Yesterday morning the phone rang. Who was on the other end but Jim Dale, the actor who reads all the parts for the Harry Potter audiobooks (ok, it was a recorded message, but still!), reminding me that I have to pick up my reserved copy of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” between midnight Friday and Sunday afternoon. Heavy artillery, huh?
For fun, click on the biography link at his home page, then click on the cartoons link on the left. You’ll find a group of Hirschfeld cartoons depicting Dale in various roles on Broadway.
What a clever way to remind you about the book! (brings to mind those Ahnold recordings from back around the election!)
I was all set to get involved in the hoopla again, but my mom volunteered to get us the book in California and send it home with Maddy.
Yeah, I thought so too. If only he’d done it in character!
