More big stars are lending their voices to Audible’s seven-part audiobook adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” books.
Those joining the cast in several fan-favorite roles include: Kit Harington as Professor Lockhart; Keira Knightley as Professor Umbridge; Iwan Rheon as Professor Lupin; Ruth Wilson as Bellatrix Lestrange; Ambika Mod as Nymphadora Tonks; Leo Woodall as Bill Weasley; Simon Pegg as Arthur Weasley; James McAvoy as Mad-Eye Moody; Gemma Whelan as Professor Sprout; and Matt Berry as Sir Cadogan.
The first audiobook, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” is scheduled to be released on Nov. 4, 2025, exclusively on Audible, with each of the remaining six English-language audiobooks releasing monthly worldwide.
It’s the third batch of casting announced for “Harry Potter: The Full Cast Audio Editions.” The latest group will join Hugh Laurie as Albus Dumbledore, Matthew Macfadyen as Lord Voldemort, Riz Ahmed as Professor Snape, Michelle Gomez as Professor McGonagall, and Cush Jumbo as the narrator. Last week, Audible and Pottermore announced Mark Addy as Hagrid, Alex Hassell as Lucius Malfoy, Daniel Mays as Dobby, and Sara and Avni Deshmukh as the Patil Twins.
Young actors Frankie Treadaway, Max Lester and Arabella Stanton will play Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger respectively in audiobooks 1-3. (Stanton is also playing Hermione in HBO’s “Harry Potter” TV series, which is currently in production in the U.K.) Jaxon Knopf, Rhys Mulligan and Nina Barker-Francis will assume the same roles (Harry, Ron, and Hermione respectively) in audiobooks 4-7.
Additional casting for the Harry Potter audiobooks will be announced this fall, the companies said.
