Harry Potter fans, get ready: The Harry Potter audiobooks are about to get a whole lot more immersive. Audible, in partnership with Pottermore Publishing, will release a brand-new full-cast production of all seven Harry Potter books, breathing new life into the iconic stories with more than 2,000 recording hours logged to date for these complete, unabridged editions.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the first book in the series, will debut globally on November 4. The remaining six English-language audiobooks will be released monthly after that.
These new productions will include an all-new soundscape with produced sound effects and voice actors, making for an immersive listening experience of the original books. Not only that, but the productions will be available in full Dolby Atmos, ensuring that the real-world sound effects and stunning score sound even better and more realistic. These new productions won’t replace the classic recordings by Jim Dale and Stephen Fry, but rather sit alongside them as another option for those who want to dive into the vast world of Harry Potter.
“Together with Pottermore Publishing, best-in-class producers, and over one hundred actors, we will introduce a groundbreaking new soundscape for the Wizarding World, as well as performances that will inspire our listeners’ imaginations and redefine these quintessential characters for a new generation,” said Bob Carrigan, CEO of Audible.
