| | |  Deathly Hallows audiobook teaser
Bloomsbury have released a teaser for the British Deathly Hallows audiobook (which will be released July 21st), a promotional image of Stephen Fry (the narrator) & J.K.Rowling and some interesting facts about the disks. 
The teaser, which comes in the form of a message from Fry, can be downloaded in mp3 format here.
The promotional image can be seen in full in our gallery here. Quote:
-Listening time for the DH audio edition is 24 hours and 1 minute
-The audio editions of the Harry Potter books have now sold over a million copies.
-Stephen Fry has spent a total of 38 days in the studio recording all seven Harry Potter books
-Stephen Fry has voices for over 170 characters from the books
-In the same time as it takes to listen to all seven audiobooks you could go to the moon, and still have nearly a day left over to look around, or listen to a Harry Potter book, once you got there.
-In the same time as it takes to listen to the Deathly Hallows audiobook, you could:
· Fly from London to Sydney, Australia
· Run the men’s 100 metres world record 8800 times
· Play 16 football matches
· Listen to Queen’s ‘It’s a kind of magic’ 330 times
· Watch The Wizard of Oz 14 times

Just wondering. They are for the American audiobooks. Quote:

Those were my exact thoughts!

Oh wow. 24 hours. I'd be willing to stay up for 24 hours to listen to it. After I read the book. Then I could catch the things I miss. Sleep is over-rated.. when it comes to Harry Potter... some days. LOL. *walks away humming 'its a kind of magic'*
