The voice actors for Pottermore Publishing and Audible’s upcoming full-cast editions of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter audiobooks have been revealed, Deadline reports.
Cush Jumbo, known for her roles in The Good Fight and Criminal Record, will narrate the seven audiobooks. The role of Harry Potter will be played by Frankie Treadaway in the first three audiobooks and Jaxon Knopf in the final four. Arabella Stanton and Nina Barker-Francis will play Hermione Granger, while Max Lester and Rhys Mulligan will play Ron Weasley; they will also split the roles between the first three books and the last four.
Hugh Laurie (House, Veep) will play Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Riz Ahmed (Nightcrawler, Sound of Metal) will lend his voice to professor Severus Snape, with Michelle Gomez (Bad Education, Doctor Who) as professor Minerva McGonagall. Matthew Macfadyen (Pride and Prejudice, Succession) will play the evil Lord Voldemort.
More than 200 actors altogether will perform in the audiobooks. Further casting news is expected later this year.
Two sets of Harry Potter audiobooks have been previously released, with Stephen Fry narrating the U.K. editions and Jim Dale lending his voice to the American ones.
The casting news for the new audiobooks comes just over two months after HBO announced the young stars of its upcoming series adaptation of Rowling’s novels.
The first of the full-cast audiobook editions, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, will be released on November 4, with the following six books set for release from December of 2025 through May of 2026.
