a midnight release party for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in New York on July 20th.
The party will take place at the Barnes & Noble Union Square and beginning at 10:30 pm Mr. Dale will discuss how he got the role of narrator, how he creates his characters’ voices and he will also read excerpts from the previous books.

He is sooooo lucky. I would absolutely love to be the person to do that. Maybe I will be able to do something like that some day.

It would be really neat to attend this party. He does such a great job on the book interpretations. I have both his and Stephen Fry's versions.

I am sucker for great voices, and though I live on the opposite coast, I would love to hear him talk about his experience doing all of the HP books, and what it's been like to know what's going to happen and not be able to tell a soul.

That's cool I guess. He's sort of like a fake celebrity. All he's done is read the books for tape. I bet the kids in New York are excited though.

I´d like to go! Unfortunately it´s too far away!
I have never listened to an Audiobook, as they are not available where I live.

An release event for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows too? That means more promotion and money and copies of the book!!

I think Jim Dale does a wonderful job narrating the books. His voices for the different charactors are the best!
