See the video of her commencement address. (I have to tell the quick story of Harry Potter in our house when my daughter was younger. We listened to every book avidly on tape then CD on weekend car rides; Jim Dale was - is! - just so magnicent. I got to meet JK and Jim at a party back when, and the next day, my daughter, then 8, said, "You met Jim Dale!"

For us, too, Jim was the voices of Harry and friends. Except for the last book, which we just needed to read as F A S T as possible, and couldn't take the time to enjoy Jim's rendition... at least the first time through.

Me for the Jim Dale fan camp, too. During a recent trip to my home state of Arizona, my 4 kids and listened to Book 5 of the Harry Potter series, off and on. Then came the 7-hour drive from Grand Canyon to the border, and wow, did we become Jim Dale fans. His use of multiple voices is unparalleled!
