https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/01/audible-has-the-first-harry-potter-audiobook-as-read-by-stephen-fry-up-for-free-right-now/ > If you’ve ever tried to buy the Harry Potter audiobooks, you probably noticed something kind of tricky: there’s two very different versions. The version most widely available in the US is narrated by Jim Dale. The UK version is read by Stephen Fry. > Which is better? I won’t get into that — that’s something the Internet has been arguing about for a decade+ now. I will say, however, that getting the Stephen Fry versions in the US (legally) is usually a pretty big pain in the butt. Different countries, different distribution rights, different licensing — yada yada yada.
