A short review of the audiobook
Ah, Harry Potter. Instead of going into much detail on the book itself (except to say that it's a surprisingly difficult read; past familiarity with the story should help tremendously, though), I'll mention here that I listened to the audiobook while reading along. The audiobook was narrated by 風間 杜夫 (Kazama Morio), who did a wonderful job, I thought: his voice is clear and easy to follow, which helps given that the audiobook and the Kindle version do not line up 100%. HP 1 must've gone through quite a few revisions while/after being translated, and while the story doesn't ever significantly differ between the two versions (it's only ever the occasional sentence), it can catch you off-guard if you're not anticipating it.
I highly recommend reading along with the audiobook to those looking to practice their listening skills; I definitely noticed how much easier it was by the end of the book. The audiobook runtime is listed at 12 hours and 44 minutes, and it breaks down nicely into listening sessions of a half hour to an hour if you listen by chapter.
