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.

Jim Dale - Performer

About the Performer

Few performers have had as diverse and fascinating a career as Jim Dale. Born in the small market town of Rothwell, Northamptonshire, Dale trained as a ballet dancer for six years but it was a series of stand-up performances in 1951 that put him on the map as one of Britain’s young comedians. In the 1960s, his singing and songwriting earned him an Academy Award nomination for the title theme to Georgy Girl. Dale then turned to the stage, starring in dozens of productions with the British National Theatre Company and on Broadway, including The Taming of the Shrew, Oliver!, and Candide. In 1980, his portrayal of the circus showman in Barnum won him both a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award. (Over the course of his career, he’d earn four additional Tony nominations and five Drama Desk wins.)

In 2009, Dale was inducted in the American Theater Hall of Fame; five years later, his one-man-show Just Jim Dale opened in New York City to tremendous praise and critical acclaim. Audiobook fans will recognize him for his impeccable, finely tuned voice work. In the Harry Potter series alone, he has given life to hundreds of characters, expertly distinguishing every witch, wizard, house-elf, and goblin. He has captured hearts around the globe—including that of Queen Elizabeth II, who named him a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 2003. In addition to the Harry Potter series, Dale has narrated other kid favorites such as The Hundred Acre Woods, Peter Pan, and Alice in Wonderland, making fantastical worlds and characters even more magical. Dale has won two Grammy Awards for his narration of the fourth and seventh Harry Potter books, 11 Audie Awards, over a dozen AudioFile Earphone Awards, and was the first to be inducted into the American Audio Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the Audible Narrator Hall of Fame in 2017 and remains a much-adored and highly celebrated narrator, beloved by millions of listeners around the world.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"To call Dale a 'reader' of books is like saying Monet was a Sunday painter." (Los Angeles Times)

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

I love Harry Potter and Jim Dale does an excellent job with portraying these characters and creating this world Harry lives in. He switches between character voices such as Hagrid, McGonagall, and Draco so seamlessly that you sometimes forget that it is not the actual characters speaking. I gave the story a 4/5 stars only because this was J.K's first novel and the story is a bit simple but the plots get better with each book. I definitely recommend this to any Harry Potter fan or anyone looking for a good story!

This was amazing!

What didn’t you like about Jim Dale’s performance?

Jim Dale puts emphasis on the wrong words, incorrect emotions to passionate sentences, and draws out words where it doesn't make sense to do so. He's easy to follow and understand so I didn't want to give him 1 star, but I'm not a big fan in general.

Great Book - Meh Narrator

I grew up with the books and am really excited for them to finally be on audible. I love the story and it's the best series of all time. unfortunately these aren't the Stephen Fry narrated ones, he does a much better job then Jim Dale but the book is great non the less.

POTTER!!!!

If you could sum up Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Book 1 in three words, what would they be?

the perfect beginning

What does Jim Dale bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Jim Dale is the perfect man for this series. He has unique voices that bring life to each character while remaining calming to listen to.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes!

Any additional comments?

I have always loved Harry Potter and have wanted the audiobooks for years now. I love that I can now consume the stories while driving, biking, shopping, cleaning or pretty much any other time. Any of the books are perfect to have on in the background of any task. I am so excited that they are finally available on Audible!
