absolutely brilliant!

This book is ab-so-lute-ly fantastic! And the (at times somewhat wild) narration just adds to the enjoyment! Despite the fact that the narrator's accents can be somewhat crazy, I think he is generally great, in that his intonation and feeling are wonderful, and his voice is very soothing too.

The story is SO good and so witty. I absolutely adore the HP books and have listened to them zillions of times. Despite being 49yo, I find them immensely calming and I think they're phenomenally good, and Stephen Fry's narration is exceptional.

When this book popped up on my Audible, I only semi noticed it to start with. Then I read the reviews and I'm so glad that listeners had taken the time to review it because it gave me the spur to listen... and it was complete entertainment, from start to finish (also I slowed it down a bit, so got it to last for an extra hour ;-) ).

If you are a Harry Potter fan, I highly recommend listening to this book. It celebrates the HP books beautifully and is incredibly funny too. I congratulate MJ Ware on writing something so enjoyable and also so inoffensive as regards the 'originals'. It's a real treat and I've already listened to it several times and will continue to do so. If one is feeling stressed in life, it's the perfect antidote!

An alternative perspective on chamber of secret

Having just finished another read through the HP story i needed a quick fix to ease my back to normality and this popped up.
It was so surprisingly good i was hooked and finished in two sittings. The story line fits in perfectly with the events of the chamber of secrets and beautifully fills some of the latter’s plot holes.
The narration, while not in the league of stephen fry, is so zany that it just adds to the magic and humour.
I laughed a lot, definitely worth a read/listen if you’re into this world. I have my fingers crossed for more in the future.

Really stupid

I really enjoyed how everyone was supposed to have an English accent and some of the name changes (copyright purposes of course) but the chapter numbers were mixed up

The gap between the end of a chapter and the start of a chapter is quite large.

I didn’t like the amount of swear words but everything else was so good I have read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Actually really good!

I bought this as a chance, thinking of probably returning it. But in reality, i think it's as good (in some ways better) than actual chamber of secrets! the only problems is that most of the characters don't have a British accent, but it doesn't change the story unless you're looking for a sprinkly lovely dovely smugly story and your a perfect human ( on earth classed as an alien 👽 )

A must read for HP fans

this was just amazing, the way he bends the real story, where it is still basically true to the original storyline just from another angle, the best non-Harry-Potter Harry Potter book I have ever "read"

just a phenomenal job! 😍😍
