Jim Dale, the best thing since Quidditch!

Been listening to nothing but Harry Potter audio books at work for the past two weeks, so I'm a little bit on a high right now from hearing the talented Jim Dale pwn all other narrators with his movie-like speed in telling these awesome stories!  If you've never had a chance to listen to him read the stories, pick up the audio books and listen!  It's like listening to a movie, I promise.  Pretty sure if you Youtube his name and the book you want to listen to, you should at least find some samples.  If the stories about JKR writing another novel of the series is true, then he totally needs to narrate it.

It's pretty sad that one man can act out an entire book better than a whole cast of actors acting out the movie.  No joke!

Oh well...


Originally began as just a guy sitting on some grass....
then Hermione gate-crashed the drawing with her book.

Why Hedwig is so cold to Pigwidgeon.  Ron needs to invest in some riddlin.

  1. Jim also does the "Peter and the Starcatchers" series. It's a re-telling of Peter Pan that's very entertaining. Love the "Gatecrasher" sketch!
