Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix audio book on CD
by J.K. Rowling. Unabridged. Read by Jim Dale.
The fifth story in the Harry Potter series on 23 compact discs (CDs).
"There is a door at the end of a silent corridor. And it's haunting harry Potter's dreams. Why else would he be waking in the middle of the night, screaming in terror?"
"Here are just a few things on Harry's mind:
- A Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poison honey
- A venomous, disgruntled house-elf
- Ron as keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team
- The looming terror of the end-of-term Ordinnary Wizarding Level exams
... and of course, the growing threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. In the richest installment yet of J. K. Rowlings' seven-part story, Harry Potter is faced with the unreliability of the very government of the magical worlds and the importance of the authorities at Hogwarts."
"Despite this (or perhaps because of it), he finds depth and strength in his friends, beyond what even he knew; boundless loyalty; and unbearable sacrifice."
"Though thick runs the plot, listeners will race through these CDs and leave Hogwarts, like Harry, wishing only for the next train back?
"Dales has an unerring sense of character and gives each person - or should it be each wizard? - a unique and splendid voice.... The only thing that would be better than reading a Potter book, at this point would be listenting to it." The Philadelphia Inquirer |
