His additional work includes the scores to Twilight Saga: New Moon, Julie & Julia, Syriana and Birth. He also won a Golden Globe Award for The Painted Veil. Fox, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Queen. Also, unlike the earlier Potter tales, the far-reaching vocabulary requires about a 6th-grade education.Alexandre Desplat is a three-time Academy Award ® nominee for his scores for Fantastic Mr. Parents should know, however, that this one is a real creepfest, with the most explicitly violent scenes of any book in the series. It portrays the (now) young man as disillusioned, full of doubt, overwhelmed - a tortured soul who, though a responsible leader in an all-out war, often seems to yearn to do nothing more than sweet-talk Ginny Weasley. (Last time I checked, Rowling was outselling me by about, oh, a billion to one.) In addition, the book treats its title character with the complexity he deserves. As a writer myself, I really admire her skill. While creating yet another gripping tale, the author also ties her entire epic together with the skill of a true literary master. And how she does it is so inventive! Many throwaway moments and whispered remarks from earlier books foreshadow what happens here, and devices that had little importance before, such as Sirius's flying motorcycle, now play key roles.

Rowling wraps up her many plot points and reveals the fates of her characters in ways that almost always surprise you, but afterward seem inevitable. Listening to it all takes 21 hours! The story is dark, and too violent for younger kids, but overall one of the best in the Harry Potter series. By the way, note that this is an UNABRIDGED audio book. If you've bought any of the earlier Potter audio CDs you know what to expect: Dale narrated all of those, too. Each word is clear and easy to understand. As for Dale's accent, it's appropriately British but not at all too thick. It features the rich baritone of narrator Jim Dale, who tells the tale with just the right understated touch, supplying all of the characters' voices. This 17-disc audio version of the final Harry Potter book is a worthy way to experience the story without reading it.
