Publisher's Summary

Jim Dale's Grammy Award-winning performance of J.K. Rowling's iconic stories is a listening adventure for the whole family.

'Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. Just stick out your wand hand, step on board and we can take you anywhere you want to go.'

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.

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...

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 audio book

My favourite part of this book was the revealing of Harry’s secret guardian, I would recommend this book to those who enjoy fantasy and suspense, I have it a 5 star cause Harry Potter is an incredible book and With audible I can do my homework or other things and listen quietly.

all-time classic

I love all the Harry Potter books, and Jim Dale is a fantastic narrator. If I'm ever feeling down, or bored, or just want to listen to something I know I'll enjoy I head to Harry Potter. Highly enjoyable way to experience a fantastic, classic story. #audible1

Compared to the movie

I wouldn’t have thought that my favorite Harry Potter movie could ever compare to a book but it really did. Can believe how well this was written
