Publisher's summary

Stephen Fry brings the richness of these magical stories to life in the original British recordings, available for the first time in the United States and Canada.

There it was, hanging in the sky above the school: the blazing green skull with a serpent tongue, the mark Death Eaters left behind whenever they had entered a building... wherever they had murdered...

Treat your ears to a performance so rich and captivating you'll imagine yourself in the halls of Hogwarts. Wherever you listen, the unmistakable voice of Stephen Fry is guaranteed to guide you ever more deeply into this magical story and transport you to the heart of the adventure.

When Dumbledore arrives at Privet Drive one summer night to collect Harry Potter, his wand hand is blackened and shrivelled, but he does not reveal why. Secrets and suspicion are spreading through the wizarding world, and Hogwarts itself is not safe. Harry is convinced that Malfoy bears the Dark Mark: there is a Death Eater amongst them. Harry will need powerful magic and true friends as he explores Voldemort's darkest secrets, and Dumbledore prepares him to face his destiny...

Theme music composed by James Hannigan.

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.

💜BEST TYPE OF EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER!!💜

I LOVED ALL OF IT!!!
Every emotion one could expect to find in a good story (plus some I did not think could/would emerge) is found within the cover of this book. I cried so hard for the last 5 chapters. I also experienced suspense, fear of what might happen next, joy, anger, hurt, betrayal, and so many more raw emotions. All the stages of grief flooded out in the last few chapters that I was literally shaking during some spots of this book.
NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!! lol 😂

Fry’s voicing of characters are amazing!

There was no annoying background music to listen to. The recording relied on the text and Steven Fry’s talent.

inspiring and heartbreaking story beautifully spoken!

Stephen Fry again performs vocal magic! One of my favorite Harry Potter books, and he does it all it's due justice. He envelopes you into the characters, really makes you feel how they are feeling. Unfortunately, towards the end, he makes the heartbreak ever so much defined!

A beautiful book

This is a fantastic book, but again the narration puts it over the top. Stephen Fry’s reading of these books is stunning!

Stephen Fry is a legend

Title says it all. Stephen Fry is not only a terrific voice actor, but a fabulous actor.

This is it: the best. Stephen Fry at last, pitch perfect.

Stephen Fry is IT. Finally we have his voice in the US; we’ve been asking Audible for years to sort that out for us and now they have.

Well done Audible.

He does it all: characters, creatures, measured pauses, voices, emotions, subtle and over-the-top.

He always pronounces “pocketed it” perfectly (if you don’t know that story, you can find videos of Fry recounting it).

I am so grateful to have this collection at last, at last.
