I wouldn't have thought they'd even have an audio section, but then I guess it's good just in case the book doesn't get in. It's too bad GoF and OtTP didn't get in, I love those two!

I have the audio book in my ipod so I know what there talking about, and there are right to make inducted. I would love to hear book 7 right now but that would be cheating.

Thats great!!!! Harry Potter keeps getting more and more awards. I think I'm going to get the audio book this weekend for my 3 year old. We are taking a longtrip in the car and I think he might like that. I have read all the other books to him. It sounds like it was really well done. Well done Harry!!!!

Wow, that pretty prestigious! I didn't realize that audio books could join halls of fame. Jim Dale must be so very proud. I've only heard the OotP audio book, but I thought it was lovely.

umm, not really into the audio and all that but its great that it got inducted in the Audio Publisher's Association's brand new Hall of Fame. This will make the HP last longer even more.

I've never learned about that... I'm happy to see that it will enter it, it was the best of the serie for now, and it's really easy to listen to a book...
