I literally threw my book across the room. It was then that I knew no one was safe! But I still don't think I'm brave enough to listen to someone reading his death out loud. Nope, not me. .-= Katie´s last blog ..<a href="http://readwhatyouknow.wordpress.com/2010/01/28/good-enough/" rel="nofollow">review: “good enough”</a> =-.

We simply love Dale, and even the girls voices don't bother us. I absolutely love his voice for Trelawny and Umbridge...that "ahem" sound she makes, translated by his voice, cracks me up every time! We haven't come to Sirius' death yet...we'll see how that goes! .-= Sandy´s last blog ..<a href="http://sandynawrot.blogspot.com/2010/01/read-booksee-movie-fingersmith-sarah.html" rel="nofollow">Read the Book/See the Movie: Fingersmith - Sarah Waters (Kindle)</a> =-.

I'm still waiting for someone to give me an IPod. LOL The Harry Potter series is one I know I will want to listen to as I've heard such good things about Jim Dale's reading. I always tend to cry when major characters die. I think the only time I didn't in these books was in the final book. Everything happened so fast there was no time to grieve long. Although there were a couple of deaths that hit me hard, more than I expected. I don’t listen to audio books, but I’m sure at some point I will. I’m still waiting for someone to give me an IPod.

He has a lovely narrating voice.

He's one of my favorite characters, and he's kind of an outsider anyways, and now his one friend left in the universe is gone too. Sad! Also, I think Jim Dale does start reading Hermione as less whiney, and also she's written as less whiney as she grows up, so that's two factors working in a good direction. The "Harrrr-eeeeee!!" did start getting old in the first books, didn't it? .-= Fyrefly´s last blog ..<a href="http://fyreflybooks.wordpress.com/2010/01/29/mike-madrid-the-supergirls-fashion-feminism-fantasy-and-the-history-of-comic-book-heroines/" rel="nofollow">Mike Madrid – The Supergirls: Fashion, Feminism, Fantasy, and the History of Comic Book Heroines</a> =-.
