Charles Gross reviews Jim Dale in The Road to Mecca on gross902

[DeathKnightKendrel]

Dude sounds younger than he looks. But he's no less cool.

[Ihdc1]

He doesn't do mcgonagall as well as in the actual audiobooks. maybe hes getting old?

[LilaSucker4Vampire]

OMG!!! I luv his voice,, He reads Night Circus and makes it simply magic!!!!!

[agentbaybob]

more then half the class ejaculated furiously rather then fucking girls behind snape long and hard.

[TheEtesian]

Jim Dale ISSSSS harry potter to me. The first book came out before I could read, and I listened to his audiobooks. So whenever I read harry potter now, it's his voice I here.

[dontforgetme1651435]

"Fuck JK Rowling" Said, Jim Dale. HA HA!!

[Curseco]

"Dick in the butt, pleeeeease!" - Jim Dale

[TheCultureCombo]

I've fallen asleep to his voice since these books came out!

[55466244]

[rusty11111]

[acae1]

[GabbyGenevieve]

Dale SUPER wins. WAY better than Fry. Easily.

[beitrisln]

[KungfuCow5]

@joeyamg Stephen Fry is sooooooooooooo much better.

[potter2cool]

3 words: Dale owned Fry

[mime454]

@potter2cool I don't agree. As someone who has listened to all seven books from each of them.

[KungfuCow5]

@potter2cool No one owns Stephen Fry. Stephen Fry is wonderful in all his lovely Fryiness.

[waterchikk]

@biggjoe926 i know... my friend has a book on tape/cd and it was read by a person that sounded like a freak

[Dewdropmon]

@biggjoe926: Well, not every book. But most of them, certainly.

[metsfanalex]

[jeremyteisslerish]

@colinlikeschapstick

[LongHairedLoser]

Everyone here should check out dirty potter on google, you'll all love it and it is read by Jim Dale.

[Szaldatface]

God, I love this guy.

[jerzy862]

[Avrelsg]

omg the sorting hat part at the end was amazing!

but i prefer stephen fry's, his voice is very relaxing. but jim dale does sucha good job for e characters, im impressed!!!

[drotis]

doc terminus

[gamergator]

1:16 "When you listen to a book, you're being given another fucking dimension".

[SCE2AUX]

I've been following this guy since "Pete's Dragon."

[vanessamae29]

love the books and him reading the audiobook!<3

[Farrlap]

I love his voice

[Avavavavaaa]

the facts were these...

[poromise]

Jim Dale somehow resembles George W. Bush :DD

Except Dale is cool.

[HYDfan99]

jim dale does ALL of the harry potter voices in the books by himself. i expect he drinks a lot of water

[tornheartworld]

JIM DALE!!! AWESOME!!

[trompalot]

i've never actually "read" a Harry Potter book. that's cuz i first listened to it on audio and was hooked.

[DieAlena]

his audiobooks are the BEST!!!!!!!

[mamatalu]

Just finished listening to his Half-blood Prince and boy it was wonderful!! He's really awesome!

[N8DT7777777]

All I have to say is... ckckckckckckckckckckck. And it was blissful oblivion.

[victorialantz]

AHHH this is so fricken amazing!! i LOVE audiobooks :) xD

[pinkvain]

this is the socerers stone i new it once he started reading it cuz i read it yetserday

[TwilightGator]

I knew it was the first from the introduction of McGonagall! The emrald green dress, stern look, so on so first.

[Wanda4DecentValues]

These Satanic Harry Potter books are even showing up in our supermarkets, our drugstores, and in our school libraries, and anywhere a few dollars can be made. Sadly, the occult and Satanism is becoming the accepted norm these days. Another sign of the Judegment Day? I think so.

[eviltig]

Wanda4CrazyValues I went to your site cause you sound like a whackjob..... All I can say is Gluttony is a sin so I have heard but Im not a Christian nut Job.... Just saying.....

[pinkvain]

Harry Potter isnt satanic. If u readf the books u will c that there is christainty woven in through the seris. If u think that Harry Potter is stanic,well u don't no wat ur missing

[nimrodhunter311]

I dont think it is satanic or it alludes to christianity...i think it is just clean fun entertainment...lol

[poromise]

Well, you can find satanism and such in almost anything if you look for it really closely...

These fundamentalists claim they find such allusions in HP, and it's because they didn't stumble upon them, they found them by looking for them really hard.

[piepie725]

WTF, its not SATANIC, harry potter is AWESOME! ITS ABOUT SOMETHING THAT U WONT ACCEPT BECAUSE UR AS SIMPLE-MINDED AS HERMIONE

[K3np4tch1]

Firstly, the ocult? The HP-books are about loving your friends, stepping up and perhaps defying rules but at great risk for yourself, but also for the greater good.

Fantasy-books are a wounderfull source of inspiration and imagination, for children and adults, and teaches us bravery and kindness.

I feel sorry for you, that you can't even look further than your own little book.(That may be just as much fiction as the HP-books).

Try reading them, or maybe listen to the audiobook. They're great.

[sdhummer]

I am blind in one eye and have low vision in the other.

I love audiobooks they have made books come to life and Jim Dale is THE MAN I wish I could thank him for all he has done his great narration of Harry Potter has meant the world to me.

[squeekytoy123]

I listen to the books when I'm doing mindless graphite work for my art courses. It makes the time pass so much faster I love them!

[brom8305]

So do I!

[Wellsyscoot]

Its Harry Potter 1

[annastar221]

which book is this!?

[2MOONSSS]

how dare you not no what book this is =-D

[Mar1uxia1]

the first.

[tjark84]

too bad the german interpreter of the HP audio books isn't as good...he makes different voices for each and every character... but sometimes (too often) he doesn't really get the right intonation...

[lindseyreviews]

Woah! it's weird to hear his voice with, like, his face.

[Shelley464]

Haha - but it's awesome! :)

[VtRD]

I've never read a HP book--the audio really captures the story so much better. Is there anything Jim Dale can't do? At age 73 he rocks, and is an inspiration to this 54 year old!

[CinamonMongoose]

I have a much easier time reading. My mind wanders so much that when it's audio I miss a lot.

[dauodwa]

Wow Jim dale is much better then Stephen Fry. Im so glad that I'm downloading his version of the audio books :p

[mike92589]

were can you download them i need to download them to my zune thnks

[OnEMuMu]

he`s good.. i like the way he expresses the feeling of the books.. but i think Stephen Fry is better... he has the british accent that suits the harry potter universe... he doesnt use so many voices but he`s very good

[Westvlaamsche]

I absolutely love the audiobooks red by Jim!!

[csheth]

Jim Dale rules the HP audio books!

[SCBennett2]

I feel bad for the people that have Steven Fry as the narrator, Jim Dale is soooooooo much better

[mime454]

@SCBennett2 I've listened to both, and I have to say that I much prefer Stephen Fry, but both are top-notch readers.

[NoNameArtist89]

Know what? What impresses me most is how this man's voice sounds like... I mean, he's over 70 and sounds like 40. Whatever, greatest voice ever heard! ^^

[artifexal]

I LOVE JIM DALE.

[NYbookworm17]

I LOVE THIS MAN"S VOICE!

he has the world's sexiest reading voice!

[LadyKnight123]

Okay, for those who have seen Pete's Dragon, he plays the bad guy! Holy crap!

[nikhilmalik62]

i would love to have had him read me bedtime stories when i was a kid.

[jkeppel90]

Jim Dale inspired me to read with more expression.

[deman1877]

@jkeppel90 who gives a shit

[sidjames1976]

Great to see Jim again. I love his work in the Carry On films.

[lizdorkk]

[popsiclekun]

I love Jim Dale's voice. He's amazing * w*

I've been listening to the Harry Potter books on tape every single night to help me sleep, for years. [X

[kvlt]

[HowManyTimes234]

Jim Dale = God

[SuperSakiKinomoto]

Yup. Pretty much.

[AmazinGrace103]

I adore Jim Dale! His voice lulls me to sleep every night! He is my HERO!!!!

[joshuamt90]

@AmazinGrace103 OMGGGGG ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR REAL, SOME PEOPLE NEED LIKE A FAN OR SOMETHING.. DUDE.. I NEED TO HAVE A HARRY POTTER AUDIOBOOK PLAYING. We should be friends.

[AmazinGrace103]

@joshuamt90 Ha ha ha!!! We totally should. It is a rare trait to share with other people. :)

[DeNikow]

@joshuamt90 Ever heard of the bay of pirates?

[MorgaineLeFair]

quite interesting but I'd prefer Steven Fry=) he's incredible

[Ezm23]

[lifehouselove]

this guy is amazing.

[newalexman1212]

you think he is good? well you havent herd of steven fry.

if you want to know about what he sounds like go to my channel.

he over do the voices.

[SethKlan]

I used to daydream about meeting people like Mr. Dale and being able to tell him how much I enjoyed his work. Thanks to YouTube, I hope he reads this... Mr. Dale, you have been a HUGE part of my life over the past 8 years. Your voice had me laughing and crying. I especially want to compliment your performance of Barty Crouch Jr.'s court trial. I cried hard that night. By the end of #6, you had me hating Snape. By the end of #7, you had me loving Snape. Thank you for making it so REAL!

[chrissyvintage87]

i keep thinking of Pushing Daisies. lol

[PeopleOnTheStreets95]

i can just hear him saying "ned the piemaker" in my head right now. he does the narrarating for pushing dasies^^

does a good job as well.

[bl22ass]

man this guy is the shit no poop stainz i love how he reads it its the best.....harry potter is the best thing since sliced bread!

[lololeela]

I have loved Jim Dale since "Pete's Dragon" and "Hot Lead and Cold Feet" and had such a huge crush on him. Of course, he was a lot younger then.

[harrinski]

I prefer Stephen Fry's harry potter audio books. Its a matter of opinion but i just think he is better, a nicer voice to listen too.

[tyleroreilly]

haha its amazing to hear him not reading the book. in the beginning it was so cool.

[redneck500]

This guy is absolutely amazing, I love listening to his audio books, Its very relaxing and enjoyable. He is very talented.

[Iceoasis11]

whooot! i was there. it was amazing..new york was great for the release of DH...very surreal to see him and hear his voice at the same time..

[rockerholic]

He hasn't really changed much since his Carry On days! Gotta love him ^^

[MrzLaylaKhan]

i kinda thought that he might be fat...:P

[hiphopguy15]

[trueblue1217]

I like listening to these even better than my ipod sometimes

[keesdechinees]

[kautakkantahu]

[NelehChar]

I love how everyone cheered and laughed at the right moments, when you wouldn't always cheer or laugh if you were reading it by yourself.

[punkrocker2563]

thats amazing how he can change voices like that

[badboi697]

Jim Dale also does the games

[andy199]

He's also the doctor guy in Pete's Dragon.

[fuckthatpussy11]

His eyes have witnessed a comedic genius-Kenneth Williams-amazing.
