Cool, Jim Dale is a good reader but I don't like audio books very much because they make the stories a kind of material.

Man, does a day go by when HP doesn't win some form of award, opr doesn't have dinosaur skeletons named after it?! Of course, I'm not begrudging it this recognition, but it sure is hard to keep all.

I almost want to get it on audio tape just to listen to it while I work... Because who wants to actually do work? The audio tape would allow me to "read" it when i felt like it... Oh the possibilities.

As a Brit, I think Stephen Fry is the best at the narration of the harry potter series, but congrats to all involved in the US.
