Publisher's Summary

Eigentlich hatte Harry geglaubt, er sei ein ganz normaler Junge. Zumindest bis zu seinem elften Geburtstag. Da erfährt er, dass er sich an der Schule für Hexerei und Zauberei einfinden soll. Und warum? Weil Harry ein Zauberer ist. Und so wird für Harry das erste Jahr in der Schule das spannendste, aufregendste und lustigste in seinem Leben. Er stürzt von einem Abenteuer in die nächste ungeheuerliche Geschichte, muss gegen Bestien, Mitschüler und Fabelwesen kämpfen. Da ist es gut, dass er schon Freunde gefunden hat, die ihm im Kampf gegen die dunklen Mächte zur Seite stehen.

Please note: This audibook is in German.

Wonderful tool to improve german as 2nd language

Wunderbar! As an English speaker working on refreshing and improving my understanding of spoken German (studied for several years over a decade ago), this was an excellent beginner audiobook. Knowing the storyline of the book from the English version and the movies was perfect for helping me to understand and learn new words from context without having to look up every word I heard. I plan to continue through the series before expanding to more uncharted territories. The narrator did a wonderful job of acting out the characters and immersing the listener in the storyline.

Guter Vorleser, Übersetzung gut genug

Ich habe die Harry Potter Serie so lieb, und ich habe mich auf das deutsche Hörbuch sehr gefreut. Normalerweise bemerke ich eine Übersetzung nur, wenn sie besonders ungeschickt ist, also bin ich glücklich, dass diese Übersetzung kaum auffallend ist. Der Vorleser ist ein bisschen mild, und manchmal sind seine Stimmen schwer erkennbar, aber insgesamt ist dieses Hörbuch ganz schön.

Great for practicing/learning German

This version speaks ever so slightly slower than the other German narrator. Great for intermediate German students who want to practice their listening before moving onto German news.

Comfort story

I've read the Harry Potter series several times since its release, and watched the movies as many times. I've been trying to learn German, and felt like having a familiar story in the background might be a fun way to get a feel for the flow of the language. I recommend for anyone wanting to accomplish the same goal. The narrator was great and brought this book and the characters to life.

Hat's geniessen

Ich mag das Buch sehr, und Manteuffel ist ein Meisterleser. As a non-native speaker, Manteuffel does great character voices, speaks clearly and once one knows the "fantasy" vocabulary, it's a great way to practice listening skills.

Ausgezeichnet

Gut gelesen , mit Feingefuehl fund einem amendment Schmunzeln. Kann ich guten Gewissens hoch empfehlen .

Ich Leibe Das! (I Love This)

Thanks for this book. (Danke 4 die booke) (In German) It's funny and sensational. I love Harry Potter! (Ich leibe Harry Potter) (In German)

mediocre

The translation needs better editing, narrator needs to learn pronouncing English names (or Indian ones), but Rowling is fantastic as usual.

great

I loved it. It was told by the best narrator ever(I mean Felix von Manteuffel)!

Awesome book, awesome speaker

The speaker is just amazing!!!!! Makes the book so amazing to hear, it was my first experience and I loved it

Great

If you would like to practise and improve your German, then I would recommend listening to this book. Felix von Manteuffel (who narrates it) has a great voice. He makes it easier to understand.

I love the books and the whole Harry Potter universe. Looking forward to reading the second part. 😊

German version

Excellent choice of narrator. Story itself is an all time classic, great addition to any library.

Wunderbar

First German audiobook!

This was my first audiobook in German and it was so good! I really liked Felix von Manteuffels voice and I will definitely listen to the other books
