What’s truly amazing about the Harry Potter franchise, is the longevity it has enjoyed. For so many stories fade into the memories of a generation when they conclude, but this saga… continues to take flight and continues to be discovered by so many, and what’s even more incredible… is that fans still want new material. For they believe this world has so much more to explore aside from Harry’s journey and that’s given life to games untold, new stories and new movies and an immersive website, and there’s still more to come.
​
In fact, Audible is about to be host to a new Audible Original from that universe entitled, From the Wizarding Archive. Which takes 80 articles from the original Pottermore website and transforms them into audio stories, narrated by cast members from the franchise, and it won’t be long before we all get to enjoy these incredible tales. Since this original debuts on Audible on Thursday, August 29, 2024, and to properly celebrate its arrival, here are all the details on this new Audible Original, and a sneak peek clip for you to enjoy as you prepare to return to the world of Harry Potter, courtesy of Audible.  

‘Harry Potter fans are in for a treat. From the Wizarding Archive explores 80 articles written by J.K. Rowling for the original Pottermore website for the first time in audio format, debuting on Thursday, August 29 exclusively from Audible.
 
If you’ve ever wondered why Squibs are never offered a place at Hogwarts, what happened when Vernon Dursley first met James Potter, or how Dumbledore and McGonagall formed their lifelong friendship, From the Wizarding Archive should go straight to the top of your wish list.

If there’s one thing Harry Potter fans have in common (apart from impeccably good taste), it’s questions… so many questions. From the simple details that perplex us all – was Professor Umbridge always that awful? Why don’t wizards just use phones? – to the personal details that bring us closer to J.K. Rowling’s writing process – from her least favourite school subject and its impact on Professor Snape’s career, to the personal significance of King’s Cross and why it’s always where the Hogwarts Express departs – this is a veritable treasure trove of answers.

Narrated by Evanna Lynch, Hugh Quarshie, Finlay Robertson and Lara Sawalha, and with an exclusive foreword by Evanna Lynch, this spellbinding audiobook is essential listening for any Harry Potter aficionado. 
 
The articles in From the Wizarding Archive were originally written by J.K. Rowling for pottermore.com and remain free to read in English on wizardingworld.com. 35 of the 80 articles were originally published across three Pottermore Presents eBooks. This is the first time any of the content has been available in audio format.’
