Harry Potter Grows Up

Categories: Digital Audiobooks , Children's Books

On a recent road trip I listened to a fraction of the over 21-hour audio book on CD of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows narrated by the incomparable Jim Dale. It swept me away.

Harry and his friends again exhibit their talents and resourcefulness without becoming too "precious". These kids ring true and act like kids everywhere, with maybe a little extra grit and courage. And magic. I refuse to reveal anything except that the ending is very satisfying.

There is, I must admit, a long waiting list for The Deathly Hallows on CD, but don't forget all the rest of the Harry Potter audio books while you are waiting. Refer to my past blog entry, Tell Me a Story and Make The Commute Bearable, for the entire list. 

Jim Dale also narrates other books, such as the Peter and the Star Catchers series, Peter Pan, and Arthur and the Invisibles. Look for more information in a later entry, devoted entirely to this talented man.
