Pottermore Publishing and Audible have announced major new casting for Harry Potter: The Full Cast Audio Editions, expanding the already impressive line-up to more than 200 actors.
Among the latest names confirmed are 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.
James McAvoy said: “I am absolutely thrilled to bring the fiercely determined Mad-Eye Moody to life in these dynamic audio editions from Pottermore and Audible. He’s a layered character, constantly shifting between battle-hardened intensity and unexpected moments of wisdom. Capturing his commanding presence was incredibly fun.”
Leo Woodall added: “In creating Bill Weasley’s adventures through voice, it is genuinely special to be part of bringing this world to life in a new way for listeners.
“From the stellar cast to the immersive sound world that Pottermore and Audible have put together, listeners everywhere will be given a new way to be transported directly into these celebrated stories.”
This announcement follows previous casting news, which confirmed Cush Jumbo OBE as narrator, Hugh Laurie as Dumbledore, Matthew Macfadyen as Voldemort, Riz Ahmed as Snape, Michelle Gomez as McGonagall, Mark Addy as Hagrid, Alex Hassell as Lucius Malfoy, Daniel Mays as Dobby, and Sara and Avni Deshmukh as the Patil Twins. Frankie Treadaway, Max Lester, and Arabella Stanton will voice Harry, Ron and Hermione in the first three audiobooks, with Jaxon Knopf, Rhys Mulligan, and Nina Barker-Francis taking over from the fourth book onwards.
The series will be released in stages, starting with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone on 4 November 2025. Chamber of Secrets follows on 16 December 2025, with new instalments arriving monthly until the final release, Deathly Hallows, on 12 May 2026.
