Story
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!

Story
Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek God. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That's when things started really going wrong. Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends, and generally trying to stay alive. This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea.

Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

"'Give me Harry Potter,' said Voldemort's voice, 'and none shall be harmed. Give me Harry Potter, and I shall leave the school untouched. Give me Harry Potter, and you will be rewarded.'"
As he climbs into the sidecar of Hagrid's motorbike and takes to the skies, leaving Privet Drive for the last time, Harry Potter knows that Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters are not far behind. The protective charm that has kept Harry safe until now is broken, but he cannot keep hiding. The Dark Lord is breathing fear into everything Harry loves and to stop him Harry will have to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes. The final battle must begin - Harry must stand and face his enemy....
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.

Oh Boy!
I love this book so much, there's so much going on in it, so much to learn and digest. The darkness that started a few books ago really comes to the fore in this, not just to do with Voldemort but internal mental darkness. The characters all do so much growing up in this book. I could go on and on but I won't, always....

Hallowed Be Thy Name Harry Potter!
This book marks the end of a long journey for anyone who has followed Harry, Ron, Hermione and the others through their school years at Hogwarts. During this journey there have been magical moments of high drama, genuine warmth and of course no little humour. As the books have progressed however it’s become more real, more edgy and increasingly tense. The challenge for JK Rowling with the Deathly Hallows was whether she could tie it all up and give this impressive series a satisfying conclusion.
Well, to cut what is a long story short she did just that. For anyone that doesn’t know the stories I’ll include no real spoilers but this is a story of its own with twists, turns and mysteries to be solved. Rowling has Harry and the reader questioning the motives and natures of many of the characters and much is kept hanging until very near the end. Her patience in building the back story over the previous books brings rich rewards in terms of several eyebrow raising moments. Highlights for me include the climactic battle including the way in which it is resolved and blessedly redemption for my favourite character in all of the books. The author spends a long time developing the story and this is a bleaker book than the ones that have gone before but no less satisfying for all that. This is, after all, the wizarding world at war, casualties had to be expected!
Stephen Fry brings it all to our ears with consummate professionalism and genuine empathy meaning that I can happily say goodbye to the Potter stories content that I’ve now completed one of modern literature’s great adventures.

Great conclusion to the series wonderfully performed by Stephen Fry. The narration, characterisation and pacing were excellent and really brought the story alive. I've read all seven of the Potter books but this audio version really added something extra - I noticed things I hadn't seen when reading. A definite plus factor in the performance.

The final part
This final episode of the Harry Potter series sees Harry leave school. The story cleverly links through elements of the previous stories. Listening to this audiobook takes hold of your imagination - much better than seeing the films - more detail - greater suspense and more vivid characters. - Great.

Great book and Stephen Fry is excellent.
A great book to read, but even better with Stephen Fry reading it. He puts so much performance into it with different voices and creates atmosphere.

Sadness.
The first half of this book might be my least favourite, the sense of frustration and despair is passed almost too well to the reader. The second half is one of my favourites, so satisfying to see love beat hate and everything fall into place. Stephen Fry is masterful as the narrator. I'm sad my journey with Harry has ended, but this isn't the first time and it will certainly not be the last.

Fantastic
There are not enough words to describe how amazing this audible book is. Stephen Fry is absolutely phenomenal at bringing every single character to life. Sometimes you forget you're listening to one man reading to you. The heart and soul he has put into this is much appreciated because Harry Potter is a series that deserves such care and attention to detail. The marriage of an extraordinarily gifted person to speak the words of a legendary author is just magic (pardon the pun).

One of my best reads ever..
Stephen Fry would be one of the best narrators available and brings to life each and every character. These books although apparently aimed at the younger audience are equally ,if not more so, enjoyable by a more mature audience. A fantastic read that in one moment can almost bring you to tears and yet soon after have you giggling with laughter. Could not recommend thiese books highly enough.

I do not support jk.Rowling but Stephen fry honestly makes these books better.
So I have no idea how to start a review. So yeah. I do not support JK.Rowling as she is transphobic. Some other actors in the books/movies are transphobic but I don’t support them either. Now the way JK writes is absolutely fantastic! But she has only made straight couples, and no gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender/pan sexual and etc. If she did the books and movies would be better. But that’s how JK is. On the other hand Stephens expression is amazing. It absolutely baffles me how a man can not mess up a audio book like that!

Stephen Fry brings it to life
With JK Rowling's wonderfully written and completely immersive world paired with Stephen Fry's command of accents and voices you can't help but fall into this series completely!
