In the event that you've at any point attempted to purchase the Harry Potter book recordings, you most likely saw something sort of precarious: there are two altogether different variants. The adaptation most generally accessible in the U.S. is described by Jim Dale. The U.K. variant is perused by Stephen Fry.
Which is better? I won't get into that — that is something the web has been contending about for a decade+ now. I will say, nonetheless, that getting the Stephen Fry forms in the U.S. (legitimately) is generally a really large genuine annoyance. Various nations, distinctive dispersion rights, diverse permitting — whatever blah.
It got somewhat simpler today, though for simply the primary book: Audible has put the Stephen Fry adaptation of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" up on the web, for nothing, until further notification.
Summary:
The tale opens with a depiction of the Dursley group of number four, Privet Drive. Vernon Dursley, an overweight man with a shaggy mustache, fills in as the chief of a drill-production firm, while his better half, Petunia, is dainty and blonde and has a specific affinity for keeping an eye on the neighbors. Their child, Dudley, is oddly fat, even as a baby, and is excessively coddled by the two guardians. The Dursley family is impeccably substance to live typical and uninteresting lives. Truth be told, their biggest dread is that somebody will discover that one of their family members isn't totally typical and uninteresting: Petunia's sister, Lily Potter, is positively "unDursleyish," and, subsequently, Petunia has not addressed her in quite a long while.
One morning, the Dursley family starts the day much as some other: Vernon gets dressed for work, while Petunia takes care of Dudley and reveals to her better half about the most recent tattle from the neighbors. However, as Vernon leaves for work, he sees something peculiar: a feline perusing a guide. At the point when he investigates, in any case, the guide has evaporated, and the dark-striped feline is gazing back at him. Persuaded that he is envisioning things, Vernon proceeds with his drive to work. While halted in rush hour gridlock however, Vernon sees another peculiar thing: a few people in the road wearing splendidly hued shrouds. All things considered, he chooses to excuse the odd events and spotlight on the drill-production planned for the afternoon.
When Vernon leaves for his mid-day break, he is again disturbed to see various individuals wearing splendidly hued shrouds and processing together enthusiastically. As he cruises by, he catches some of them discussing "the Potters," and, in a snapshot of fear, he thinks about whether they may be discussing his unusual sister-in-law and her family. Despite the fact that he make an effort not to stress over it – all things considered, "Potter" is a typical name – Vernon spends the remainder of the day in a condition of interruption until 5pm, when he can return home to converse with Petunia about the bizarre goings-on of the day. At the point when he gets to his home, he is defied by a similar dark-striped feline as the morning, presently sitting on his nursery divider.
Petunia's day has been totally ordinary, and Vernon thinks about whether he ought to try and trouble educating her concerning the abnormal murmurs regarding "the Potters." It must have recently been an incident. Yet at the same time, the TV news report was brimming with abnormal events: showers of falling stars and several owls flying during the day. Vernon thinks about whether the notice of the Potters was a happenstance all things considered. As he precariously nods off, Vernon presumes that, regardless of whether those abnormal individuals in the shrouds were discussing his sister-in-law and her family, it would scarcely have any impact on his life.
A couple of moments before 12 PM, a tall, slim man named Albus Dumbledore abruptly shows up on the city intersection of Privet Drive. Utilizing a silver "Put-Outer," Dumbledore quickly puts out the entirety of the road lights until the road is totally dull and afterward sees the dark-striped feline, despite everything keeping watch on the corner. The feline changes into a serious looking lady with square glasses who Dumbledore alludes to as Professor McGonagall. Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall talk about the events of the day and the supposed vanishing of You-Know-Who, otherwise called Voldemort, a dim wizard who has been in power in Britain for as far back as eleven years.
The subject goes to the Potter family, and Dumbledore educates Professor McGonagall that Lily and James Potter are both dead, killed by Voldemort.
