    Yea I've got them too. He does a great job of reading them and is easy to listen to. Oddly, for America they get Jim Dale (of Carry On fame) to read the books :confused:

    I think they're great.
    One funny thing I noticed was that I had totally missed some of the clever word play in the books till I heard Stephen reading it. e.g. Diagon Alley.

    I don't own them but I heard an excerpt of one of them and as I suspected Stephen Fry's 'dulcet tones' are perfect for the books!

    Explain which? Diagon alley...Diagonally?
    Why they get Jim Dale to read them? This, I cannot explain. Stephen Fry does a marvellous job.
