About this listen

Stephen Fry brings the richness of these magical stories to life in the original British recordings.

There it was, hanging in the sky above the school: the blazing green skull with a serpent tongue, the mark Death Eaters left behind whenever they had entered a building... wherever they had murdered...

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.

When Dumbledore arrives at Privet Drive one summer night to collect Harry Potter, his wand hand is blackened and shrivelled, but he does not reveal why. Secrets and suspicion are spreading through the wizarding world, and Hogwarts itself is not safe. Harry is convinced that Malfoy bears the Dark Mark: there is a Death Eater amongst them. Harry will need powerful magic and true friends as he explores Voldemort's darkest secrets, and Dumbledore prepares him to face his destiny...

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.

The Hunt Begins

It started with this book, which became the series of life time.

You will love it from the first sentence “The Boy who lived” till not just end of this book but till the end of the last chapter, last word of this series last book.

Alert: You will be spending 7 credit as soon as you hear the sample of this thats how brilliant it is.

Superb!!

The books are better than the movies. An Audio book is the best option for HP series. Captures all the details of the book and almost feels like watching a movie. All the credit goes to Stephen Fry for that.
