Platt said the biggest change for the audiobooks was the move from cassette tapes to CD players in cars. He recalled an entire suitcase of cassette tapes when someone once checked out an audio version of the Bible.
Anyway, we were at a bar and were getting a good laugh at a guy who was playing pool all by himself while wearing a hoody over his hat, sunglasses under that and headphones on the outside of all of it. So we started riffing on "What could he possibly be listening to?". Someone who I don't think was me said that he was listening to a book on tape of Harry Potter. And out came the Wizard People narrator. I joked that night that I was going to rush home and record an entire misinformed book on tape of The Sorcerer's Stone, because I had not and have not ever read any Harry Potter books. Once I started making notes for it I realized that an audio track alone could get boring, so I decided to sync it with the movie. Then I took a week or two and made the damn thing. I love it.

According to Neely, the idea came one night in a bar, as he and a few mates watched a guy play pool alone while wearing headphones. "What could he possibly be listening to?" they wondered. Neely offered it could be a misinformed book on tape of The Philosopher's Stone. He joked he was going to rush home and record it that night: "Because I had not, and have not ever, read any Harry Potter books. Once I started making notes for it I realised that an audio track alone could get boring, so I decided to sync it with the movie. Then I took a week or two and made the damn thing. I love it."

I have loved having it on my phone, it's like being transported back to being 8 and having the tapes back to back on my Walkman as I pottered around the house stopping only to find more batteries and the next tape.
I'm not sure I can justify buying the audiobooks again as I have tapes of 1-6 CDs of 6&7 and mp3s of all of them, but it is so lovely having them on my phone.
Granted, even here in L.A., 6,000 miles from its original setting on Privet Lane, the hype generated by the books, and then movies of the books, tapes of the books, books about the books, was unavoidable. For the last eight years, TV networks have insisted on showing us footage of books from Britain being unloaded from planes onto trucks, from trucks into shops, then from shops being stuffed into the hot little hands of children.
MAX: This--it's quite an honor to speak with both of you. I'm actually a second-time caller on the show. I was a little bit nervous the first time, but I'm glad I've got a little bit more control over myself now. I was calling because I've been a big Harry Potter fan, actually, for a couple of years now, and I've listened to the first five books on tape with--through Mr. Dale's just brilliant work. And, you know, I'm 20 years old and I'm a political science student in college and, you know, he speaks of children, but I'd say that, you know, his ability to differentiate so brilliantly between the characters is something that all of us can appreciate. And it's almost as if, you know, I've watched a hundred-hour movie between the books, and I guess my question is, you know: How--as the characters continue to multiply and become more complex, how do you still capture exactly who those characters are, the essence of the characters? Because I'll tell you--and my father's a 65-year-old PhD in political science and dean at the med school, and I've got him hooked on these books on tape, as well. So I'm just wondering, you know, what it is that allows you to bring those books alive for all of us.
Mr. DALE: No, because we recorded the books first, before the movies. Chris Columbus, I believe, received some tapes from my agent--this is funny, because we didn't hear anything. And my agent wanted me to be in one of the films, obviously, and she finally phoned up Chris Columbus' secretary and said, `Has Chris Columbus ever heard of Jim Dale?' And the answer was `Yes, yes, he often listens to the tapes to give him some idea as to what the characters should sound like.' So that's a bit of a sort of compliment. 0852c4b9a8
