I got hooked by listening to the books on tape. Jim Dale, the man who reads the books, is amazing. I listened to all of them except book 6 (which I read myself), and I feel like everyone is missing out on something great by not listening to him read the stories.

He's won some big awards for his work on the Harry Potter series, including a Guiness World Record with book 5 for having 180 different and distinct voices for 180 different characters. Thats right, he creates a different voice for each character in the book. Even now when I read them, I hear their voices as he made them on the audio books.
