Audible Launches Immersive Full-Cast Harry Potter Audio Series

Audible, the Amazon-owned audiobook platform, has unveiled a groundbreaking new series of Harry Potter audiobooks that aim to redefine the format. The company launched the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, on November 4th, with the remaining six titles in the series set to release monthly.

The new "Harry Potter: The Full Cast Audio Editions" feature a full cast of over 200 actors, including established stars like Hugh Laurie, Matthew Macfadyen, and Keira Knightley, who voice iconic characters like Albus Dumbledore, Lord Voldemort, and Professor Umbridge. The audiobooks also boast a 60-piece orchestra and cutting-edge spatial audio technology, creating an immersive, cinematic listening experience.

The company believes the full-cast format will not only appeal to existing audiobook fans but also attract new listeners, such as those who prefer film, TV, or podcasts, by offering a fresh, multi-format take on the Wizarding World.
