Wonderful night time listening! - By: , 02 May 2003 
J.K Rowling not only astounds us with another great instalmentin the Harry Potter saga, but Stephen Fry mesmorises us with his fabulous reading, again! Fry is the perfect narrator to this wonderful audio cassette. He brings the charcters to life, & turns the story into a living dream! He even manages to scare you with the "headless voice" (embaressing to admit, but its true). Though i did not enjoy the book as much as the others, this audio cassette is absoloutly fantastic, & i go to sleep listening to it many a night! An absoloutly worthwhile investment, especially if you haven't the patience to keep reading the books!

Better than the film - By: Stephen Hill, 03 Dec 2002 
Stephen Fry is superbin the way he brings Harry & co to lifein this unabridged reading. It is long with 6 cassettes, but it moves along at a good pace.
The way Fry plays Lockhart is the best part of the reading. He captures the right voice & tone for this character, much better than Kenneth Branaghin the movie, although to be fair Branagh is not given all the lines. This is the book as written by J K Rowling, every last word.
I would highly recommend this, especially if you have children & are faced by long car journeys.
Excellent. Very enjoyable, particularly as it's unabridged. - By: PW, 13 Feb 2002 I loved the Harry Potter books & therefore wanted to buy the cassettes. When I found out that they weren't full-cast dramatisations I had a few misgivings. I didn't think one person would be able to do the book justice. I was wrong - Stephen Fry is excellent & each character has a distinctive voice (Hagrid's is especially good). Although it is long, it definitely does not drag on. I would recommend it to anyone - children will find it enthralling as will adults. It's also great to have onin the background or on a long journey. Hope this is helpful!!
Enjoyable for all ages - By: julia@classicbadges.com, 22 May 2001 I love Stephen Fry's reading of this book. Although it is typically recommended for 9 years & up, my daughter, who is just five, is already hooked. Fry's clear reading makes the story easy to follow even for younger listeners.
