New, repackaged audio editions of the classic and internationally bestselling, multi-award-winning series, read by Stephen Fry containing 7 CDs with a total running time of 8 hours and 25 minutes. With irresistible new jackets by Jonny Duddle to bring Harry Potter to the next generation of readers.
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!
