in the films, I bet the actors used them for inspiration!  |

I have the versions read by Stephen Fry on CD and I have to agree with Roz ~ they are brilliant! They are mp3 format which will play on a computer and I've done copies for 'Harry Potter' friends already. The first four books went onto one CD-R and the fifth book onto another one and if you'd like me to burn you copy and send them to you then PM me, okay? |

If you close your eyes whilst listening to him reading Hagrid's speeches then he's uncannily like Robbie Coltrane! I have heard it said that the some of actors did in fact take their inspiration from his readings of the books ... whether that's true or not I honestly don't know. You can't really say they are better than the films, more that they complement each other beautifully. My two knuts worth ...  |

I never read one of the Potter books  I hear ONLY the german hearing books. I am a BIG FAN of Rufus Beck (his voice) who read the books. *seufz* I love his voice  I have all 5 on CD and MP3. I have buy a 20GB MP3 Player only to hear the Potter Books |

Remember I don't want to know the story of the other books until they make the films. |

Oh well then I don't suppose I should let it slip that Voldermort, or "Voldie" in book 4 finds that he was only evil because of a drinking problem?
Or that Ron is secretly the baddie of the whole outfit as revealed in book 5?

Hi Ed! I was just sooooo pleased that the CD's reached you intact and equally delighted you're enjoying listening to Stephen Fry reading the books. The pleasure was mine! |
