Yea! Just yea! I love to read the book but sometimes it's just wonderful to sit out under a tree on a hot sunny day sipping limeade and listen to the book.

Seems like there is an award for everything... and the Harry Potter series seems to win it all. Big congrats to JKR and Jim Dale; every award, no matter how obscure, is cool.

Way to go HBP and Jim Dale. I have never heard any of the CD's I prefer reading the book. My friend have said they love Jim Dale's narration. I'll stick with the books though.
