As I posted a little while ago (can’t remember when), the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Audiobook will be released at the same time as the book (July 21st). Click here to hear Stephen Fry’s talk about it, and here to see a picture of Stephen and JK Rowling.

Here are some other interesting (random) facts about this audiobook:

-Listening time for the DH audio edition is 24 hours and 1 minute
-Stephen Fry has spent a total of 38 days in the studio recording all seven Harry Potter books
-Stephen Fry has voices for over 170 characters from the books
-In the same time as it takes to listen to all seven audiobooks you could go to the moon, and still have nearly a day left over to look around, or listen to a Harry Potter book, once you got there.
-In the same time as it takes to listen to the Deathly Hallows audiobook, you could:
· Fly from London to Sydney, Australia
· Watch The Wizard of Oz 14 times

Thanks Mugglenet!
