House which has samples of the Audio Books for each of
the Harry Potter books.

A lot of people have spoken very positively about Jim
Dale's reading of the book, but I found his cadence, 
inflection, or rythm to be a bit off, especially on his
dialog.

I mean, he does a good job, he has a clear voice, but
his dialog just doesn't quite seem to fit the mood.

So, I'm wondering if there are any audio samples of 
Stephen Fry on the Internet anywhere, so I can 
compare them. I did look on the website of the UK
publisher and also Amazon.ca, but couldn't find any.

I think it might give the books a nice flavor for them
to be read by a British person.

Also, does anyone know if UK Audio CD's will play on 
USA audio equipment? 

Just curious.
