Hugh Laurie, Matthew Macfadyen Lead New Harry Potter Full-Cast Audiobooks

Pottermore Publishing and Audible are releasing a new full-cast audiobook series of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels titled Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions, featuring over 200 actors and immersive Dolby Atmos sound design. Hugh Laurie will voice Albus Dumbledore, Matthew Macfadyen will portray Lord Voldemort, Riz Ahmed will be Professor Snape, Michelle Gomez will voice Professor McGonagall, and Cush Jumbo will serve as the narrator. The main trio—Harry, Ron, and Hermione—will be voiced by Frankie Treadaway, Max Lester, and Arabella Stanton for the first three books, with Jaxon Knopf, Rhys Mulligan, and Nina Barker-Francis taking over for books four through seven; Stanton also plays Hermione in the upcoming HBO TV adaptation. The series, which aims to provide an immersive audio experience with original music and sound capture, will begin releasing in November 2025 with monthly installments continuing through May 2026. This production complements previous single-voice audiobook versions narrated by Jim Dale and Stephen Fry, with Laurie expressing honor at joining such distinguished company.
