Story5 out of 5 stars 215
Orphelin, Harry Potter est élevé par un oncle et une tante qui ne l'aiment pas. Le jour de ses 11 ans, son existence bascule : un géant l'emmène à Poudlard, l'école de sorcellerie ! Voilà son incroyable destin : être sorcier. Jeter des sorts, utiliser des pouvoirs, ensorceler les trolls... À la maison Gryffondor, il rencontre Ron et Hermione, s'initie au Quidditch, un sport pratiqué sur un balai. La vie est excitante, mais Voldemort, Celui-Dont-On-Ne-Doit-Pas-Prononcer-Le-Nom, refait surface.

Great reading voice until he starts doing the voices of the characters. Some of them sound ridiculous

Tous les parents seraient fiers d'avoir une petite fille comme Matilda : mignonne, gentille et surtout dotée de facultés intellectuelles ahurissantes. Imaginez qu'à cinq ans elle a déjà lu tout Dickens, tout Hemingway et attaque Steinbeck ! Hélas pour Matilda, non seulement elle a pour géniteurs les pires crétins méchants que la terre ait portés, mais en plus Mlle Legourdin, la directrice de son école, est un monstre sadique qui hait les enfants.

Wonderful stories TERRIBLE narrator
after purchasing this as and other collections of my favorite authors I swore off anything read by Cathy Dobson. Her voice and ridiculous intonations ruins every story she reads. I am passionate about French and Russian literature and it is beyond disappointing to see so many of those stories read exclusively by Csthy Dobson. I noticed I am hardly the first to deem these recordings unlistenable. Why have they not been re-recorded by someone else?!!

Dobson as narrator ruins the best stories
The narration by Cathy Dobbs simply ruins what are otherwise spectacular stories. The wrong voice, narration, it’s just horrible, and sadly Dobbs narrates much of these beautiful older pieces. Listener beware, see if your ear can take it.

great stories ruined!
I was so looking forward to listening to the stories of great authors I had previously read. However within 20 minutes and trying all of the stories I turned off in frustration. The reader was pretentious and irritating to the point of ruining great literature. no wonder young people don't listen to these wonderful works.
