TLC has posted an interview they had with the voice behind the Harry Potter books (for Americans at least), Jim Dale.
It's a lovely interview and I highly recommend it for all interested to know how he feels about the job, the franchise, and many tid-bits about the life of an actor.
Here's a small part:

J. K. Rowling's got a wonderful sense of humor. You can't help but laughing when you read some of the things that they get up to, and some of the descriptions are absolutely wonderful. She is, without a doubt in my mind, the cleverest writer I've ever read for children's books - that appeal to adults just as much as children, as you know. She's the very best there is, and she deserves every acclaim and every bit of success that comes her way. She deserves it, she's earned it. And she's proving that the more you get into this series, the more she's with it. These books are changing. They're changing, they're getting more serious and deeper, they'll get more romantic later on, probably - why not, that's what life's about. She's going with it, she just doesn't create these characters and lead them in a time warp. These are growing up kids, growing up year to year and the kids who are reading about them are experiencing the same growing up pains that kids are going to experience.
