I thought I'd missed a CD at first, because the tone was very different from the Order of the Phoenix, but as the scene progressed it was apparent JK Rowling had not only written a comical interlude it was also a lampoon of the man in charge of the country at the time she was creating the books. SF's performance is exceptionally superb in this section too. Hilarious goes without saying. JD's version misses all that, presenting a straightforward comical interaction without sly digs or political undertones. Of course everyone's tastes are different and certain things are more appealing to listeners. During my research I read a concise description of the difference between the two versions: JD's better for the funny parts and SF's better for the serious parts. That pretty much sums it up. I liked that the Durnsley household was a grim situation for Harry, that I felt it when a character died or was frustrated when injustice triumphed.
I liked being aware of the fine line Snape was treading when he was interrogated by Bellatrix; admiring his nerve, understanding his motivations and hatred yet still not liking him very much. Like I said earlier, the characters come off as real people, warts and all. If you're into that? It's a subtle, touching, nuanced performance filled with dry wit and superb comedic timing. The entire CD collection is well packaged. Lifting the lid gives the sensation of viewing books stored on a shelf. I, for one, am very happy with my purchase. I reread the Harry Potter series every year. Now that I have Stephen Fry narrating the series I also listen to it every year as well as the reread. His voices for various characters are wonderful to listen to. I would recommend anyone to buy this version when you have the money to invest. One person found this helpful. We have the first 5 books as read by Jim Dale and I love them but my wife finds minor problems with his pronunciations so I got her this collection as read by Stephan Fry and she loves them, as do I.
Frys version is not that easy to find I think so we were glad to get it. LOVE HARRY POTTER! I have already listened to Jim Dale's version of all the books. I thought I would give Stephen Fry a chance especially since he got high reviews. His voice does take some getting used to, but he is just as good a narrator as Jim Dale is once you get used to him. This audio collection is the English version though, and I am reading along with the American version of the books. I did not think it would matter to me that some of the vocabulary is different, but it does. This, however does not take away from the fact that these CD's are excellent and come in a very sturdy well marked collectable box. I am extremely pleased with this collection. For me, it was worth the price and will be something we can pass down from generation to generation.
I didn't realize precisely what I ordered when I picked this out. I got it mostly because the price was more affordable than the other sets. When I received it I was impressed by the box set and how pretty it is. The first thing I noticed is that the first book is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. That didn't bother me at all as that is the original British title. Second, I didn't look before purchasing at the voice actor doing the reading. It is Steven Fry, not Jim Dale. I love Jim Dale's versions of these audio books, so at first I was disappointed that it was not him. After listening to the first book however, Steven Fry has grown on me and is a close second. I'm writing the review so that if Jim Dale is who you are looking for this is not it, but it is a very good set, with a very pretty box for storage.
I love the Harry Potter books, which are narrated by Jim Dale in the US and by Stephen Fry in the UK. A complete waste of money, sadly. Stephen Fry does a creditable job, but Jim Dale is better in every way. i have always wanted the English version of this. I have and love the American version, but i Lso love Stephen Fry. Also i get to hear original book, the Philosopher's Stone as opposed the dumbex xown American version Sorcerer's stone. Get to see what had to be changed. I love it. Display box for it is vreat. Love listening to Stephen Fry read Harry Potter.
I like this version better than the American one read by Jim Dale. Dale is good too, but it seems more authentic read with a British accent. Yes, it is expensive. However I plan to enjoy it for many, many years to come. See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. Stephen Fry is an absolute Legend. Report abuse. Still listening 2 the cd's. Such a large collection, that im only just over half way through them. Came in a lovely storage box, so this minds all the cd's. Great collection. Absolutely brilliant!!!! Hours of listening pleasure with the inimitable Stephen Fry and a godsend during the long hours of working from home, alone, during the pandemic lockdown.
Quick delivery of a beautifully presented boxset. Endless hours of entertainment and will be listened to again and again. Love these stories told by Stephen fry.

I read the Harry Potter books years ago and saw the movies , but I never explored listening to the audiobooks. Here in the US the only narrated version available is Jim Dale's. Listening to the audio samples hadn't inspired me to try them. I kept getting the strong sense I wouldn't enjoy it.
The performance sounded like the voice characterizations were targeted for a child's humor. Now, there's nothing wrong with children's audiobooks being made for young listeners, but unfortunately that also limits the appeal for adult listeners. The story's communicated with depth and dimension, populated with vivid, well rounded characters and, weird as it sounds, it's also realistic. I know, I know, magic and all that, but still, it's like I'm listening to real people in a fantastic adventure. Tim Curry's performance on Garth Nix's Old Kingdom trilogy is a great example of this.
I'd tell friends to check it out, the story's fascinating and has the best talking cat in it. Soft, purring trills added to some dialog and screeching yowls when angry or alarmed. It's really, really good. The second book has a dog in it and it's voice is perfect too. The whole trilogy is a seriously fun listen with death, dire consequences and excitement. And every friend reacted: Um, yeah, talking animals? Is it a kids book? I don't know sounds kind of young for me. So I've gifted Sabriel to several of them to overcome the 'kid's book' stigma and I can always tell if they've listened to it. Months years go by and suddenly they're OMG THAT WAS FANTASTIC! Do you have the next book? I point them to the recordings that are, thankfully, still available and haven't been redone by someone else.
A couple of other gem audiobooks in the children's genre in my audio library are Ironman: The Gauntlet, by Eoin Colfer, narrated by Ari Fliakos and The Girl Who Drank the Moon, by Kelly Barnhill, narrated by Christina Moore.
