There is no shortage of Harry Potter material in the world. There's the highly-anticipated upcoming Harry Potter series, the original franchise films you can stream with an HBO Max subscription, the Universal theme park attractions, the beloved Jim Dale and Stephen Fry audiobook recordings, magical stores and more. I personally have been a fan of Jim Dale’s Harry Potter audiobooks since they started releasing more than 25 years ago. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to these books over the years. I often fall asleep with headphones on, listening to his soothing voice as he reads one of the franchise’s many iconic lines.
So when Audible announced a full-cast recording of these beloved audiobooks, I was skeptical. In general, they’ve exceeded my expectations so far, and I’m a fan of their interpretation of the first book. There’s just one bit that keeps taking me out of the experience to the point I need to complain about it: the actors’ frequent, inarticulate vocalizations.
