It is embarrassing how long its been since I last read this book. As I've heard great things about the audio version of this book I decided to try it out & I must admit I am pleasantly surprise with how much I loved it.Jim Dale is the perfect reader & J.K. Rowling's writing comes magically to life with his narration. If reading Harry Potter for the first time is amazing, it is much better to reread them knowing what's going to happen in the future & how J. K Rowling foreshadows so many things. If possible my love for this series has grown & I recommend for all Harry Potter fans to listen to this books as well as read them.
