Yes, the H.P. story is very entertaining with its fantasy world, and Jim Dale's voice is pleasant; his impersonation of the voices of actors is superb. Now, the fact with the H.P. story is that it's not a simple fiction of entertainment. The Crowd is lost in the literal story and does not see the meaning it carries. The H.P. story is in fact historical fiction, and it covers a long range of history, past and present and even future. The real historical background of the H.P. story is related in the book of Christopher Knight/Alan Butler - "Solomon's Power Brokers." Another historical book that gives clues to who in fact those "Wizards" are is Christopher Knight/Robert Lomas - "The Second Messiah." The Four Houses of Hogwarts really exist; they are with us but hidden from public view - the only difference is that in reality women are not allowed to even set foot in them - these are ancient male-chauvinist organizations. Read the book of David Allen Rivera - "Final Warning" if you want to know more about the Big 4. The Harry Potter story is like the New Testament, where almost everything has double meaning - the obvious stories there carry a higher second meaning, but the Muggle Crowd ("The Living Dead," as the Jesus figure entitles them) don't see further than the folk-tale-like dramatized stories. I can't tell you Muggles here who the Wizards are and who are the Big 4 Houses of Hogwarts, because they are secret brotherhoods, who see everything (the Triangular Eye symbolizes this). The "Invisibility Cloak" also sybolizes this: they are here but we can't see them, but they do see us. In fact, they control our lives even now and they put their symbols and magic words in front of our eyes, but the Muggles "don't notice nothing" as it is said several times in the H.P. story. The invisibility cloak means the secrecy of the Orders. The Triangular Eye means that they are among us and see all. The Magic Wand is in fact science and technology, which is under the control of the Wizards. The Cruciatus Curse is the taser; the Dementor's Kiss is the brainchip, as it is described (its effects) by Prof. Lupin in the Azkaban episode. The resurrection stone is also science, which the Wizards will use to conquer death, to create an ageless body for themselves. But the Muggle crowd thinks all of this is fiction - however, it is not.

best book ever!

Very Good! Alll Hail J.K. Rowling !, Actor of the arts and hearts

As a part of the Harry Potter generation, I began the books at aged 7, and haven't stopped reading them since! Jim Dale has a voice like no other, and narrates the novels in a manner that truly transports you into the novel. (A real life Silvertongue, for those of you who've read Inkheart) The seventh book does not dissapoint, nor does Jim's performance. A must read... or listen...for audiences of all ages.

These books are so addicting. This book was the best one of the series. The reader gets so excited, it makes the book even better

I really like Jim Dale's voice and how he gives every character its own voice.

LOVE Harry Potter and friends....Book 7 was amazing! Loved the way it all panned out!

Doyle as reader is amazing!

great way to read a book! especially if you can't read on the bus.

Jim Dale is an amazing narrator of this series, and this final story in the septuplet is superb. For children who are not quite ready to read the challenging and daunting prose of Harry Potter, I highly recommend listening to the series. It is hugely entertaining, and every bit as valuable to building young vocabularies and, what's more, improving listening skills. It just doesn't get any better than this!
