Harry Potter Audio CDs

I just started listening to the Harry Potter audio CDs and they are enchanting. I've read all the books already, but I had heard that the reader for the audio version, Jim Dale, was amazing. Within 30 seconds I was totally hooked. He has a perfect voice and accent for the books, and does fantastic voices for all the different characters. (Apparently he develops a new voice, complete with accent and phrasing, for each new character then tape records it so he can go back and reconstruct it when the character appears again later.)
