Harry Potter films and the pyjama drawer mix-up

[gavel bangs] In the case of the courtroom versus Harry Potter, this is a bit of a tricky one.

The people in the courtroom who are listening at home can't see this, but there is a lumos happening right in front of me.

There's a lot of light going on in my face here.

So, um, [laughs] while I consider this case, um, I'm gonna offer a third option for getting the Harry Potter stories in your life, and I'm gonna offer you, guys, the audiobook because...

Not the Stephen Fry one.

I mean, you can have that, but they've just released some brand-new film-like audiobooks where you've got really famous actors reading out the stories.

So you get the full actual story, but you get the feeling of being in the film and watching the movie, and it's like, it's an incredible experience.

And an audiobook would be, I think, the best of both worlds, 'cause it's maybe a bit quicker than reading it, and you actually get the full story that Mom would like you to feel.

Uh, Ruby, do you think you could do that?

Yeah, I think that's a way better version though than the previous way of trying to-

Yeah, okay.

'Cause then, then you get the actual proper full-length thing, and you get to hear the whole story, and then also you can still save the film for a little bit later when you've got the story in your head, which is what Mom wants, isn't it, Ruby?

Yeah.

Okay, okay.

We might be on to something here.

Mom, how do you feel about this?

I think that sounds great.

I didn't know that was an option.

[laughs] I'm a little out of the loop on, on the audiobooks, but so that had not occurred to me-

[laughs]

... which I'm embarrassed to say, but that sounds great.

I would love to sit and we could listen to the story each night before bed a little bit.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Or you can listen in the car, you can listen, yeah, before school, after school, on the way to camp.
