Since the Pandemicpandemic, J.K. Rowling released Stephen Fry's version of the audio book for free. However, the Jim Dale version is 8 hours 18 minutes and Stephen Fry's version is 9 hours 33 minutes. I know some audio books are released as "reenactments" were voice actors play different characters, there's music generally, and they skip over certain descriptions of what the characters are doing in the text. I don't believe Stephen Fry's version is anything like that, so I'm having trouble figuring out why there's a time difference. If I choose to listen to Jim Dale's 8 hour reading instead of Stephen Fry's 9 hour reading, will I be missing several chapters of the book? Or did they just add extra stuff like interviews from Rowling and Stephen Fry?

Why is Stephen Fry's narration of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone an hour longer than Jim Dale's on Audible?
