The narrator’s effusive style is distracting.
I imagine that if I were a french-speaking teenager, I’d find the narration exciting to listen to. Monsieur Giraudeau does distinctive voices for each character, and reads with much drama. But as a learner, I found this distracting.

The narrator drove me nuts
What didn’t you like about Bernard Giraudeau’s performance?
First: he narrated wayyy too quickly. Second: I found myself adjusting the volume on my headphones far too often as he would go on long stretches of yelling (i.e., voicing Uncle Vernon) and whispering (i.e., voicing Peeves). Third: there were some painfully high-pitched female voices.

Horrible Narrator
Am trying to learn Italian and French so was excited when the Harry Potter series came out in those languages. Unfortunately the narrator mangled the voices of almost every character to make their narration not only unintelligible, but occasionally downright painful. Yes, painful, stomach-churning pain trying to figure out who was talking and what was being said. The narrator was amazing when he wasn't doing the Dursleys or Hagrid -- I appreciated his effort in changing the tone and accent in order to portray the vast array of characters in the book, but it became overdone and over-the-top

Overall good, but a bit mumbly
The audio and the e-book differ every so slightly, which is annoying to follow a second language learner of French. The speed of narration is fast for me as a non-native speaker, but that's fine.
Overall, the acting is pretty good, but some of the characters he reads with a mumbled. bored, nasal voice which is unbelievably hard to understand. Ron and Neville come to mind, maybe Malfoy. I didn't feel like that added anything to the story.

Very Difficult To Understand
So context, I am a fourth year university student (in Canada) taking French. I am fluent in French and fairly confident with my command of the language. That being said, I had a VERY difficult time understanding the narrator... Perhaps because I am not an native French speaker, but even with slowing down the narration I had such a difficult time understanding the voices. They seem mumbled, they seem too nasal and it causes me a lot of difficulty with this book.
I am hoping once I spend a little more time immersed in the French language I will be better equipped to understand that narration, but as someone who exclusively operates in the French language academically... I am not sure that that will happen any time soon.
Review:
As a native speaker, you will enjoy this book
As a language learner, you will probably have difficulty with this book
TIP: if you listen to this while reading a physical copy of the book, you will be able to better understand the narration.

Love Harry Potter, Not a Fan of the Narration
I absolutely love the Harry Potter series. But the narration voices that are used are hard to understand and do not do the actual characters justice. Dumbledore sounded like he was about to drop dead and Hagrid sounded terrible.

Fantastic book. Big challenge.
Well, it was a delight to listen to this book, it was also a big challenge. Harry Potter is the kind of book I will always read/listen no matter in what language I pick up. In this case, I choose french as an oportunity to pratice the language, but was very hard, I need to say. The narrative is faster than I was used to, and and sometimes was almost impossible to understand, as Hagrid for example. Was an exercise to come back again and again until I thought I got the meaning. After some chapters, I do not know if the narrative was slower if I got used to the pronunciation, but it was a easier to identify the text, but even so it was hard. I think so, It is almost an exercise in resistance. If you stop, you will never know what you are capable of.

Narrator too intrusive
I try to read/listen to as much as I can in French in order to improve my language skills. I love these stories in English (brilliantly read by Stephen Fry) but this narrator is more concerned with demonstrating his acting skills than observing the intention of the author. I can't bear to listen to this or the others he has narrated and will have to delete them. A waste of money!

Terrible Reading
Given the high standard of presentation normally required for Harry Potter works - films, English audiobooks etc. - I was surprised to find that this was terrible. The narrator has no feeling for the work or the characters, and the text has been edited compared to the paperback edition, but most of all, he reads at such a ridiculous speed. I can’t believe that anyone in any language can enjoyably absorb a story at such a break-neck pace. I play it at x0.75, and then I can follow it without difficulty.

Douloureux à finir à cause du narrateur
Would you try another book written by J.K. Rowling or narrated by Bernard Giraudeau?
J'ai la collection complète des HP en anglais, et par pure curiosité (et nostalgie) j'ai voulu tester la version française. Ça m'aura rappelé des souvenirs de quand je les lisais quand j'étais môme mais par contre le narrateur nous vend mal, très mal son affaire. Entre Ron qui a une perruque entière sur la langue, Hagrid qu'on comprend pas, et pire que tout, des bouts de phrases qui ne font pas partie du dialogue qui sont lus comme si c'était tel ou tel personnage qui les disaient. Bref... Là où je plombe le premier livre en 2 ou 3 séances dans la version de Stephen Fry, là ça m'aura pris plus d'un mois et demi...
What three words best describe Bernard Giraudeau’s voice?
Très. Mauvais. Choix.

How to butcher a great book?
I love Harry Potter books. Love them in Hungarian, love them in English and I am pretty much sure I'd love them in French as well. But the reader kills the whole book. I was always sceptical when someone wrote that the narrator ruins the book for them. Well thats exactly what Bernard Giraudeau do: not only makes all the character sound super dumb and irritating but also make voices that make absolutely no sense. Additionally I can only follow the story because I nearly know it by heart, because some parts of the book are just lost in narration.
An other very sad thing: the narrator assaulted the French language as well. I am really sad that I purchased this piece. It is deeply terrible.

Awful narrator
Apparently, the guy who narrated this is now dead.
I read some of the reviews that slated the narration, and I should have heeded their warnings!
It’s dreadful and embarrassing to listen to. I also bought the German version, which is great, btw!
I’m going to have to send this back as I can’t take anymore of the over acting and total lack of sensitivity to the original.
I’m using these books to improve my foreign language skills.....
His idea of how the characters sound is so unconvincing and almost offensive! Unbearable.
Please get these books re read by someone who knows what they are doing!
Ps I only gave 3 stars for the story as I don’t like the way the French translation felt the had to change names, etc.

Very disappointing. Unbearable to listen to!
I wanted to practise my French by listening to a story I know word for word in English but the narrator has made it impossible to discern half of the words by making Aunt Petunia unbearably shrill to the point that it hurts to hear and it wakes me up at night and Hagrid and Dudley slur their words as if they are drunk. There is also too much variation in the level of sound of the speaking which is very annoying as you have to keep turning it up or down depending on which characters are in the chapter. It is just very disappointing as this is one of my favourite stories.

Très déçu
Le narrateur lis le livre plutôt que de le narrer. La magie de l'histoire est perdue parmis les distractions qu'apporte la narration:
- Lecture sans âme. Pause dans les phrases dans des moments douteux
- Voix des personnages est la voix du narrateur avec une petite variation de tonalité de ci de là.
- La voix des personnages est parfois utilisée pour des passages de narrateur
- La voie d'un personnage est parfois utilisé pour plusieurs personnes dans le même dialogue (example: Mc Gonagall à parlé avec la voie d'Hermione)
- Ron a un cheveux sur la langue!?!?
- Hagrid sonne comme si parler était en soit une tâche cérébrale difficile
- Les chansons sont récitées en suivant un rythme et air extremement proche du petit chant du répondeur Telephonique dans le film Le Diner de Con
- Le niveau sonore est très variés. Souvent besoin d'ajuster car ça devient trop fort ou trop silencieux
Une énorme deception comparé a la version Anglaise de Stephen Fry!
