Congrats Mr.Dale, you totally deserve it! I own the HBP audio one and he does snapes voice so good, and the rest of course – I dont know how he does them all.
Congratulations Mr. Dale. I have listened to all the books on CD and you do an amazing job.
This is fantastic! Congratulations Jim Dale! I too, have all the audio books on CD and it’s the way I “read” the first five books. Later on when I started reading the book books to my son I used Jim Dale’s voices and I’ll tell you it’s not easy to keep them all straight while reading out loud.
I love his McGonagall, Hagrid and (brrr) Umbridge! Dumbledore is hard on the throat but satisfyingly wise in tone. I can listen to the books over and over again and not get tired of his reading.
Well done!
I love all of the HP audio books. I have listened to them multiple times. Congrats to Mr. Dale he does great work!
Mr. Dale totally deserves this Grammy, as Deathly Hallows is quite possibly my favorite HP book that he’s worked on. Congratulations, and here’s to hearing him on Pushing Daisies again after the Writer’s Strike is over!
Deathly Hallows was my first HP audio book. I really enjoyed listening (several times) to Jim Dale.
CONGRATULATIONS Jim!
The man has golden tonsils and I never grow tired of listening to HP land via Dale. If he hadn’t won the Grammy there would have been rioting in the streets. Ok, maybe not, but we’d be WANTING riots in the street. Congratulations Jim Dale, you are the spoken voice of Harry Potter Land!
CONGRATULATIONS JIM DALE!!!!! Awesome! Can’t express my joy articulately!
It’s about time! 7 books, 7 performances, and he’s kept the voices the same across the lot. Way to go, Jim!
Yaay! Currently listening to DH on my ipod and I can’t get enough of his incredible talent!! Congratulations to him because he deserves it!
He’s fantastic. And Amy Winehouse is 4 for 4 right now!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS Mr Dale! He really deserved this award!!
Great to hear! I have all of the HP books on audio CD as well, the ones that are done by Jim Dale. And he does a fantastic job on them!
Congratulations Jim! Always the best and always our favorite!
Congratulations, Jim! I love your work for both the Harry Potter series and for Pushing Daisies! You’ve definitely earned this award!
FANTASTICO JIM!!!
Congrats on a great win!
I have now listened to series THREE times, and looking forward to fourth.
I swear his Tonks voice s ucks. That’s no way a mid-twenties woman should sound like.
