J.K. Rowling

[Jess]

Does she need an introduction? Rowling is the author of the ever popular Harry Potter series. Like her? Love her? Hate her?

[Lisa Kay]

Love her. Love the series. I've read it twice. I was thinking of listening to them on audiobook, as I've heard the narrator is excellent.

[Jess]

I've never listened to the books on audio before, I've heard Alan Rickman reads though. Is that true?

[Lisa Kay]

I think the audiobooks are performed by Jim Dale. My friend offered to lend them to me... I'll have to check with her, Jess (and she's OOT this weekend).

Stephen Fry reads my copies and he's brilliant.
Jim Dale reads the U.S. versions and Stephen Fry the U.K. versions.

[Jen]

I have the Jim Dale versions, and he is an amazing reader!

[Shanna]

I think I'm gonna have to get the Jim Dale ones just to compare.

[Lisa Kay]

LMAO!

You can compare for yourselves...

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Before listening I would of said Stephen Fry, now it's Jim Dale all the way :D

Thanks Shanna :)

[Lisa Kay]

Neat, Shanna! Thanks. I think they are both good, but Jim Dale'is better.

I am a huge fan of Jim Dale. His voice just really works for me, I will pick up books I could care less about just to hear him read.
