I have all 4 books on cd (the Jim Dale versions) and have enjoyed 
them very much on long car journeys.  However, I was curious about 
the S. Fry versions so I ordered PS from Amazon.com.uk and became an 
instant convert.  I was always a little bothered by Dale's over-the-
top characterizations, particularly by the way he had Hermione say 
Harry's name (Haaaarrrrry).  The Fry version is much drier and IMO 
funnier.  I somehow imagine his interpretations to be much closer to 
JKR's vision, and more truly British.  I'd love to get the rest of 
the Fry/UK cds, but for some reason they are much pricier than the 
American versions, even before the shipping charges.  I've been 
hoping they'll show up on ebay sometime.
