Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is. ThatS because heS being raised by his miserable aunt and uncle who are terrified Harry will learn that heS really a wizard, just as his parents were. But everything changes when Harry is summoned to attend an infamous school for wizards, and he begins to discover some clues about his illustrious birthright. From the surprising way he is greeted by a lovable giant, to the unique curriculum and colorful faculty at his unusual school, Harry finds himself drawn deep inside a mystical world he never knew existed and closer to his own noble destiny.


The amazing popularity of Harry Potter and the SorcererS Stone means that now even Muggles know about the Leaky Cauldron, Diagon Alley, and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Whether or not you"ve read about Harry, this unabridged audiobook brings his world to life. Reader Jim Dale brings an excellent range of voices to the characters, from well-meaning HermioneS soft, earnest voice to MalfoyS nasal droning from Professor McGonagallS crisp brogue to HagridS broad Somerset accent and from snarling Mr. Filch to p-p-poor, st-tuttering P-Professor Quirrel. Some of the characterizations are peculiar--why do the centaurs have Welsh accents?--but thatS a small price to pay to hear one of the myriad ways to sing the Hogwarts School song. Harry Potter fans of all ages--Muggle or not--will enjoy curling up with a few chocolate frogs, a box of Bertie BottS Every Flavor Beans ("Alas! Ear wax!"), and this marvelous, magical audiobook.
