With anticipation building for the HBO Original Harry Potter series, fans have another exciting way to immerse themselves in the Wizarding World. A new collection of full-cast audiobooks is now available, bringing J.K. Rowling’s original stories to life in a fresh, theatrical way.

Three audiobooks, covering Philosopher’s Stone, Chamber of Secrets, and Prisoner of Azkaban, have already been released. This project features a completely separate cast from the upcoming HBO television series, which is set to premiere in early 2027. However, there is one exciting crossover for fans to note: the talented Arabella Stanton portrays Hermione Granger in both the new audio productions and the highly anticipated HBO show. Her voice will already be familiar to many by the time the series hits screens.

The audiobooks have gathered an incredible ensemble of actors. Listeners will hear the likes of Hugh Laurie as Albus Dumbledore, Matthew MacFadyen as Voldemort, and Riz Ahmed taking on the role of Severus Snape. Other notable names lending their voices include Simon Pegg as Arthur Weasley, Michelle Gomez as Minerva McGonagall, and Mark Addy as Rubeus Hagrid. The immersive soundscapes and extensive cast, which numbers in the hundreds, allow for a deep dive into every character and detail of the beloved saga.

While fans enjoy these captivating audio journeys, remember that the HBO series will feature its own fantastic ensemble, distinct from the audiobook cast, with the exception of Arabella Stanton. For instance, John Lithgow will portray Albus Dumbledore and Paapa Essiedu is cast as Severus Snape in the HBO adaptation. Dominic McLaughlin will bring Harry Potter to life on screen.

These audio editions offer a unique opportunity to revisit the magic and get ready for the grand television adaptation currently in production at Leavesden Studios. Keep an eye on HarryPotterTVSeries.com for all the latest news on the HBO series as we approach the early 2027 premiere!
