What a funny award. But kudos to Jim Dale. I haven't actually heard any of his reading other than clips posted around when HBP was released.

That is excellent. First a dinosaur named after Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and WIzardry now this. It really shows how big Harry Potter has become.

Hey that's cool. That's the only book I don't have on audio yet. They're so expensive and I don't really listen to them that much because I'd just rather read them.

That's a great thing to have...it helps people read and know about the book more faster because some of the books can be a bit difficult for some people...:):):)

That is very cool. I have not heard HBP, but I borrowed my neighbors OotP about a year ago, and I listen to it almost dailey, in the kitchen when I cook and do dishes. It, too, it narrated by Jim Dale, and it is just awesome!! He does all the different vioces and I quite enjoy it! I will have to go and buy that one.
