That's pretty cool to hear. And since it's the first, that is always a great honour to see and read about. I wonder what future books might be added?

Congrat to JK Rowling for writing such a great book's. Thats so cool that the Audio has been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Now all we need to do is get the other 5 into the Hall of Fame.

That's really good, but sadly I've never listened to the audio books. I was planning on doing it this summer when I got out of school.

What a great choice! Anything that increases the publicity for the HP books and thus further spreads the wonderful messages in them is a GOOD thing!

Well done Jim Dale! It's a shame Stephen Frys' attempts are never noticed though as he is amazing. I've never heard Jims narration but i bet it's damn good!
