Publisher's Summary

"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'."

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!

Having now become classics of our time, the Harry Potter audiobooks never fail to bring comfort and escapism to listeners of all ages. With its 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.

Theme music composed by James Hannigan.

enjoyed my first audible book

narration was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even though I read the book before but listening with the best narrator makes the experience way much better. I am never going to forget about this book. Thanks Audible.

Brilliant 👌 👌 👌

I have read the books and watched the movies over and over again because I am such a huge fan. But the audiobook took the experience to an amazingly higher level. I never thought I could enjoy the HP series more. A big round of applause for Stephen Fry whose top notch recital performance of the book did wonders throughout! Now I am rushing to buy the rest of the six books as well. 🥳

Best series of all time! STEPHEN FRY’s narration is GOLD!

I came across Harry potter through the movies(like many of you) and was curious what the books had in stall for me. I was delighted b this world created by JK Rowling. The magical world she has created will make you wish you were a part of the wizarding world and not muggles(non magical folks). Once you start listening to this book, you will get hooked.

Narration by Stephen Fry is really good, you’ll be able to differentiate between different characters easily(such is his narration)He’s the best narrator on AUDIBLE. Period.

P.s. I have finished all 7 books.

The narration is on point!!

The series is great by itself, but Stephen's narration makes you want to listen to it again and again. ...

Amazing

Though the audiobook was good, but a female voice for the female characters would have been great.
