“The original audiobook narrations are cherished versions of these incredible stories, so we took great care when remastering them from CD to deliver the best sound quality and experience possible for the new generation of listeners. Jennie McCann, managing director of Pottermore Publishing, said: “It continues to astound and delight us that listeners of all kinds have made a permanent place in their lives for these audio stories.
In 2015 Pottermore remastered the original English and German audio recordings of the books, and these were released on Audible that December. The books were adapted into an eight-part film series by Warner Bros Pictures starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. The first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, was published in 1997, with the seventh and final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, published in 2007. “Especially rewarding for me has been the opportunity to touch the lives of so many young people, and the knowledge that my spoken words have brought both comfort and support when needed and, of course, always so much magic.” “Hurrah for Harry and hurrah for all those listeners.”ĭale added: “Living with the ever-expanding Harry Potter family over these past twenty years has been such a joy. “From the first book, when it was all there was of Harry Potter in the world, to the final novel when the series had confirmed itself as the publishing phenomenon of our age, the experience was never anything other than a total and eternally surprising joy for me.
Almost every day someone will come up and tell me how important the audiobooks have been in their lives, and it means the world to me.
The publishing house has said that in one billion hours you could listen to Harry Potter books one to seven read by Dale 8,547,009 times, or hypothetically go through Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry more than 14,000 times.įry said: “These statistics are astonishing.
