Thanks to a deal with Pottermore, the Harry Potter Audiobooks will be available on UK, US, Australian and German Audible websites, produced by Pottermore and read by Jim Dale (North American), Felix von Manteuffel (German) and Stephen Fry UK and the rest of the world).
The first three audiobooks in the Harry Potter series cost £17.99 each and the last four cost £32.99 each, and sold on The Pottermore Shop.
According to The Bookseller, Chief content officer of Audible (Andy Gaies) said:
“We are thrilled to offer our customers the opportunity to enjoy the Harry Potter audio catalogue seamlessly through the Audible service. J K Rowling’s celebrated series is firmly entrenched in the literary pantheon, but when the first Harry Potter novel was released in 1997, smartphones were yet to become the ubiquitous listening devices they are today. Now fans of this bellwether series have an effortless and affordable way to enjoy them in audio.”
“The breathtaking performances of Stephen Fry, Jim Dale and Felix von Manteuffel transform Harry Potter’s adventures into immersive and truly transporting new experiences—even for those who have already read the novels. We look forward to bringing more listeners to this richly imagined universe.”
Today marks the 80th birthday of Jim Dale – narrator of the U.S. Harry Potter audiobooks, video games and interactive ‘extras’ in the DVDs.
Dale also appears in the Carry On films, Pete’s Dragon and has won various awards, including a Tony Award (for Barnum on Broadway), two Grammy Awards for narrating (in 2008 and 2001) and ten Audie Awards. He was honoured with an MBE in 2003 for promoting English literature for children.
Join us here at The Leaky Cauldron in wishing Jim a very happy 80th birthday!
