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!

Taking place nearly a century before the events of A Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R. R. Martin's ongoing masterwork, A Song of Ice and Fire. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne, there were Dunk and Egg. A young, naïve, but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals - in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg - whose true name (hidden from all he and Dunk encounter) is Aegon Targaryen.

"'Give me Harry Potter,' said Voldemort's voice, 'and none shall be harmed. Give me Harry Potter, and I shall leave the school untouched. Give me Harry Potter, and you will be rewarded.'"
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 Dark Lord is breathing fear into everything Harry loves and to stop him Harry will have to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Faultless Narration
What did you like most about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Book 7?
Stephen Fry's narration is perfect and brings every character to life in his own magical way.
What did you like best about this story?
Being the final book in the series it brings together all the characters and adventures well to a thankful happy conclusion. Whilst this is pure fantasy and imagination the realism of life is apparent in JK's writing as she touches upon sadness in the loss of loved ones.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
I loved the crazy aunt at the wedding, I'm sure most adults listening to the book will relate to it!
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The film is already made - but thank goodness for books and imagination!

Wonderful!
I am left wishing once again that there were more books to come. Characters that stay with you. Stories that make you laugh and cry and carry you away. The feelings these books evoked were no less affecting with Stephen Fry's wonderful audio narrative than they were upon first reading years ago. Magical in every sense if the word!

Sadness.
The first half of this book might be my least favourite, the sense of frustration and despair is passed almost too well to the reader. The second half is one of my favourites, so satisfying to see love beat hate and everything fall into place. Stephen Fry is masterful as the narrator. I'm sad my journey with Harry has ended, but this isn't the first time and it will certainly not be the last.

One of my best reads ever..
Stephen Fry would be one of the best narrators available and brings to life each and every character. These books although apparently aimed at the younger audience are equally ,if not more so, enjoyable by a more mature audience. A fantastic read that in one moment can almost bring you to tears and yet soon after have you giggling with laughter. Could not recommend thiese books highly enough.

A truley magical experience
Stephen Fry brings JK's imagination to life in ways one could only claim to be dreams made reality. It's funny, exciting, captivating and exhilarating. A must listen for anyone and everyone who wants a little magic in their life. Outstanding!

Enjoyable.
Loved it. Recommended reading. Stephen Fry is a delight to listen to and of course the book explains all the gaps omitted from the movie.

WOW
The Harry Potter series have been my first audio books and they have been one of the most amazing experience I have had.
With the combination of JK Rowling’s books and Stephen Fry reading them to me the books came alive. 😍

Amazing ending to the Harry Potter series
The only bad bit is that so many people die. It makes me sad that Dobby dies too.
