Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Cassette Travel Bag is a complete and unabridged reading by Stephen Fry on six cassettes, contained in a travel box. A CD travel bag is also available.

Just when it seems that there cannot possibly be another twist to the Harry Potter tale, Stephen Fry dons his haughtiest and naughtiest tones to bring Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to vibrant life on audio. Harry Potter has spent the first 10 years of his life at the mercy of the dreadful Dursleys--the aunt, uncle and fat, spoilt brat of a cousin who reluctantly gave him a home after the death of his mother and father. But on his 11th birthday Harry discovers that he is no ordinary boy, and despite the best efforts of his hideous relatives he escapes to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to begin his new life as a trainee wizard. And the rest, as they say, is history...

As Harry battles against the evils thrown in his path, Stephen Fry injects the proceedings with a wry, dry and extremely contagious humour that perfectly suits the tale, wringing out the best in Harry and his cohorts as they get to grips with their new lives at the sharp end of Hogwarts. Fry's innate upper-class drone is perfectly suited to the telling of this most magical tale, cracking into the high-pitched squawking of Hermione the swat, or the gentle tones of the firm but fair Dumbledore, or the evil sniping of slimey Snape at precisely the right moments.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is a fine story and much has been written about its success, but until you have heard Fry's cracking reading of this most magical of stories then you simply haven't lived. As with any audio book, this one is perfect for car journeys and an ideal way of introducing reluctant readers to the magic that is Harry Potter. (Ages 9 and over) --Susan Harrison

Say you've spent the first 10 years of your life sleeping under the stairs of a family who loathes you. Then, in an absurd, magical twist of fate you find yourself surrounded by wizards, a caged snowy owl, a phoenix-feather wand and jellybeans that come in every flavour, including strawberry, curry, grass and sardine. Not only that, but you discover that you are a wizard yourself! This is exactly what happens to young Harry Potter in J K Rowling's enchanting, funny debut novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. In the non-magical human world--the world of "Muggles"--Harry is a nobody, treated like dirt by the aunt and uncle who begrudgingly inherited him when his parents were killed by the evil Voldemort. But in the world of wizards, small, skinny Harry is renowned as a survivor of the wizard who tried to kill him. He is left only with a lightning-bolt scar on his forehead, curiously refined sensibilities and a host of mysterious powers to remind him that he's quite, yes, altogether different from his aunt, uncle, and spoilt, pig-like cousin Dudley.

A mysterious letter, delivered by the friendly giant Hagrid, wrenches Harry from his dreary, Muggle-ridden existence: "We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry". Of course, Uncle Vernon yells most unpleasantly, "I AM NOT PAYING FOR SOME CRACKPOT OLD FOOL TO TEACH HIM MAGIC TRICKS!" Soon enough, however, Harry finds himself at Hogwarts with his owl Hedwig ... and that's where the real adventure--humorous, haunting, and suspenseful--begins.

This magical, gripping, brilliant book--a future classic to be sure--will leave children clamouring for a sequel. (Ages 8-13) --Karin Snelson -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verf�gbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Brillianz in Serie 6. Februar 2002

Von "frixmax"

Format:Audio CD

Harry Potter - das sind Romane, die mit einer Hingabe erdacht und aufgezeichnet wurden, welche man in der Literatur selten erlebt. Das Tüpfelchen setzt Stephen Fry der ganzen Sache auf. die Bücher von ihm vorgelesen sind nicht nur ein Hörgenuß und nebenbei auch eine hervorragende Englisch-Lernhilfe, sondern sie sind mit ebensolcher Hingabe vorgelesen wie sie geschrieben wurden.

Ich habe mir alle vier Teile auf Kassette besorgt und konnte teilweise nicht glauben, daß es sich nur um einen Sprecher handelt. S.F. bringt Sprach-Akzente ein, die fast schon wie Dialekte wirken, selbst weibliche Stimmen sind unverkennbar weiblich und entsprechen exakt meinen Vorstellungen über die zugrundeliegenden Charaktere.

Zugegeben, auch der Profi S.F. mußte sich in den ersten vier Kapiteln von Buch I erst einlesen! ...aber dann entfacht er ein Feuerwerk sprachlicher Brillianz, welches nahezu bespiellos und glücklicherweise in Serie gegangen ist.

Fry is the best 29. Mai 2005

Von "vaneyken2"

This review is dedicated to all books of HP I`ve listened to so far. For this I need one sentence: FRY IS THE BEST MAN FOR THIS JOB!!!! I do not say I do not lilke Rufus Beck, the German reader. But Stephen Fry, though known as a comedian actor, does his job more seriously in a way. While I was always able to laugh at Rufus Beck`s funny interpretation of voices and characters, Fry can make me believe his kind of interpretatoin MUCH more intensive. Every single character finds a home in his voice without being teezed, you can say. Rufus Beck`s interpretation sometimes seems a bit odd and stupid while Fry`s one NEVER!!!! My wish and suggestion for the future: Fry should NEVER stop reading HP - books!!!!!!!!

Best Reader 7. M�rz 2004

Von Tobin

There are some people out there, like my one friend, who don't care for that "gay british accent". I, however, quiet like it. I've listened to Potter-Books read by Jim Dale as well as by Rufus Beck, and eventhough I was quiet taken by both their performances, I like Fry's best. I do especially give him credit for being the only reader who doesn't give McGonogall and Hermione a hysteric touch and for leaving Dumbledore energetic, when both, Dale and Beck, make him sound like a wheezy old man. His Hagrid sounds almost exactly like Robbie Coltrane, who does a wonderful job in the movies.
Needless to say that the novel itself is one of the best I've read in the past years, as is the whole series. So if you like Audiobooks, this is one I can recommend.
