Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Narrated by Stephen Fry)

De: J.K. Rowling

Narrado por: Stephen Fry

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.

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'.

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.

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!

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.

Finally! Fry narrates. Now I have to buy all the books again

I have loved this series for decades but always wanted the Stephen Fry version to the point I considered a VPN.

I have bought and listened to all of the books with Jim Dale’s narration. While Dale is an incredible performer, Fry might be my all time favorite.

Thankful to have the opportunity to listen but I wish I didn’t have to spend another seven credits and could just trade the Dale versions for Fry. If it were any other narrator I wouldn’t splurge but Stephen Fry could read me my car manual and I would listen to the whole thing.

I'm so happy!

I am so happy that the Stephen Fry readings of the Harry Potter books are now available on Audible in the United States. I get a lot of pleasure from and admire the quality of Stephen Fry's audiobook performances. Harry Potter and Stephen Fry are a great combination. With this said I do want to say that I have enjoyed multiple listenings of the Dale Hill performances. There is nothing wrong with them at all. But Stephen Fry readings are always particularly good. I snapped the first three up as soon as I saw the advertisement that they are available. I have wanted to find out what Fry's version would sound like and it doesn't disappoint. I am totally happy with volume one and will now continue on to volume two.

British slang 🇬🇧 finally!! Just as JK wrote them!

I have been waiting for over 20 years to hear / read the original version of these wonderful books 😃

Beautiful narration

I still love Jim Dale but this is brilliant as well. Nothing else needs to be said about the story. - Laura Hall

Love this version best!

I really prefer this audio version to the Jim Dale version and am so glad they are available on Audible now. I love Stephen Frye and he does a wonderful job on this series.
