À propos de cet audio

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.

"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."

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.

La narration est tout simplement incroyable : les voix, les intonations, les ricanements, c'est parfait!

Love that I bought the narrations done by Dale. He is hilarious! His narrator voice is calm and homely. When he does the different characters, he truly commits! Truly the best narration for HP. I’ve read the books myself in my adolescence and now hearing it narrated by Dale makes me feel quality excited like I’m in the wizarding world myself all over again. Listening to these help me escape into Rowling’s world as therapeutic de-stressing sessions. I recommend everyone should get the ones narrated by Dale.

Jim Dale is excellent!

A great story, I've never taken the time to read it before, but it's always cool to understand how the author intended characters to look and behave; to see their world through their eyes.
I don't understand fully why Voldemort was pronounced with a silent T, that bothered me, (as well as a couple spells and voices that didn't quite fit the characters) but for the most part, it was a convincing performance.

Awkward voices & pronunciations, but enjoyable!

I grew up with the Harry Potter stories and was one of the most dedicated fans as a teenager. This is the first time I've listened to the stories via audiobook. Jim Dale does a fantastic job. I especially appreciate how he made the narration his own thing. He artistically embraced his own interpretation of the story and of each character and wasn't influenced by the movies.

EXCELLENT AS ALWAYS!!!

Everything about this book is wonderful. The narration sounds like your dad reading you a book when you were younger. I really enjoyed listening to this book and have listened to the rest of the series since

PERFECT AUDIOBOOK FOR STARTERS

If I can't get Stephen Fry to read me Harry Potter, this guy is an ok substitute. The only thing is that whenever he voices a woman who says Harry, he actually says "Hawwy". Congrats, you're cursed now too. #Audible1

A Great Comfort

A Cinderella story for boys - love the story but I prefer the proper British language (it’s the philosopher’s stone - and prefer words like jumper (British) in place of sweater (USA)

I would have enjoyed this book if it were the Stephen Fry version. Jim Dale's narration at times is cringey (ex. Hermione's whiny HARYEEEEEE), and I cannot justify listening to the Harry Potter audio books if he is my only option.

Why not Stephen Fry
