[HPFGU-OTChatter] Question about Harry Potter audio

[Judi Eathorne-Gould]

We made the mistake of borrowing from the library Jim Dale's version 
of POA and the kids all hated it. They had got so used to the way 
Stephen Fry prounced names etc that they could not stand Dale's 
version. Stephen Fry is great.
