The Second Harry Potter Full-Cast Audiobook Launches Next Week on Audible
Audible’s new Harry Potter full-cast audiobook series is already receiving its second entry. This new form of the Harry Potter books kicked off just last month with a unique interpretation of The Sorcerer’s Stone, and you’ll soon be able to listen to the second book starting on December 16.
If you’re curious about this series, you can currently grab a free 30-day trial of Audible directly from Amazon to listen at no cost. Audible is also still running a deal that gets you three months of the service for only $0.99 until December 16. I had the chance to listen to the full audiobook for The Sorcerer’s Stone when it released in November and genuinely loved it. At just over eight hours, I though it was a unique experience that landed somewhere between reading the books and watching the films. I’ll definitely be listening to The Chamber of Secrets as soon as it comes out.
Audible has already announced release dates for the full line-up of these audiobooks. All seven of the books in the series will be getting the full-cast treatment with new releases every month from now until May 2026.
Who’s in the Voice Cast?
The official Harry Potter website released a full list of voice actors we know about after the first audiobook. More cast announcements are on their way for the second book, but here’s the core list of names we know so far:
- Hugh Laurie as Dumbledore
- Matthew Macfadyen as Voldemort
- Riz Ahmed as Snape
- Michelle Gomez as McGonagall
- Mark Addy as Rubeus Hargrid
- Adeel Akhtar as Argus Filch
- Jude Farant as Draco Malfoy
- Cush Jumbo as Narrator
- Frankie Treadway as Harry (Books 1-3)
- Max Lester as Ron (Books 1-3)
- Arabella Stanton as Hermione (Books 1-3)
- Jaxon Knopf as Harry (Books 4-7)
- Rhys Mulligan as Ron (Books 4-7)
- Nina Barker-Francis (Books 4-7)
As you may have noticed, the voice actors for Harry, Ron, and Hermione are the same for the first three books and then shift to new people. This is due to Audible launching all of these audiobooks within the span of seven months rather than over years of time. We don’t yet know what these character’s voices will sound like in the jump between The Prisoner of Azkaban and The Goblet of Fire, but we can assume that they will be more mature.
