What a great way to re-open your heart to the magic of childhood.....

2008-08-02
I love the escape the Harry Potter series allows this middle-aged professional. Rarely one gets to re-capture the magic of childhood and still be enthralled by wonderfully entertaining characters exhalting the values we all want in our lives - friendship, integrity, sacrifice, success, teamwork. I just love the reader, Jim Dale's, ability to give each character their own individuality and with such precision over time. It's a LOT of characters to develop and remember. He is truly an artist. A series where each book grows in it's depth and character development and have been some of my all time audiobooks. Treat yourself to the series and share them with any one needing to remember the magic of childhood.

Harry Potter 1- 7 Audio Collection

Jim Dale brings the many characters in Harry Potter to life in an amazingly believable way. I thoroughly enjoyed the books and movies, but the audio collection is for me the most enjoyable way to enjoy the series.

I think Jim Dale puts so much life into these books. I love listening to them at anytime. I even have my husband listening to them now also. The set is great to have and well worth the cost

Excellent for keeping kids busy in the car

I wanted something to keep my kids busy on the long ride to my sister's house. I got the first Harry Potter and was hooked and had to buy all seven. We have listened to them once through and are starting over again. Anytime we get in the car I hear "Harry Potter mom" and I don't have to listen to them fight. It is so much better then letting them watch movies on trips, they have to use their imaginations and I finally got my oldest son to admit the books are so much better than the movies. Even though the movies were great. My kids were 7 and 9 to start and this kept them busy for a six hour trip; five minutes trips to the grocery store; ride home from the babysitters; etc. Not to mention my dad who never even wants to watch the movies because it is kids stuff is so totally hooked. I will be giving my extra book one and two to my nieces for Christmas.

Jim Dale Rocks!

Jim Dale provides an excellent performance of these delightful books. his voices, while not 100% consistent over time, are nevertheless entertaining and allow one to easily follow which characters are talking and when without involving an entire voice cast. I listen to these books while driving all day for work, and find myself neither distracted nor bored as I follow along in my car.

When my oldest son was young, I had time to read him each of the books in this collection. Those of you with multiple children know that time becomes scarce as your family grows. I really wanted to be able to enjoy these stories with my younger children, but we are so busy. This audio collection is so amazing. Not only can I multi-task while we listen in the evening or driving to activities, but the quality of the cd's is fabulous. The performance by Jim Dale is unbelieveable. He has so many voices and maintains the integrity of the character throughout 7 books. My 7 year old keeps jumping ahead of the rest of the family, because he loves them so much. This is an expensive set of books, but it is well worth it. This collection is one that you will read or listen to over and over again, so the investment is worth it, in my opinion. I highly recommend it.

Outstanding

I've read all the hardback editions, and still, the audio books were wonderful, perfectly embellished & very compelling for the listener & well worth the dollar investment. These Harry Potter audio books are already a treasured addition to my home library!

Jim Dale is amazing

As an avid fan of the books (my friends and family say I'm addicted, but I can stop anytime I want, I swear) I bought the audiobooks to listen to on my twice daily commute of 45 minutes. Jim Dale is simply superb as he brings all of my favorite characters to life with their own unique voices. Now I can take Harry Potter with me wherever I go without having to lug around those bulky books.
