We can not only enjoy Harry Potter through his books, movies and video games, but also through his audio bookswhere some actors and announcers have fully narrated the adventures of the boy who survived with a result that is nothing short of commendable in different languages, including English. This is the case with Stephen Fry, despite his problems with three words.
During a talk, the British actor and comedian explained how in The Prisoner of Azkaban he met a line that always got stuckso much so that he even called JK Rowling in the hope of being able to modify it: “It’s only three words. It’s ridiculous, three words. I couldn’t say them,” he said despite considering himself quite good at reading aloud without stumbling. .

“I can’t say ‘Harry pocketed it'”
The phrase in question read like this (in English): “Harry pocketed it.” Even as he remembered it in the talk collected by the BBC, he had trouble saying it in a row. “You see, I can say ‘Harry,’ I can say ‘pocketed,’ and I can say ‘it,’ but I can’t say ‘Harry pocketed it,'” Fry explained with a laugh. While recording, he had no choice but to put it aside for a while. , and as we said, call Rowling:
“I said, ‘Look, do you care? I can’t say ‘Harry pocketed it’. Would it be okay if I said ‘Harry put it in his pocket’? There was then a great silence and she answered ‘No’ in her best witch voice. I could hear her smile as she said it. (…) I wanted the audiobook to be completewithout modifications, because I felt that if children read it and listened to it at the same time they would feel upset.
The phrase “He put it in his pocket” remained intact in English and Stephen Fry, after many attempts, nailed the line. The problem? She was found again in the following books. In fact, and as recalled on Reddit, is present in at least six deliveries of the saga, in some cases several times, which has become a rather funny anecdote among fans: “I laugh every time he says it.”
And what about you, have you listened to any audiobooks? The one from Harry Potter himself? After its success in film and video games, Harry Potter is now preparing to make the leap to the small screen. The fiction will begin filming next summer and names have already begun to be heard for its teaching staff, but not for its leading trio. We remember that a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy is also in development.
