| | New Jim Dale Interview
A new interview with Jim Dale, the US audiobook reader, has emerged. He talks about the new book, ' Half-Blood Prince' and reveals that he knows who dies. Quote:
"I know who dies," Jim Dale tells CBS News correspondent Mika Brzezinski.
Quote:
"The worst thing is if somebody leaks it (the book) to them," he says, "because then goes the great excitement of finding out for themselves."
Quote:
"Well, Harry. I decided in the early days, instead of trying to switch to a voice of Harry, just use my voice, a younger Jim Dale. And over the years, as Harry has aged, then I've allowed my voice to become a little more normal."
Quote:
"I took my grandson into McDonald's to have a hamburger, and I'm asking in my voice, and I turn around, and two kids there with their eyes so wide open. He said, 'Are you...' and he said, 'Do Dumbledore!' So I'm ordering hamburgers as two different characters from 'Harry Potter.'"

Excitement of finding out who dies, or will it be depression when we find out? Full of worry for Remus
Cute story about being recognized though!

Hah! That's too cute about the Burger King thing.
So, completely confirmed... someone dies.
I wish he'd have hinted at romance like the editors did. LOL

Hehe, the two voices thing was funny.
I've never actually heard his voice or anything, but he does seem like a really cool guy. |

I knew someone was going to die...but having someone who has read the books say so makes it so much more...real. It better not be Lupin (it would be WRONG!),Ron,Hermione, and any of the Weasleys!! I know that dosent leave to many people...but they are what make the books! (well Harry to of course, i dont want him to die..but i already know he cant! There is another book...) oh well...we'll know in 4 days! |

| I haven't heard any of the audiobooks but if it's as good as you are all making it sound then I think I just might buy one. I love the McDonalds story. I can't believe the kids recognized him just by his voice. I'm not sure I would've. As much as I want to read the books I just don't want anyone to die. I'm worried for all the characters...even Harry (although I'm sure he'll survive this book considering there's still a 7th).

Honestly, I live for spoilers! I love to know anything I can about the books, and it still won't ruin it for me! I know some people or should I say most people are the complete opposite! I'm so proud that the books are still doing so well!
