My great Harry Potter reread (via audiobooks) is over.
I listened to all seven books in the car, mostly during my commute to school. Here are the stats:
- 69 discs
- 119 hours
- approximately 828 miles
As I live in the US, all the discs were narrated by Jim Dale, who I think does a magnificent job.
Although I have reached the end of the series, I am sure this is not goodbye, just until we meet again. I will watch the movies again, and I will remark on the many bits that have been left out or streamlined for the sake of the movie’s length. I am certain I will read the series again, either in print or as audiobooks. I must admit, though I am curious to hear the Stephen Fry audiobooks that are available in the UK.
You can compare the two voices here.
My new audiobook mission is to revisit some classic science fiction during my commute: Robert Heinlein, Larry Niven, Arthur C. Clarke, and other authors of that ilk to see which ones I can add to my classroom library. I’ll keep you posted

What an accomplishment! That’s a lot of hours, and a whole lot of miles! 🙂
