Resumen del Editor

Jim Dale's Grammy Award-winning performance of J.K. Rowling's iconic stories is a listening adventure for the whole family.

There it was, hanging in the sky above the school: the blazing green skull with a serpent tongue, the mark Death Eaters left behind whenever they had entered a building... wherever they had murdered...

Close your eyes and enter the magical world of Harry Potter. In these editions, Jim Dale's characterful narration is so entertaining, fun, and theatrical you can almost hear the crackle of the fire in the Gryffindor common room.

When Dumbledore arrives at Privet Drive one summer night to collect Harry Potter, his wand hand is blackened and shrivelled, but he does not reveal why. Secrets and suspicion are spreading through the wizarding world, and Hogwarts itself is not safe. Harry is convinced that Malfoy bears the Dark Mark: there is a Death Eater amongst them. Harry will need powerful magic and true friends as he explores Voldemort's darkest secrets, and Dumbledore prepares him to face his destiny...

Having become classics of our time, the Harry Potter stories never fail to bring comfort and escapism. With their message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new listeners.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

When Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens, the war against Voldemort has begun. The Wizarding world has split down the middle, and as the casualties mount, the effects even spill over onto the Muggles. Dumbledore is away from Hogwarts for long periods, and the Order of the Phoenix has suffered grievous losses. And yet, as in all wars, life goes on.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione, having passed their O.W.L. level exams, start on their specialist N.E.W.T. courses. Sixth-year students learn to Apparate, losing a few eyebrows in the process. Teenagers flirt and fight and fall in love. Harry becomes captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, while Draco Malfoy pursues his own dark ends. And classes are as fascinating and confounding as ever, as Harry receives some extraordinary help in Potions from the mysterious Half-Blood Prince.

Most importantly, Dumbledore and Harry work together to uncover the full and complex story of a boy once named Tom Riddle—the boy who became Lord Voldemort. Like Harry, he was the son of one Muggle-born and one Wizarding parent, raised unloved, and a speaker of Parseltongue. But the similarities end there, as the teenaged Riddle became deeply interested in the Dark objects known as Horcruxes: objects in which a wizard can hide part of his soul, if he dares splinter that soul through murder.

Harry must use all the tools at his disposal to draw a final secret out of one of Riddle’s teachers, the sly Potions professor Horace Slughorn. Finally Harry and Dumbledore hold the key to the Dark Lord’s weaknesses... until a shocking reversal exposes Dumbledore’s own vulnerabilities, and casts Harry’s—and Hogwarts’s—future in shadow.

Jim Dale has done an exceptional job with the narrations of the Harry Potter series. His narratives only get better and better with each book.

What did you love best about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Book 6?

We have already purchased this book along with all the others on CD. But CD's wear out and there are some problems. To be able to get these treasures in electronic format from Audible is simply fantastic! Jim Dale is a treasure and is up the wonderful quality of J.K. Rowling's writing of Harry Potter.

By far the best

the best series I've revisited while sheltering for Covid19. The narrator is splendid. And the tales are as mesmerizing as they were when I first read these books.

Overall outstanding

Harry Potter

I loved this book. This is my first time reading through the Harry Potter series.And thanks to Audible, I've been able to finish the series of 7 books <3.

Amazing as always

Jim Dale brings JK Rowling's masterpieces to life. Truly an enjoyable experience from the first moment to the last.

well crafted.

Jim Dale does an amazing job as usual. this one drags a bit but in the end entertaining and the adventure continues.

So much more details than the movie!

I’ve never been much of a reader, I just wait for the movie. The Half Blood Prince is my favorite of the set and so I got it on audible and listened to it while resting. There are so many things that are briefly mentioned in the movie that leaves me with big questions left unanswered. Like Why Snape is the half blood prince, what is Tom Riddle’s story, and other things explained that I have had questions about that the movie leaves out.
I bought all of the books on audible and listened to them in order. So many important details are in the books! And the man who reads them does a good job with impressions of the different characters.

Pure genius of J.K. Rowling on full display

When Dumbledore assessed the Dursley's treatment of Harry since he came in their care and the abuse they inflicted on Dudley by spoiling him rotten, I thought that was one of the most memorable quotes from the entire series. Indeed maybe one of the most memorable quotes in modern literature.
