Given that I’ve listened to all three of the full-cast audio productions in the last month and have active plans to enjoy the rest as they’re published this year, I greatly enjoyed this. If you’ve been intrigued by the reviews, it may give you some idea of the vocal talent at work. I haven’t heard any of the ‘older’ actors yet — the children change actors beginning in book 4 — so it was fun to hear a preview of them — and to SEE these voices in my head. I knew Mark Addy’s voice was familiar, but I’d rather thought it was because he was trying to stick so close to Robbie Coltrane — not that I’d known him from Still Standing. (Also, Hugh Laurie looks distressingly old. I always imagine him as Bertie Wooster, never Dr. House…..and now he can do a very good Dumbledore. I actually like him more than Richard Harris or Gambon, to be frank.) If nothing else, click here to experience Kit Harrington as Gilderoy Lockhart. He was such fun to listen to.
