Hey, Master Lawdog. I finally finished Deathly Hallows a couple months ago. Great job. Your work was a great help in getting me through the latter half of the series in particular as I’m not much of an avid reader. I have to really be in the right mindset for it, and I need certain things to help keep me focused. I have a friend who’s a big Harry Potter fan, hasn’t read the books in a long time, and has been looking to do so again. I told them to give your audiobooks a try. Do you think I could get a link from you that I can then forward to them?

Five chapters left!

Sweet! So did you fix your issue with Chapter 31?

Just finished Half-Blood Prince finally. Now all that’s left to do is wait for Deathly Hallows to drop. Can hardly contain my excitement.

Hey, Master Lawdog

I just want to say thanks for all the work you’ve put into this project. You’ve greatly enhanced the experience of reading the books for me. I’m currently on chapter 13 of the Half-Blood Prince and I can hardly wait for when you release Deathly Hallows.

I also want to say that you’ve actually inspired me to tackle a similar project. As I’m writing this I’ve actually begun working on making similarly enhanced editions of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings by editing Howard Shore’s music from Peter Jackson’s film adaptations to match up to the Andy Serkis narrated audiobooks. I’m currently on chapter 1 of The Hobbit, and almost 14 minutes in, I think it’s going pretty well so far.

That’s great to hear! I’m happy that you’re enjoying this project. I had no idea that Andy Serkis did audiobooks for Tolkien’s work.

I don’t blame you. They’re fairly recent releases. Yes, he does his Gollum voice from the films. Obviously. And yes. It’s amazing. Really looking forward to editing Riddles in the Dark.

Have you ever considered also using the music from the video game tie-ins, as well as from Bakshi and Rankin/Bass’ adaptations? It will give you more music to use, which is what I did for Harry Potter.

I have considered using music from the Rankin/Bass and Bakshi adaptations. But I’ve ultimately decided against it as they might clash somewhat with the tone that I’m going for in this edit. I think using the video game soundtracks as well as the films was the right call on your part for Potter, because they’re both amazing and they capture the same whimsical and, dare I say, magical tone. The earlier soundtracks especially. But I’m afraid I personally can’t say the same principle applies when it comes to the soundtracks for adaptations of Tolkien’s work. I’ll just make do with the Jackson soundtracks and maybe a few fan covers of the songs that have lyrics that I might find on YouTube.

Any noteworthy updates regarding your progress on Deathly Hallows chapters wise? Also, are you planning on doing this with any other audiobooks once you’re done with Harry Potter?

Hi there. Great work. Really enjoying listening to Order of the Phoenix right now. how far along are you with Deathly Hallows right now? Have you made it to the Gringotts heist or the Battle of Hogwarts yet?

These sound awesome. As a life long HP fan I’d love to listen to these as I’m just starting to get into audiobooks.
