| | |  Jim Dale Keeps DH Ending Secret
Jim Dale, the narrator for the American editions of the Harry Potter audio book, can keep a secret too. In a recent interview with the New York Times, Dale talks a little bit about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. While he does not and will not discuss specific plot details, he does contribute that "It [has a] surprise ending." Quote:
But after spending eight years creating more than 200 voices for all the characters in the “Harry Potter” books, Mr. Dale really believes that readers — and listeners — should discover the end for themselves.
“For those people who say, ‘C’mon, Jim, how does it end?,’ it’s like parents who say: ‘There’s a surprise gift for you in the next room. It’s a bicycle,’ ” said Mr. Dale, whose apartment could easily make a Hogwarts professor feel at home with its eclectic collections of Victorian cake decorations, pewter plates and Persian swords. “Let the child find out for himself by opening this gift.”
Dale also recorded 18 to 20 pages an hour for the new audio book, but he received the manuscript only a few days beforehand. Quote:
That makes it impossible for me to actually read it before recording it. I don't ever know how the book is going to end so I can’t unconsciously lead you in the direction that the book is going. I don’t know who the villain is because I am just reading 100 pages at a time.
The audio book is available on July 21, 2007.

| Pretty, pretty Princess EEP! Alert!
I'm glad that the audio book is being released the same time as the written ones, otherwise that would be plain mean.
Ha, he must feel awesome being one of a handful of people who already know how DH ends!

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

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. | |

I'm glad that he's not telling. He shouldn't. Besides, he probably has a contract that prevents him from revealing anything about the book. | |

Ooooh! I cannot wait!
Harry wakes up and it's all been a dream!
No NO!!! Ashton Kutcher comes out with everyone who died, laughing his head off and he says "Harry Potter, you have just been punk'd."
