kool i own all of the audio versions !st?

Ah that´s very cool! For once those who need it and want it won´t have to wait longer than anybody else!! All good things. :)

that is so cool i want to fly to the moon lol.

lol, you could do all those things while listening?

Aah, I love the useless facts.

That's good that eveyone gets it at the same time. 5th?

that is a lot of hours. i love that they come out on the same day.

2 4 hours and one minute!!! holy crap..

I liked those little fun facts. Trivia is my best friend.

same day as book...cool!

Hmmm... Never Tickle A Sleeping Dragon... An interesting 'clue', haha. :) I can totally picture Hermione freaking out because Ron/Harry never bothered to learn to school motto.

never tickle sleeping dragons?? that's the latin phrase he said, correct? maybe it has to do with the dragon the trio is riding on the US Delux Ed.

it's cool, but i wouldn't be able to take it seriously...the guy's voice is kind of silly : p

That's sweet.. I like the random facts!

COOL! i love the audio books

*agrees with DarthWitness* same here. :D

How cool!!! I love the whole dragon plot-ideas, and i've always loved that motto...

Never tickle a sleeping dragon....dragon on cover. Connection?

Cool. Wanna watch wizard of Oz 14 times?????? If you listen to pink floyd, then put in the best of Pink Floyd,,, Including: Time, Money, Eclipse, ect. And press the play button when the lion (from wizard of oz (Beginning WB thing)) Roars on the third time, Mute wizard of Oz, and then sit back and enjoy..... It goes along with it real well! Kinda off subject.....

top 20? and yes, to the post two above me.. i'm listening to the mugglecast 94 right now and it reminds me of the antipode opaleye (spelling?)

I love the facts... "Listen to 'It's a Kind of Magic' 330 times" Lol!

i love the trivia and its gr8 that they are letting those who have to listen, hear it at the same time we read... although most people will be done the book b4 24 hours and 1 minute. heck ill be done by the next mornin. im not stoppin till im dun... ny1 else?

Ahhh...I love Stephen Fry... Never tickle a sleeping dragon...Finally, we are going to find out what the heck that was all about. It seems to be all concerning the founders isn't it? We are getting all these little clues about them: There were a lot of questions about them in the WOMBATs, they have been featured as wizards of the month for the last two months (HH for May, SS for June, my money is on RR for July, and GG for August, when we have already read the book), we know that two of the titles that were trademarked a few years ago were HH and the Hallows of Hogwarts, and HH and the Hogwarts Hallows, and now we get that the school motto is a clue... There is no way that we are not going back to Hogwarts, apparently it's going to be a very important part of the book.

hmm, never tickle a sleeping dragon.... is this 2 do wiv the plot or just a silly red herring? cant w8 til DH will b at the shops at midnite 2 buy it! By the way thx v much 2 all the ppl who run mugglenet, i go on it every day at least twice and it has kept me going between the neverending w8s between the books!!!

hmmm...i wonder..

Ohhh interesting! ive also been intrigued by the fact "Draco" means Dragon-will this be important?! Also Hogwarts on the back cover, a dragon on the front...the school motto will be very important I believe! Im so glad he thought it was fabulous!! Although the fact the audio edition is being released on the same day is something weve known since we knew the book release date-its not new information!

Oh I love Stephen Fry. I'm tempted to buy all of the audiobooks once I get the money, just for his voice xD Also, I'm quite excited for what appears to be a big dragon plot in DH!

How random is this??!! Who actually made these calculations and with what kind of thought process?lol. I mean, can you just picture someone thinking "Hmmm.. lets see how many times i can watch wizard of oz in 24 hrs and 1 minute" or "How many football matches can YOU play in 24hrs 1minute.. only 14? I can play 16. Ha"

hahaha I really liked that little "clue" from Fry. I think that reading the 7th book to me is gonna be like opening a present... you don't know what your getting! YAY!!!!!!!!! So excited!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! He's great! =] He's funny too, I still love Jim Dale though, but I really want to hear Stephen Fry read one of the books. He has a great voice!

Stephen Fry is amazing. He's one of my favorite actors / sketch comedians, plus he's a renown author. He's simply amazing. I think I might go to the library and pick up the previous audio books, just to see how he does them. I'm positively sure he does them well though, because he's such a great actor.

What happens if you tickle a dragon though? What if this whole story is a dream? A dragon's dream? I'd hate that!

So yeah im gonna go watch wizard of oz 14 times. haha.

is the bit about Queen in there for Jamie and Andrew?

Haha, doesn´t seem that short that audio book..." go to the moon and fly from london to sydney". Lol. Not bad. I have never listened to these audio books...maybe I should give it a try...

HOLY CRAP NEVER TICKLE A SLEEIPNG DRAGON! theres a dragon on the cover of the american deluxe version! dragonsdragonsdragonsdrag onsdragons!...ok im done being hyper/nonsense for the day!

I believe that the Audio edition for Harry potter and the Order of the Phoenix-at 38 chapters, about 255,000 words-was 24 hours long itself. Does this mean that at 608 pages UK Deathly Hallows may just have small text but be as "wordy" as Phoenix? Can anyone confirm the length of HBP for me-as it is 607 pages in UK we should be able to tell the length of the book roughly word wise! I need to get out more....

ooooooh, cool trivia. next time i fly from london to sydney, which i've never really planned on, i'll be sure to buy and bring all the audiobooks on the plane with me.

hmm very interesting....never tickle a sleeping dragon.....he mentions the motto and there's a dragon on the cover...Coincidence??? I think not the facts are great...who wouldn't want to watch the Wizard of Oz 14 times?? haha

Hmm...Never tickle a sleeping Dragon.... Maybe that's got something to do with the deluxe edition cover. Also, because he said, as they say at 'Hogwarts' could we be seeing Hogwarts again?

i say we all go to OOTP in ponchos...

Okay... This has been said on the forums before, but I must reiterate. "Never Tickle A Sleeping Dragon" Harry, Ron, and Hermione sit astride a dragon on the US Deluxe Edition cover. (Possibly Norbert? To me it looks like a Hungarian Horntail, not a Norwegian Richback.) I always found it interesting that Hogwarts had such a motto. Could the school be housing a dragon? It did hold a basilisk in utter secrecy. Personally, I always thought the title was more of a metaphor... That Hogwarts was not a school to be trifled with. Perhaps some of the trio's adventure takes place in Romania.

never tickle a sleeping punto...

never tickle a sleeping dragon? only jk rowling can create this stuff! she's really a GENIUS! all this clues and hints and things that you think are irrelevant but are really major and all the magic and names and plots and personalities....she really has a genius mind....

This means that Deathly Hallows is LONGER than Goblet of Fire. The Stephen Fry recording of Goblet of Fire runs just under 21 hours. That makes the Deathly Hallows recording 3 hours longer than the Goblet of Fire one. While there could be a variation in reading speed, 3 hours difference makes it obvious that it is longer. YAY!

ahh... gotta love Stephen Fry!

I love the Queen reference. I've never been able to listen to that song without thinking about Harry Potter.

I adore stephen fry and Jim Dale drove me mad. Yay.

never tickle a sleeeping rob15

Yay! I adore Stephen Fry! He's amazing and is fantastically brilliant at reading the books.
