Description
Jim Dale's Grammy Award-winning performance of J.K. Rowling's iconic stories is a listening adventure for the whole family.Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'.Close your eyes and enter the magical world of Harry Potter. In these editions, Jim Dale's characterful narration is so entertaining, fun, and theatrical you can almost hear the crackle of the fire in the Gryffindor common room.Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!Having become classics of our time, the Harry Potter stories never fail to bring comfort and escapism. With their message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new listeners. Read more

Originally, the book I received was defective, but the seller replaced it within 18 hours. The book was for my autistic granddaughter. For years, we have been trying to get her interested in reading, but it never appealed to her. When she finally decided she would give it a try, I thought Harry Potter would be an excellent first book for her. She read as far as chapter 7 but then discovered chapter 8 was missing. I felt so bad. I didn't want her first experience reading to be unsuccessful. Because of the prompt response from the seller, she was able to pick up where she left off, with hardly any delay. She said she enjoys reading, and wants more books. Her parents and I are so happy the world of reading has opened up to her. Many, many thanks.

I have seen all the movies, but dont have time to read the books and knew I was missing background information on the story and characters. I have a 30 minute drive to work, so listening to the CDs was a perfect way to pass the time.

It’s been nearly 25 years since I first curled up in my grandfather’s easy chair as a 10-year old and was mystified by Mr. Dursley’s strange day. It was the start of Christmas vacation when I picked up Harry Potter by chance at a small bookshop in Pompano Beach. This was at the start of the mania in the U.S and only books 1-3 had been published. My mother and I arrived at my grandparent’s house around 3pm and I had finished the book by 11pm that night. My grandparents arrived home from a church function around 6pm and I barely acknowledged them. Which was wholly out of character for me. My mom explained to my grandmother that we had picked up a book on the way over and that it must be really good because of the expressions I was making. Around 9pm I remember my mom asked me how much I had left to read because she was going to bed. She told me to hurry up which was impossible because I was already turning the pages faster than my fingers could go. I finally finished a little before 11pm and my mom asked jokingly, “How was it?” I was beaming and I launched into the details immediately. My mother stopped me. “Don’t tell me anymore, off to bed so I can read it!” For a few days after that, my mom and I thought we were some of the few people who knew about Harry. The way the first book ends especially if you’re a child and don’t have a lot of experiences by that age with series. You might mistakenly think book1 is all there is. So I spent weeks of my Christmas vacation playing alone in my grandparent’s overgrown backyard pretending to be Harry Potter blissfully unaware more was yet to come. Christmas morning came and I don’t remember anything else I got that year. Because my grandma and mom had realized it was clearly a series. I still remember sitting on my knees in front of the Christmas tree and my grandmother saying “There’s a special gift from Santa just over there…” It was heavy and quite large. I ripped and saw bright green letters glinting. I saw two thick books. I jumped up from the floor (because I was a low-key kind of kid) book in hands and screamed, “Is this Harry!” I also received audiobooks 1and 2 as well. I ran to the guest bedroom with the old tape player and opened up Chamber of Secrets and hit play. I read along with every word. I skipped Christmas lunch and to my mother’s shock pumpkin pie as well. I finished Chamber of Secrets in the same day and read Azkaban over the rest of vacation since it was a good deal larger. My grandmother had preordered Goblet of Fire back when she bought my other two books. She relayed to my mother that her friend who ran the bookshop told her that it was expected to sell fast. Neither my mother or grandmother quite believed or understood the level to which Harry Potter was sweeping the nation. They made little comments like, “must be popular or something.” I always visited my grandparents for every break so when summer rolled around we were once again at the little mall food court above the bookshop. This tiny mall was nearly always empty and went out of business a few years later. My grandmother wanted to get something from JC Penney and my mom said “I’ll take her to pick up that book.” My mom and I walked a little past the escalators and my mom paused. “Let’s move past all these people” An elderly couple with grey hair wearing black robes turned around to look at my mother with a pleasant smile. “ Line starts here.” “Oh, I’m just taking my daughter to pick up her book.” The woman smiled. “Yes, Harry Potter?” “Yes!” I interjected. The elderly woman smiled at me. “But we preordered?” My mom said slowly. The elderly man laughed “Yeah so did we.” It started to dawn on my mom all at once. “You mean all these people are here for Harry Potter?” The elderly couple in front of us started discussing with other adults wearing cloaks the trip they had planned to the UK to see all the landmarks. My kid brain was overwhelmed. “Mom can we go to London too!” I said excitedly. My mom was now actively trying to discourage me from talking to the adults in cloaks. My grandma met up with us confused which was uncommon for her to be. She always knew what do and in this situation she charged forward toward the entrance (dinner was at 6 there wasn’t time for all this) and made a motion at her friend who owned the book shop. She returned quickly with my book and said, “Hide it let’s go!” And we left the line in a hurry! The rest is history as they say. It’s so nice to go back to my 10 year old self. Harry Potter still managed to suck me right back in after all these years.

I finally picked this up, after watching all the movies. This book pulls you in and doesn't let go. J.K. Rowling built a world that feels so real. It’s not just a story about a boy finding out he's a wizard, but also an adventure packed with so much heart. The character development is so much more than what you get with the movies. It's the perfect start to an iconic series.

Harry Potter looks like your ordinary eleven-year-old kid, and has it much worse than a typical one. Orphaned as a baby, Harry got stuck with his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon Dursley, plus his cousin Dudley, the most spoiled and horrible pig of a boy on the planet. With them, Harry leads a miserable existence, until one day an owl brings him a mysterious letter. What the letter contains opens an entirely new world for Harry, one that begins with this enchanting first book in the series. I came to the Harry Potter series quite late; I didn't read them as a kid due to the witchcraft controversy, and just never got around to it after that. I finally bought Sorcerer's Stone for my Kindle to see what all the fuss was about...and because, I admit, I've always wanted a little magic in my life in some form. J.K. Rowling does not disappoint. Her writing is geared toward children, so there are some things I would normally object to, such as telling over showing, narrative summary, and the use of adverbs to describe how people do and say things. But again, considering the audience, I'm inclined to let that stuff slide. The story itself is, as I mentioned, enchanting. Harry has the perfect pair of eyes through which to view Hogwarts for the first time. Reading this book felt like starting at a new school myself--everything is new and different, there are new friends and adversaries to meet, and adventure waits everywhere. J.K. Rowling does a beautiful job describing and presenting the Hogwarts environment. Harry, Ron, and Hermione deal with typical middle school stuff, such as strict teachers and school bullies. But how many other kids do you know who also bond over getting a mountain troll out of the girls' room? Playing a literally killer game of chess? Smuggling a dragon onto the school roof so it can be transported to safety? Each mini-adventure and plot point is excellently done. As for the characters, they're engaging and incite plenty of empathy. This is especially true and important for protagonist Harry. In the beginning, he naturally incites a lot of pathos, but this boy is not a victim. Once he gets his legs under him, and his self-esteem gets a needed boost, he becomes quite the little hero without being obnoxious about it. My favorite scenes definitely involve him standing up to Draco Malfoy, especially for other students like Neville. Ron gets a chuckle every now and then, although he's frustratingly impulsive at times. Basically, he's the kind of kid you just want to hug. As for Hermione, I can see her becoming one of my fictitious soul sisters. Like her, I was a diligent and perfectionist student, though I hope for my classmates' sake I wasn't quite that much of a know-it-all. Like Hermione, I also struggled with making friends, but those I have are friends for life. (I'm not gonna lie; I'm kind of mad and disappointed that this isn't the Hermione Granger series). J.K. throws in a couple of twists at the end; they're nothing an adult couldn't figure out, but they are enjoyable. I also loved the trio's final adventure as they searched for the Stone, particularly Hermione's talent at solving the logic puzzle. Other highlights for me included the Mirror of Erised, Harry's first Quidditch game against Slytherin, and Hagrid himself, a well-drawn secondary character. He sort of acts as Harry's fairy godfather...or should that be hairy godfather? For any parents who might be wondering about the witchcraft element: No worries. What's here is downright tame, if it exists at all. It's mostly kids waving wands around, changing matches into needles, and learning how to fly on broomsticks. The scene in the Forbidden Forest involves some talk of astrology and the slaying of a unicorn, but nothing too intense. Personally, I'm ready to put on my Ravenclaw robes, pick up my fictional wand (beechwood with unicorn core, 10.5 inches, slightly springy) and read the next book.
