Hi Carol,

Trust me, Jim Dale is indeed British, but living in New York City. :-)

I finally had the chance to listen to the Stephen Fry books courtesy of a
friend and, over all, I found Jim's reading rhythm to be more for my taste.
I will admit there are some things Stephen did which I liked better,
especially the Dumbledore agony scene in HBP.  I didn't like Stephen's
Slughorn, though.  With Jim's interpretation, you could feel Horace's
fatness and merriment.  Jim also gives life to his readings with song in
certain places.

Really, it's a matter of taste, though there are some interesting diffs
between the Brit and US Versions.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
