I have recently came across another audiobook of Harry Potter besides the ever popular Jim Dale - Stephen Fry.
I have so far listened to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (UK title - US release was Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone) and to the middle of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
I have come to a few conclusions:
CONS
1. Stephen Fry's Vocal Range is not as wide or broad as Jim Dale's voice in his readings.
2. His "Harry Potter", "Ron Weasley" voices do not stay consistent during the reading - at one point child like, at others adult like.
PROS
1. His reading is more dramatic than Jim Dales overall, with more emphasis and flair. Don't know if it's better or worse than Jim Dale's yet.
