My two cents: If Jim Dale was given an award for ANYTHING to do with his
ghastly readings of the HP books, it just shows how poor the competition is
in childrens' audio. Unless, of course, we're talking Darwin Awards here --
in which case I wholeheartedly support him for any category he's going
for...

As I've stated onlist before, I can't stand his butchery of the mental
voices I created. OTOH, I really like the Stephen Fry versions. Go figure ;)
