Publisher's Summary

Stephen Fry brings the richness of these magical stories to life in the original British recordings.

'Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. Just stick out your wand hand, step on board and we can take you anywhere you want to go.'

Treat your ears to a performance so rich and captivating you'll imagine yourself in the halls of Hogwarts. Wherever you listen, the unmistakable voice of Stephen Fry is guaranteed to guide you ever more deeply into this magical story and transport you to the heart of the adventure.

When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves... But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss...

Theme music composed by James Hannigan

Having become classics of our time, the Harry Potter stories never fail to bring comfort and escapism. With their message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new listeners.

Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban written by J.K. Rowling and read by Stephen Fry

Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban is the best book in the whole series of Harry Potter

I recommend this book to every single person in the world.
It has a lot of action, suspension, curiosity and all sorts of magical creatures that you could never dream of. This is the best book I highly recommend this book. Harry is endangered by a murder on the lose and there are all sorts of support and defences to try and keep him safe from the danger that awaits Harry and his friends Ron and Hermony

Narrator and story are a match made in heaven

Stephen Fry is a god. He is the absolute perfect choice to be the narrator. His multiple voices are appropriate and consistent. Just a marvellous choice.

J.K Rowling + Stephen Fry = Perfection

Everyone knows the Harry Potter books - its a great story, well written and engaging. Stephen Fry just adds a whole other dimension though when he narrates. He does different voices (and sticks to them throughout) for all the Characters and does an exceptional job. I almost wanted to start all over and listen to them again! My favourite of the lot!
