About this listen
Stephen Fry brings the richness of these magical stories to life in the original British recordings.
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'.
Treat your ears to a performance so rich and captivating you'll imagine yourself in the halls of Hogwarts. Wherever you listen, the unmistakable voice of Stephen Fry is guaranteed to guide you ever more deeply into this magical story and transport you to the heart of the adventure.
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!
Theme music composed by James Hannigan
Having become classics of our time, the Harry Potter stories never fail to bring comfort and escapism. With their 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.

Wonderful
An expressive and animated performance of a classic story. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. The characters were brought to life by Stephen Fry well worth a listen.

Amazing book brought to life by Fry
First there was the book, then the movie and then Fry. Stephen Fry's telling of the Harry Potter books is absolutely magical!

Loved the book, loved the Audiobook even more
Stephen Fry seemed to bring to life the story I had read years earlier and brings a magical touch to this story. I recommend any Harry Potter Fans to enjoy this audio book. British accent by S.F. brings life to this story. I look forward to the next 6 books by S.F.

J.K. Rowling and Stephen fry take a bow.
it's beautifully written and more spectacularly narrated. Such a blissful experience which takes you back to your childhood. The dramatic ups and downs and tonal quality of Mr Fry makes is a highly recommended listen. LOVED IT THANK YOU

A newmagical way to experience our Wizarding World
Amazing. This is the first ever audio book I have listened to and of course it had to be Harry Potter. It sure didn't disappoint, with Stephen Fry's perfect narration. I couldn't believe how perfect he imitated Robbie Coltrane's Hagrid.... absolutely speechless - you'd think Hagrid recorded himself right there and then next to Stephen! I better end my review here, I am itching to get started on Book 2. Thank you, Audible. Thank you, Pottermore.. But most of all, thank you J.K. Rowling.
