Publisher's Summary
There it was, hanging in the sky above the school: the blazing green skull with a serpent tongue, the mark Death Eaters left behind whenever they had entered a building...wherever they had murdered...
When Dumbledore arrives at Privet Drive one summer night to collect Harry Potter, his wand hand is blackened and shrivelled, but he does not reveal why. Secrets and suspicion are spreading through the wizarding world, and Hogwarts itself is not safe. Harry is convinced that Malfoy bears the Dark Mark: there is a Death Eater amongst them. Harry will need powerful magic and true friends as he explores Voldemort's darkest secrets, and Dumbledore prepares him to face his destiny...
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.
What the critics say
"To call Dale a 'reader' of books is like saying Monet was a Sunday painter." (Los Angeles Times)

Best book in the series ?
Yet again, Jim Dale brings to life this amazing universe that is getting progressively darker by every chapter. I can't wait to get my next credit and finish, once again, the saga that molded my childhood. Slytherin for life !

Jim Dale is a genius
Jim Dale is incredible. I listen to these books over and over and his rendition is virtually flawless. The only hiccup in this volume is that Phineas Nigellus’ voice is not the same as in the other books.

Another amazing book & performance
I’ve listened and read this book and series many times over. It remains one of my favourite series of all time and Jim Dale is absolute perfection as narrator.

Great Harry Potter story, poor performance
I won't waste time talking about the story. It's Harry Potter. Love it or leave it, we all have our opinions by now.
Dale's performance is unfortunately quite poor though. He often uses the incorrect tone and makes genuine lines sound sarcastic or other similar mix ups. In an attempt to differentiate character voices he gives out accents seemingly at random with no regard to the character's origins. Not a detrimental issue but it does detract from the experience. Odd to hear this from the Pottermore official audio

Well done, girls voices need some variety
The story is wonderful and the reader does a marvelous job, the only frustration we had was all the girls voices are done the same.
