Awesome! They had to put a good movie in so they would get recognized by the public! Otherwise it's just another association. Don't you think we have enough of them?

Yay! I'm glad Jim Dale is getting lots of recognition because he does a lot with the books but you never really notice.

I've never lisented to the Audio version of any of the books...I find it harder to imagine what's happening with the voice if somebody else in my head..I prefer reading on my own

Congratulations to Jim Dale -- though I have to admit I've never listened to a book in my life. So far the old eyesight is holding up just fine, so I read, read, read!

This is interesting, everyone should have a hall of fame. Mailmens hall of fame, fastest deliverer, most well liked..resturants hall of fame, best server...publishers hall of fame, fewest mistakes on record...Students hall of fame? What would the categories be there??

Well I guess thats kinda cool, but I think its more fun if you read it yourself. I never even knew there was HP on a CD or audio. I guess ya learn something new EVERY day.

That would be really cool. Imagine, someone reading it for you. All you would have to do is sit down on your couch, push play and listen to what the story has to say. That would be so cool, but the regular book is probaly more affortable. I am only a kid, and its hard to get my hands on money. :)
