This agreement held over into the Audible versions available via Pottermore. It used to be that you couldn’t buy the Fry recordings in the United States because Bloomsbury did not have publishing rights here, Scholastic did (and does), and Scholastic published the Jim Dale recordings. The site you refer to is akin to the website, the first thing to pop up in a google search for ‘Harry Potter Stephen Fry.’ It offers you the audiobooks read by Fry for free - in exchange for access to your computer’s inner workings and all your data. Great question, Kathleen, and one I really wish I had an easy answer to. Thought I would ask the guru of all things Harry Potter! Thank you! My local library doesn’t have it.ĭo you have a suggestion for a reliable site and a reasonable price? An unpleasant experience and scary to boot. I clicked on a website about buying a set and it took me to an obvious dark web site that started downloading something on my computer and flashing multiple popups of porn content. I wanted to also listen to the English version read by Stephen Fry. So it's not a big surprise that in his weekly "Dork Talk” column in The Guardian Stephen Fry admits to being fascinated with the approach Nintendo took for its seventh generation of home and handheld gaming devices.My husband and I listen routinely to Jim Dale’s reading of the HP series. Being a self proclaimed gadget geek, Stephen Fry claims to possess the second Mac ever to have been sold in UK (after Douglas Adams bought the first!) and that he has never encountered a smartphone he didn't buy. In 2008 Fry took the role of narrator in LittleBigPlanet and a vain mayor of Blackstone in Fable II.Īlthough he admits that video gaming was never very high on his priorities list (even though Stephen rarely leaves home without a Nintendo DS and has a Second Life account), he's still well aware of all the technological advances made in the fields.


Rowling herself has said that she was really pleased with the work Stephen Fry has done. That was not a coincidental choice for he is also the one reading all of the successful series of books on tape for the audiobook version. He contributed to the world of video games by narrating the series of Harry Potter games. During the course of his long and fruitful carrier he tried himself in many various fields, so he is often regarded to be a polymath. Stephen Fry, born August 24 1957, is an English writer, actor, director, TV presenter and column publicist and a proud Oscar Wilde enthusiast.
