Deathly Hallows audio book breaks records
 

With 225,000 copies sold in the weekend, the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows audio book broke all records like their hardcover selves as the biggest and fastest sales in audio history!

Jim Dale, the narrator for the U.S. audio tapes, on Potter:
You can also hear a snippet of Dale reading Chapter 1 HERE if you don't mind spoilers.

And you can listen to a SPOILER-FREE message from Dale to listeners right HERE where he addresses fans very briefly on his experience and encourages fans to purchase the book/audio tape for their collection!

The U.S. and U.K. audiotapes were released along with the books on July 21, 2007.

I've never bought the audiobooks... I think I might get them though.
That little snippet sounded cool.

Ooh. Breaking records as they go.

Wow, they must be very impressive. It sounds impressive.

I've never bought the audio books, I myself prefer to read. But it's cool for his children though. It's a nice accomplishment.

Wow that's very cool, selling that many audiobooks
though I onnly bought the first three,
I might go out and buy the other four!!!

I never bought one but I'm getting really tempted to do that :D

this book has broken almost every record out there!!!

Nothing about this book surprises me anymore.

I never bought an audio book.
The HP series is just great! :)

We have Stephen Fry for our Audio Books. He gets the accents wrong (since when has Tonks been from Lancashire? :lol:), but anyways, GO DH! It's reign of best-selling-ness continue-eth!

Thats great... My mother is planning to buy one for herself... Yeah shes lazy to read 800 pages haha.

I've never actually listened to the audio books. I would love to though, since I have loved Jim Dale way before I knew he did the recordings!

(I met him at the stage door after I saw him in The Threepenny Opera. He's so nice!)

ive never bought the audio books, but im not suprised!!

Well, that's great!

That's great
