For the US audience I would suggest go with Dale. Some people can find Stephen Fry a dry and nasally, and some people can find Jim Dale a little over the top. His prestige, and breadth of bestseller coverage is rather astonishing. This series has given Dale more awards than any narrator previous. This increased dramatization, although predominantly great, I feel it is sometimes a little over the top.ĭale is magician in character range he created 134 voices for the Harry Potter series. Dale invites a sense of urgency in his voice, and has you on your toes. Dale is a voice artist, and definitely weighted towards to the dramatized end of the scale. Born in England, Dale also has an English accent. I highly recommend this audiobook for all ages. Even though Harry Potter is J K Rowlings first book and her prose may be flawed in places, (particularly in the beginning describing life with the Dursleys) Harry Potter is undoubtedly a classic made even more magical by Stephen Fry. Having Fry read such a lovely story to you makes it all the more comforting and enjoyable. The story wraps you in a warm cloak of positive feelings, happiness and a sense of belonging. Hermione sounds incredibly precocious and annoying but gradually becomes less so as the book progresses. His voice for Hagrid is low, gruff and gentle, just what you would expect. Stephen Fry makes the characters even more vivid. Please find our overview below and and a side by side video for comparison. There are two versions of the Chamber of Secrets, one narrated by Stephen Fry, and the other Jim Dale. Dobby is a wonderful addition and voiced extremely well by Stephen Fry. The magic in this book certainly takes a darker turn and we start to learn a lot more about Hogwarts, Voldemort and Harry himself. If you haven’t read the books ( or have seen the movie and want a bit more insight into the mystery) then this audiobook is a thoroughly enjoyable mystery, with a fair bit of Quidditch thrown in.Īpart from characters introduced in the first book we have a one addition of note.ĭobby was a male house-elf who served the Malfoy family. His masters were Dark Wizards who treated him cruelly. I’ve since gotten over that, but it’s still downright creepy. ![]() Bearing in mind I was five when I listened to it- every time Stephen Fry did the scary disembodied voice Harry kept hearing, I actually fast forwarded the tape or turned the volume down because it scared me so much. Also, apart from the Goblet of Fire, this is probably the scariest book in the series. The final chapters are just so intense because of this. I really loved the sequence of events that led Harry and Ron finally figuring out the secret of Salazaar Slytherin. I love a good mystery and the Chamber of Secrets was my first real introduction to this genre. This has always been my favourite Harry Potter audiobook of the series (closely followed by the Goblet of Fire). Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Audiobook Review: Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects… Harry Potter himself. For in Harry’s second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls’ bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley’s younger sister, Ginny.īut each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone–or something–starts turning Hogwarts students to stone.
