Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Summary
"Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'."
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!
Having now become classics of our time, the Harry Potter audiobooks never fail to bring comfort and escapism to listeners of all ages. With its 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.
Theme music composed by James Hannigan.

Sells its self as always
I've been a fan of Harry Potter for 20yrs and have read the books a couple of times, I originally downloaded this audio book from Pottermore because Audible didn't have the rights to sell them. I've bought them now through audible as they are alot easier to listen to, then trying to download mp3 files and stream to suitable devices.
This is now my second listen, having not listened to the book for a few years now. So much I've forgotten because the films just don't have enough detail. Stephen Fry is the only voice to me that can deliver the books in the series. He characterises each person individually and you have no doubt who is who, even if you pause the book and come back several days later.
I adore these books and will continue to listen to them for many years to come.

My first introduction to Potter
Would you consider the audio edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Book 1 to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the printed version but would imagine that Stephen Fry's magical narration adds to the story.
What other book might you compare Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Book 1 to, and why?
The Hobbit - as it's an introduction to a different world of alternative mythical creatures.
Which character – as performed by Stephen Fry – was your favourite?
Hermione - as he added a humorous twist to her fairly stoic character.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I think that's already been somewhat covered.
Any additional comments?

Great job by narrator
Any additional comments?
What a fantastic rendition to arguably one of the greatest fictional series of all time. Stephen Fry does a marvellous job; with fantastic switching between characters and dialogue to some pretty impressive impersonations. Narrating the Harry Potter series is no mean feat, something even Fry should be proud of achieving in his career.
I won't waste your time telling you this is an enchanted tale about a young wizard who goes to Hogwarts school to learn magic. All I will say is this: Stephen Fry and audible have done Rowling proud with a superb telling of a superb story. I'm off to listen to Chamber of Secrets now. Enjoy!

Perfectly Fryed Potter
If ever a series didn't need introducing it has to be J.K. Rowling's stunning Harry Potter! As soon as I saw this was available the only question on my mind was whether or not the narrator would do it justice. This is a big pair of reading glasses to fill!
Well, they only went and got Stephen Fry! He is superb! His voice fits Rowling's work to a tee and the story unfolds through his quintessential English being delivered with huge aplomb. Of course we do all know that this series grew in stature and maturity with its audience. There are tougher, longer books ahead of this one that have more of a cutting edge to them. So can he keep it up? Well based on this first volume there is little doubt in my mind that he will!
Potter fans can rest assured that this audiobook does Rowling's work full justice!
See you in Hogwarts!

Magical!
I've never got to the Harry Potter books. I love the movies and the games, however I have never actually read the books. Therefore, I decided, that my first audiobook from Audible will be Phillosopher's Stone. It was captivating from start to finish, making my eyes literally water with some kind of nostalgia at some places. I don't think anyone else would have narrated it better than Stephen Fry. His amazing voice brings every character to life and creates an exquisite atmosphere throughout the whole story. Now I can't wait to buy the rest of the HP audiobooks!

The Harry Potter Series
Would you listen to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Book 1 again? Why?
I would listen to this book again in fact I would listen to any of the Potter books again because I can always learn something different every time I read them.
What other book might you compare Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Book 1 to and why?
Harry Potter has ideas expressed in other books but this is something different. I can relate to this world in many ways an orphan not loved by his guardians not told anything about where he comes from hears it from a completed e stranger goes to a magical school discovers his enemy is not actually d
Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite scene is when Hagrid gives Dudly a pig tail it is just so funny.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The moment which moves me is when Dumbledore says this. To the well organized mind, death is just another adventure.
Any additional comments?
Don't try to compare Stephen Fry's readings with Jim Dale there are 2 different styles both of which blend themselves with the uniqueness of this series.

great narrator, whispering noisy audio compression
The narrator and the story are great, but...
I bought the original audio cd and audible version, too. Audible's voice has a small whispering background noise, the cd version is much more cleaner.
I tested a one minute long track on cd and the mp3 compressed version is perfectly clear with my phone, better than this audiobook.
Dear Audible, please use a better quality of audio compression, this is one of my favourite book.
I know you can do it because your other books are more cleaner than this one.
Thank you
