Finally, a question I can answer.  Yes, Jim Dale reads HBP.  The
audio CDs and tapes were released in the US the same day as the
book.  The audio version read by Stephen Fry will be released
August 22nd.

I enjoy the audio versions a lot - I have the Jim Dale (American
versions), the Stephen Fry (British versions), and Rufus Beck
(German).  [German and British audio versions of HBP haven't
been released yet.]  There are some characters I think each one of
them does better than the others and there are some characters I
really don't like from each.  I think Dale's Kreachur is the best of
the three, but Beck's Rita Skeeter (Kimmkorn) is extremely
annoying to me.
