After years of my husband telling me that I must listen to Jim Dale’s reading of Harry Potter, I’m reading the books for the first time! I have watched the movies only once a while back, so so much of the story feels brand new to me. And this story and audiobook experience was so magical and delightful! I laughed out loud and rooted for our heroine wizards and witches Harry, Ron, and Hermione. I loved the magical settings, eclectic characters, and treats like Chocolate Frogs, Bertie Botts Every-flavor Beans, and Pumpkin Pasties. I really felt immersed in the scenes, cheering on my friends. It is truly magical how one book can captivate readers from all ages. I look forward to reading it to my kiddos one day (when they can handle that unicorn blood scene! The horror!). Overall, a lovely read and an A+ audiobook experience. Looking forward to the next, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!
