| | |  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

Interesting facts ^^
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

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'*
