Maybe you guys should read this book first, then proceed to your hair-fire book club for TDS sufferers:

Unless the book authors gave permission to the you tubers who posted the audiobooks, the author's copyrights are being violated. I don't know that posting the links creates exposure for the board, but I'm not sure that promoting theft is a wise thing to do. Jersey Girl, please think about deleting the links.
ETA: Now I'm sure these are infringing audiobooks. It's done very cleverly. Amazon owns Audible. Audible will give you two free audiobooks if you sign up for a trial membership. On Audible's site, you can listen to a sample of the book.
Jersey's links go to an audio version of the book on a youtube channel hosted by "Azok Books." I googled them. No hits. I listened to the Youtube version. It's not the same narrator. In fact, it sounds like a synthesized voice.

Thanks, Jersey Girl. Like I said, it was clever. No apology needed.

Let me just say that all audio books about Trump should be read by
Christopher Walken.

I flippin' love Christopher Walken!
I mentioned somewhere in a post that I was listening to the Harry Potter books series on audio. The narrator is Stephen Fry. He is Ah-mazing! I discovered him while listening to Harry Potter at Home on what was the old Pottermore website, now Wizarding World.com. There they had various celebrities reading the chapters of the Sorcerer's Stone/Philosopher's Stone. Daniel Radcliffe read the first chapter. (Insert a parade of puffy hearts.)
When I got to the chapter by Stephen Fry (didn't know who he was) I was astounded at how he nailed the voices of certain characters, their tone, timbre, and accents. I learned that he did audio of the entire series and am loving the heck out of listening to it! His voice impressions of Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) and Richard Griffiths (Vernon Dursley) was so spot on I couldn't believe what I was hearing!
Here it is.

It will mean nothing to you if you haven't seen the films. I also don't know if you have to be registered to listen. I've had a Pottermore account since it came online and everything just transferred over to the new website.
In any case, Fall term at Hogwarts begins on September 1st so if you wanna catch up you better get going! <----Potterhead geeky stuff.

He has a great voice for narration. I remember him from Hitchhiker's Guide and (of all things) Little Big Planet.
