Harry Potter audio books read by Stephen Fry are absolutely great. Stephen Fry has the ability to personalize the different characters with his great reading, thus lifting all Harry Potter audio books read by him onto a higher league. Great listening.

While I adore all the Harry Potter books—mostly for the nostalgia and the fact that Stephen Fry narrates them like a wizard casting a spell over me—I have to admit that the first book isn’t my favorite. It’s like the intro to a grand adventure, a bit more childish, but it sets the stage for what’s to come. What I really love is how the series grows up with you, just like the Gryffindor gang. And let's talk about character growth—Draco Malfoy, anyone? This kid starts off as your typical spoiled brat, but by the end, he’s a complex, conflicted teen just trying to protect his family. That kind of development? Chef’s kiss. The way motivations and feelings are woven through the story is chef's kiss again, honestly. Some characters have arcs that’ll make you cheer, and others will leave you emotionally wrecked. Snape’s comments, while completely unhinged and borderline offensive, are often so ridiculously funny I can’t help but snort. And then there’s Umbridge... she’s the kind of character you love to hate (and laugh at how perfectly hateable she is). In short, this book series will make you laugh, cry, and think—and sometimes all at once.
