Stephen Fry, who narrates the UK English editions of the audiobooks, says: ‘These statistics are astonishing. Go through Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry more than 14,000 times!.Listen to Harry Potter books 1-7 read by Jim Dale 8,547,009 times.Take the iconic train journey from King’s Cross to Edinburgh 222 million times.To help you visualise that figure, in one billion hours you could hypothetically:
Pottermore Publishing and Audible have announced an extraordinary milestone – over one billion hours of the Harry Potter stories have now been listened to on Audible globally, since the audiobooks were first made available there seven years ago! Mind you, that’s just a number (even if it is a massive one)! What’s immeasurable is the love that fans have for these stories.
