About this listen
Jim Dale's Grammy Award-winning performance of J.K. Rowling's iconic stories is a listening adventure for the whole family.
Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'.
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 has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!
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.

Story
Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

About the Author
"At any rate, if you have not listened to Harry Potter — even if you've read it and seen the films — you will be introduced to Harry, Ron, Hermione, and all the denizens of Hogwarts in a different way when you listen to The Sorcerer's Stone ... the richness of Rowling's characters, settings, and situations are brought to life, in my opinion, in an entirely different way when you listen to Jim Dale read them to you."
—Anne, Audible ListenerAbout the Performer
Few performers have had as diverse and fascinating a career as Jim Dale. Born in the small market town of Rothwell, Northamptonshire, Dale trained as a ballet dancer for six years but it was a series of stand-up performances in 1951 that put him on the map as one of Britain's young comedians. In the 1960s, his singing and songwriting earned him an Academy Award nomination for the title theme to Georgy Girl. Dale then turned to the stage, starring in dozens of productions with the British National Theatre Company and on Broadway, including The Taming of the Shrew, Oliver!, and Candide. In 1980, his portrayal of the circus showman in Barnum won him both a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award. (Over the course of his career, he'd earn four additional Tony nominations and five Drama Desk wins.)
In 2009, Dale was inducted in the American Theater Hall of Fame; five years later, his one-man-show Just Jim Dale opened in New York City to tremendous praise and critical acclaim. Audiobook fans will recognize him for his impeccable, finely tuned voice work. In the Harry Potter series alone, he has given life to hundreds of characters, expertly distinguishing every witch, wizard, house-elf, and goblin. He has captured hearts around the globe — including that of Queen Elizabeth II, who named him a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 2003. In addition to the Harry Potter series, Dale has narrated other kid favorites such as The Hundred Acre Woods, Peter Pan, and Alice in Wonderland, making fantastical worlds and characters even more magical. Dale has won two Grammy Awards for his narration of the fourth and seventh Harry Potter books, 10 Audie Awards, over a dozen AudioFile Earphone Awards, and was the first to be inducted into the American Audio Hall of Fame.

Okay but over rated
The story is okay but it is definitely a YA book.
The kids are disobedient and irresponsible while the teachers and adults are completely incompetent and nasty.
I think that it is worth a listen especially for a younger audience but I just don't understand how it got to be so popular.

IS THE BEST BOOK EVER!!
I enjoy the this book every time I listen to it (I’m up to 237) and I recommend it completely to anybody. Jim Dale is a great narrator and really lights up my imagination with voices although he pronounces a couple words that I wouldn’t say, for instance he pronounced bezoar as be-SHWA and he pronounces Gryffindor as GryffindER. He also pauses slightly before saying certain words like “My Mom and Dad know how to-pause-Apparate. Nonetheless he is a great narrator and I would recommend no bodily else but Jim. I love all the books and I hope that you will too! #Audible1

Must listen for those who are ALREADY fans
This came recommended to me by multiple people who have already seen the books and the movies. I was not sold at first because I have already read the series multiple times and am a little stingy with my one credit/month... but the highlight of the audio books is the narrator.
Jim Dale does a wonderful job of reading the story and making the characters come to life! The books were already great and his voice takes the story on a whole other level! This is also a big treat for those that have not read the book.

I’ve been reading and re-reading the Harry Potter books since I was 18. I love being able to just hit play and listen while at work or doing housework.

the story was one of my all-time favourites. I loved reading the books as a kid and the audiobook made me refall in love with the story. The narrator was very good, and I liked how he did different voices for each character. overall I'd say that this audiobook was very enjoyable
