(I felt he needed more defenders in this thread!) to summarise, I'm slightly in favour of Stephen. Dumbledoreyness that Rowling wrote into the character. Fry's Dumbledore gives off the sense warmth, deep intellect, wisdom, age balanced with inner youth and great strength and. Neither of the film actors have quite pinned down the man for me and Dale's Dumbledore sounds like a strong breeze would knock him over. Oh and Fry's Dumbledore IS the quintessential interpretation of the character. Any Harry Potter fan who hasn't sampled Stephen Fry owes it to themselves to, it's stellar. I haven't heard of anyone raised on Fry who listened to Dale after and was converted, but I've encountered many people accustomed to Dale who much preferred Fry's reading after trying. Fry also has this uncanny ability to create the perfect voice for every character, but he also really excels in the non-speech parts of the book. With Dale I'm always aware that I'm listening to an audiobook, whereas Fry creates such distinctive characters and describes the magical world so vividly and colourfully that listening to him is a deeply immersive experience.
Dale is great, but I find Dale's reading is a little monotonous and his voices all sound vaguely similar. His reading is so much more impassioned, he injects so much more energy into the words and really brings the story to life. ©1997 J.K.It might be a cultural difference (I'm a Londoner so was raised on Fry) but to me and every one of my Potter-geek friends, Stephen Fry IS Harry Potter. With their message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new listeners. Having become classics of our time, the Harry Potter stories never fail to bring comfort and escapism. An incredible adventure is about to begin! 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. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'.
