When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves... But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss.

The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition. Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons and Dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through - alive!

Description
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'.
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.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"To call Dale a 'reader' of books is like saying Monet was a Sunday painter." (Los Angeles Times)
"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 Listener

About 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.

Brilliant, as expected!
The book was excellent, as I assumed it would be. Jim Dale does a fine job of narrating, but I still don’t understand why we don’t have the UK version (narrated by Stephen Fry) in Canada since we get the printed UK version instead of the US one. Regardless, I recommend it very highly. A fabulously entertaining listen!

Before she was famous, she still had some magic to her writing...far from perfect, filled with plot holes, she still managed to keep you interested. A wonderfull kids book unlike anything she wrote after the original H.P. series.

I have seen the movies a million times each, but have always been told the books are even better! I absolutely LOVE the Narrator, Jim Dale! He changes his voices for each character, uses various tones to
create emotion, and keeps me engaged. I will be getting ALL the Harry Potter books, and look forward to listening to other audibles narrated by Jim

The Narrator is BRILLIANT
This is my first go through the Harry Potter series and it’s off to a strong start. The other narrators have a lot to live up to because Jim Dale is simply magical. He pronounces Voldemort as “Voldemor” which doesn’t have the same effect but it’s forgivable for the voices and the enthusiasm he brings are just delightful. Very easy to recommend.

Love the book
Love the book, listen to it at least once a year. I love the narrator too, except for one detail that it is too late to do anything about. When in Hermione voice, the way he has her talking is not enjoyable and the Harreeeee! Is just annoying. Distraction to an otherwise enjoyable performance.

OMG the dialogue
Harrrrweee, thisss iss noootttt how youuuu weeed dialogue... it's not bad enough that every character sounds like they are a ninety-five year old man. The either over articulated, or her-ky. Jer-ky. Ar-tic-ula-tion. Of. The. Dia-logue. Was. Alllmmmossssttt unnbearrrrable. All the characters had the same whining tone and worse the emphasis hardly ever fit the context.
The narration was fine enough, but really, a huge portion of this book is dialogue and it was almost as painful as nails down the chalk board.
It really is a shame because I enjoy these stories, but I don't know if I can bear another book. It really makes the experience something to be endured, rather than enjoyed..

This was amazing!
I love Harry Potter and Jim Dale does an excellent job with portraying these characters and creating this world Harry lives in. He switches between character voices such as Hagrid, McGonagall, and Draco so seamlessly that you sometimes forget that it is not the actual characters speaking. I gave the story a 4/5 stars only because this was J.K's first novel and the story is a bit simple but the plots get better with each book. I definitely recommend this to any Harry Potter fan or anyone looking for a good story!

Narration is awful
The Narration by Jim Dale is awful. While dialogue is distinct for different characters, I get the impression that Hermione is about 70 years old and she sounds the youngest. Non-dialogue parts are read well and at a good speed, but the dialogue in addition to sounding like a bunch of old people is way too slow. These are young smart quick thinking kids, they shouldn't sound like dundering neanderthals.

My Sad, Sad Confession…
I will be completely honest here. I put off this book from the moment the hype took over, simply because I refused to believe the story would hold any interest for me. I even passed on the movies, honestly believing this was nothing more than a kid/young adult fairy tale that couldn’t possibly be anything worthwhile. I was wrong and I am so glad I finally convinced myself to read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone! I even went into the first few chapters thinking, “Okay, this is readable, but I still don’t see what all the fuss is about”. But by the time I reached the end of the story I found that I not only liked it, I was eager to read the next one. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone shows a lot of imagination and creativity that literally sucks you into the story and has you rooting for Harry (and the gang) throughout. Every time I thought the plot was predictable, Rowling flipped the script and surprised me. The characters were well developed and well thought out in advance, each with traits, quirks and flaws that makes each individual character stand out uniquely on their own. A lot of times I judge a book by the villain and Rowling didn’t disappoint with Voldemort. What a terrifying villain! I don’t want to give any spoilers but as far as “big bads” go, Voldemort is a top notch nemesis and I can’t wait to see more of him in the series. This is the type of villain every protagonist should face and I applaud Rowling for her genius construction of such a chilling threat.
I’ve raved about Voldemort, but every character is fascinating and intriguing. Every time I thought I had seen it all, she pulls out a new and fascinating character or mythological creature to grab my attention again. The novel has an addictive quality to it that has me eager to read all of the books in this series. I hope the rest of the books are as entertaining as the first (based on the mega fan base I’m sure that they are!) and now I can finally watch the movies- yeah, I know, I’m super late to the party, but better late than never right?
The narration in this audio book by Jim Dale is a fantastic performance that added layers of depth to Rowling’s work. He gave each character a unique voice that is easily identifiable and never missed a beat as the ongoing action rolled on. He put a lot of heart and hard work into this performance and captivated my attention throughout. This was truly a great listen and I will look for more works by him in the future, starting with the next six books in this series since he narrated them all. That’s a huge plus for this series. I hate when a series like this gets split up by multiple narrators and I’m thrilled Dale is handling all of these books. If you haven’t read this- don’t put it off any longer like I did. Pick this up today!

I’ve read the series some years ago, and wanted to brush up on the complete series. Jim’s reading performance was astounding for me. I can literally picture each scene using the actors faces from the movies of course. I don’t regret purchasing this auditable and nor should you.
