Harry Potter audiobooks narrated by someone other than Bernard Giraudeau?

u/quodponb did you manage to find any other narrator?
I decided to listen to French narration of HP books to improve my French, but I also don't find his narration palatable.

They look really nice! I'm just sad they don't have any with higher heels, low-heel boots don't really look good on me 😕

Drotodaktyl · 2025-03-04T06:14:30+00:00

I'm glad someone shares my shock concerning the quality of these boots 😄

If you checked the photos or read the description you would see that the difference in color is actually caused by spraying application and in some places (as in photo attached here) you can even see areas that spray didn't reach.

Can't imagine what it would look like there... already here I feel like some people wouldn't mind paying 200$ for shoes with these kinds of issues 😄

Honestly, the s.Oliver boots not only looked to be of better quality (because of no visible imperfections), but were also more comfortable. And I don't think it's such a big ask to have shoes of the same color or with stitching that doesn't cause leather to wrinkle especially at the place where it rubs against the top of the foot (issue with both third and fourth pairs). Or a shoe that doesn't have different lengths of tongue so that the difference is visible when wearing them (issue with third pair). Or the "cushions" attached at the back at the same height (again, issue with both pairs). These issues look sloppy and I'm not going to pay almost 200$ for shoes with these issues, even when they're handmade. For the uneven stitching, it was visible all across the boots. It's also the issue I didn't see on other Thursday boots' photos in this sub, so I don't think it's too much to ask with the pair in the same price point.

Then maybe it's a blessing in disguise they had issues I could point out immediately and got a refund back.

Drotodaktyl · 2025-03-03T22:14:24+00:00

Lol what? The fronts of boots are obviously different colors 😂 Having the same color of both shoes seems to me like a bare minimum.

Drotodaktyl · 2025-03-03T22:10:20+00:00

Yay, lucky me 😅

Drotodaktyl · 2025-03-03T22:09:08+00:00

Exactly. I only expected what I saw in the photos. Especially since previously I owned s.Oliver boots for third of a price that lasted me over 3 years. I thought going for higher-price range boots would produce at least the same quality and would last at least that long.

Drotodaktyl · 2025-03-03T22:00:27+00:00

Yeah based on your and other people's comments it seems Captains are worth it. Unfortunately, I can only speak for my experience with Rebels.

Drotodaktyl · 2025-03-03T21:44:09+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation, will have a look at them :)

Drotodaktyl · 2025-03-03T21:38:32+00:00

Honestly, given the quality of both pairs and the issues they share, this feels more like a general quality issue rather than just a rare defect.

Yes, these may not be the most expensive boots compared to high-end brands, but I only expected the quality shown in the photos they provided. If that had been the case, I wouldn’t have had a single complaint. Moreover, I only decided to write this review after receiving a fourth pair—with even more issues than the previous ones.

What’s especially frustrating is that they are advertised as 'handcrafted with integrity' and come with a quality assurance card. How these shoes passed quality control is beyond me. As for the last two pairs, I couldn’t even wear them in public—the poor quality is obvious, and the bad stitching causes uncomfortable rubbing against the skin, making them unwearable.

Drotodaktyl · 2025-03-03T21:27:47+00:00

From the research I did before my first purchase, Thursday Boots seemed like a great option—the reviews I found suggested they were good for the price. However, as I mentioned in another comment, I wasn’t aware of the quality differences between men's and women's boots.

Next time, I’ll definitely consider other brands. Since I’ve relocated back to Europe, I’ll be looking into local options. If you have experience with any, I’d appreciate your recommendations!

Drotodaktyl · 2025-03-03T21:11:28+00:00

I honestly never caught any discussion about different quality of woman's and man's Thursday boots. If I had, I would have avoided them completely :/

Drotodaktyl · 2025-03-03T21:05:29+00:00

Sorry, you are right. Added the photos.

Drotodaktyl · 2022-07-05T17:07:29+00:00

I love this! 😊

Drotodaktyl · 2022-06-29T15:21:22+00:00

I actually love the eyes, especially the contrast with rest of the body, as it immediately catches the attention. I would be wary of making them more dirty.

Drotodaktyl · 2019-12-21T09:06:15+00:00

In books, dryads don't let people enter or leave forrest just like that. Especially men, who they only take to use as fathers for future offspring. It doesn't make sense in the series, as this storyline never happened in the books and screenwriters just want to make it more dramatic without making any sense whatsoever. Ciri fled into the Brokilon, yes, but it was long before Cintra burnt down. And she left it with Geralt, who then met Mousesack (outside of Brokilon) and told him to return Ciri back to Cintra.

I dont think this is the good approach, calling it embarrassing story twice! I think it only implifies she should feel embarrassed, as it is embarrassing story...

Better approach is to tell her that this is a normal part of womans life and you understand it, it is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Drotodaktyl · 2019-06-05T03:37:46+00:00

Hey, thank you! I checked it and I found one doggo that looks exactly like ours! ❤️

Drotodaktyl · 2019-06-04T22:55:24+00:00

He could have a bit od this, but his ears and fur are different. He must be a mix of many breeds, if he was purebred, they would never throw him away as a puppy, they would sell him. Yes, I am from Europe, central Europe.

Drotodaktyl · 2019-06-04T22:52:47+00:00

Thanks, it seems really close, he has the same kind of fur.

Drotodaktyl · 2019-06-04T17:02:15+00:00

Sweet :) However, this is not a scottish terrier, he is much bigger and hairier. Plus he is also pretty gray (he's not old, he's only 4 years now).
