Publisher's Summary

‘There is a plot, Harry Potter. A plot to make most terrible things happen at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year.'

Harry Potter's summer has included the worst birthday ever, doomy warnings from a house-elf called Dobby, and rescue from the Dursleys by his friend Ron Weasley in a magical flying car! Back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his second year, Harry hears strange whispers echo through empty corridors - and then the attacks start. Students are found as though turned to stone... Dobby's sinister predictions seem to be coming true.

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.

Jim Dale isn't my favourite

Reader pronounces certain words differently than I expect them to be said, but overall a pleasant experience.

A great travel buddy

Our family greatly enjoyed listening to this on our road trip. The kids preferred to hear Harry Potter over watching DVD’s.

Fabulous Book, Okay Narrator

Obviously the book is a well-loved classic, and I knew that re-reading this in audible form, I would love it just as much. However, the narrator is not at all my favorite. It was read at a good pace and the descriptions and general story were easy to listen to, but the way he read people's voices and conversations bugged me a lot. He would drag out words that I would read short, and changed the way characters said things from the way they are described. It made a lot of the talking points a bit hard to listen to, it got a bit irksome! I may be being a bit hard on it though, as I have read the books so many times and watched the movies, that things are burned in my mind a certain way and I don't love when it is changed up.

Magical

Jim Dale does a wonderful job narrating this book and using different voices for each character. My 6 and 8 year olds listened to this book with me and were so intrigued.
