Harry Potter and the Cursed Child audiobook released on RNIB Library 2:30 PM EDT, AUGUST 16, 2016 Hypable by ANDREW SIMS A Harry Potter and the Cursed Child audiobook has been released on the Royal National Institute of Blind People's Talking Books library, for those in the U.K. with sight loss. Many Harry Potter fans have been hoping for a Cursed Child audiobook since the script book was released on July 31. While there are no plans for a wide release, an audiobook version of the eighth story does exist exclusively on the RNIB Library. Braille and large print editions of The Cursed Child are also available on the RNIB Library. A rep for J.K. Rowling tells us that the Cursed Child audio edition in the Talking Books library is "available to their members in specific, secure formats and is standard practice for all their publishing in order to make a book as accessible as possible." A sample of the audio edition can be found on RNIB's website. From listening to it we've learned that this book has one narrator acting out all of the characters. The script book is read exactly as it is printed, with the name of the character being read before each line is said, and the narrator puts some emotion into each line. Rowling's rep tells Hypable that outside of the book on RNIB, there "are no plans currently for the general release of an audio edition of the script book." The lack of a wider release for people outside of the sight loss community may have to do with the fact that the script book only exists because of the play. If an audio book were to be released to the masses, it could affect ticket sales for the play, since an audiobook of a stage show, if done properly, would likely have multiple narrators to cover all the voices. The audiobooks for the original Harry Potter series were narrated by Stephen Fry in the United Kingdom and Jim Dale in the United States. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
