As he climbs into the sidecar of Hagrid's motorbike and takes to the skies, leaving Privet Drive for the last time, Harry Potter knows that Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters are not far behind. The protective charm that has kept Harry safe until now is broken, but he cannot keep hiding.

The final battle must begin - Harry must stand and face his enemy....

in the last chapter some more back story to how they rebuild the wizarding world after the last battle would have been greatly appriated

Excellent reader

This book in wheel written and entertaining, as everybody knows. I am enthusiastic about the reader: really excellent

That voice

I want Stephen Fry to narrate every book on this site. If I had a choice, I would probably have either him or Morgan freeman narrate my life too!

excellent is an understatement

I ADORE this book, it has several things not in the movies that provide a very different feeling and more rounded experience. Also you can not miss the master narrator's work. He is a genius! You can feel the every single emotion and imagine every single character because of of the voice resources he uses during his reading. It's AMAZING, worth it's price in gold!!! As far as I'm concerned, his interpretation of the book is what I'll be hearing in my head every time I revisit the world of Harry Potter.

Find a better book, I dare you

Great book, great narration. What might you want more than this? Seriously. It's great.

There is nothing wrong with Harry Potter

I love listening to Stephen Fry. he does such a good job at the characters.

best novel ever/worst performance ever

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h e r t y u

breathtaking

This is the most thrilling and breathtaking book of this series. Oce you have your hands on it, it becomes hard to put it down. what a beautiful ending.

Stephen Fry amazing

Magnifique acting of Stephen Fry... by far the best narrator I’ve encountered on my many books.
The story is amazing too... it’s good to live in a magic world!!!

The most fantastic audiobook

I loved the films, reading books, studio tour and most recently seen the play. But, my best Harry Potter experience has been listening to Stephen Fry reading JK Rowling's fantastic story. Addictive listening. Beyond brilliant. Stephen Fry is a master narrator and I would like to say THANK YOU.

BRILLIANTLY

LOVED it Stephen Fry mad this stand out so much passion in his voice you cannot fail to listen to this.

After all this time?

Always.




I will never outgrow these beautiful books, thank you forever miss Rowling.

Stephen Fry, you are exceptional.

Oh Boy!

I love this book so much, there's so much going on in it, so much to learn and digest. The darkness that started a few books ago really comes to the fore in this, not just to do with Voldemort but internal mental darkness. The characters all do so much growing up in this book. I could go on and on but I won't, always....

Hallowed Be Thy Name Harry Potter!

This book marks the end of a long journey for anyone who has followed Harry, Ron, Hermione and the others through their school years at Hogwarts. During this journey there have been magical moments of high drama, genuine warmth and of course no little humour. As the books have progressed however it’s become more real, more edgy and increasingly tense. The challenge for JK Rowling with the Deathly Hallows was whether she could tie it all up and give this impressive series a satisfying conclusion.

Well, to cut what is a long story short she did just that. For anyone that doesn’t know the stories I’ll include no real spoilers but this is a story of its own with twists, turns and mysteries to be solved. Rowling has Harry and the reader questioning the motives and natures of many of the characters and much is kept hanging until very near the end. Her patience in building the back story over the previous books brings rich rewards in terms of several eyebrow raising moments. Highlights for me include the climactic battle including the way in which it is resolved and blessedly redemption for my favourite character in all of the books. The author spends a long time developing the story and this is a bleaker book than the ones that have gone before but no less satisfying for all that. This is, after all, the wizarding world at war, casualties had to be expected!

Stephen Fry brings it all to our ears with consummate professionalism and genuine empathy meaning that I can happily say goodbye to the Potter stories content that I’ve now completed one of modern literature’s great adventures.

Long live Longbottom

How can Stephen Fry, reading the Harry Potter books, be anything but fantastic.
I've just finished the series & want to start again.

Fantastic

Any additional comments?

I've listened to the entire series and this was a great conclusion.
I'd never read the books before, only seen the films.
Apart from the cop-out epilogue, I thought it was great definitely worth a listen.
Stephen Fry is fantastic.

Wonderful

Great conclusion to the series wonderfully performed by Stephen Fry. The narration, characterisation and pacing were excellent and really brought the story alive. I've read all seven of the Potter books but this audio version really added something extra - I noticed things I hadn't seen when reading. A definite plus factor in the performance.

To bad this was written by a transphobe

It could have been enjoyable if it wasn't written by someone who uses their fame and influence to attack minorities

The final part

This final episode of the Harry Potter series sees Harry leave school. The story cleverly links through elements of the previous stories. Listening to this audiobook takes hold of your imagination - much better than seeing the films - more detail - greater suspense and more vivid characters. - Great.
