The wait for the HBO Harry Potter series just got a little more magical, as fans will soon hear star Arabella Stanton bring Hermione Granger to life even before the television adaptation hits screens. Stanton, who is officially cast as Hermione in the upcoming HBO Original series, is reportedly voicing the iconic witch in a new Audible production of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

This is exciting news for those of us counting down to the TV series, as it offers a unique opportunity to experience Stanton's interpretation of Hermione early on. It will be fascinating to hear how she embodies the character's intelligence, wit, and bossy charm, setting expectations for her performance in the highly anticipated live-action show.

Our HBO series is confirmed as a "faithful adaptation" of J.K. Rowling's original seven books, with plans for seven seasons spanning a decade. The production is deep into filming its first season, which began in the summer of 2025, with an official release window set for early 2027. This Audible project gives us a delightful preview of one of our main trio long before we see them on screen.
