I am so glad to see the recognition of the works this way. The auido versions are a great way to enjoy the books. They provide a full version of the book compared to the movies and give you someone else's interpretation of the book. I have both Jim Dale's versions and Stephen Fry's. Both are different in delivery and excellent entertaininment.

Very cool. Congrats to HP!
I have never listened to the audio version of the books. I dont think I would like someone elses voice attached to the characters other than my own mind's and the actors.
