Rowling created continues to captivate the reader/listener. Story: The characters continue to develop, the story continues to unfold and the world that J.K. Of all the trees, we get one that hits back! but he is 13 now and he wants to keep going!!! He handled the deaths very well and understands the structure and plot wonderfully! My son LOVES to read amazing literature now, goodbye stick dog and bad kitty!!! He doesn't even remember when just 2 years ago he refused to pick up a 'big chapter book!'. I allowed him to take it slow bc I wasnt sure how he'd like the dark stuff and the deaths of beloved characters. His brother and sister are getting anxious for him to finish the series so for the summer are plowing through. He did the audio first and then reread them over and over on his own for 2 years, we've lost count but I think he read the first 3 about a ten times each, the 4th he read twice with audio and once silently. Hooked on Jim Dale, hooked on Potter, and hooked on to Literature!!!! His fear of a big book is completely gone!!! besides rereading Harry Potter, he has read 11 great books last school and has read 4 this summer (Deathly Hallows will be the 5th).

And my son who just turned 13, is hooked. and omg!!! I'm soo thankful for Jim Dale!!! his talent stretches beyond anything you can imagine. Being we are huge Harry potter fans in the house, and he loves the first 3 movies (we never watched the rest in front of him, too young and spoilers since he hadn't read them yet) I gave this a shot. That is until I tried the audio books for Harry Potter. I couldn't get him to read anything beyond easy read chapter books, or even listen to me read, without him panicking. Jim Dale brings JK Rowling's amazing series to life! This is absolutely amazing!!! I've read the entire series, and my two.oldest read the eitnre series, but my youngest, even at 11 years, even though I've read to him his whole life and he LOVES reading at bedtime, was extremely intimated by 'big chapter books'.
