About this listen

Immerse yourself in the stories like never before; wear headphones for the best experience.

Get ready to be transported to the world of Harry Potter in a captivating production that features hundreds of unique voices and immersive sound design that brings the wizarding world vividly to life in Dolby Atmos. You’ll hear footsteps echoing through the corridors of Hogwarts and the heart-racing whoosh of the Golden Snitch as it darts past your ears in the heat of a Quidditch match. Also featuring an electrifying new musical score, The Full-Cast Audio Editions present J.K. Rowling’s iconic series as a truly spellbinding listening event for the whole family.

Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H.’

Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Having become classics of our time, the Harry Potter stories never fail to bring comfort and escapism. With their message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new listeners.

Starring Frankie Treadaway as Harry Potter, Max Lester as Ron Weasley, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, Hugh Laurie as Albus Dumbledore, Riz Ahmed as Professor Snape, Michelle Gomez as Professor McGonagall, Matthew Macfadyen as Lord Voldemort, Cush Jumbo as Narrator, and a full cast.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Editorial Review

Harry Potter like you’ve never heard it before
As a mother of elementary school children, nothing delights me more than seeing my kids begin to fall in love with the stories that empowered and inspired me when I was young. What’s even more special is that with this new full-cast audio edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, new audiences and established fans (like me!) will find it equally enchanting. The breathtaking sound design, immersive score, and outstanding performances by hundreds of actors had my kids on the edge of their seats, and I was squealing with delight right alongside them. Even if you know everything there is to know about Harry Potter, you’ve never heard it quite like this—and if you’re new to the stories, there has never been a better way to dive in. —Esther B., Audible Editor

I genuinely have nothing critical to say about this. I was a bit hesitant at first as I love the original stories so much, and had seen a couple of tepid reviews, but the care and effort that has gone into this has BLOWN my mind. It is exactly like what I wish the films were. The sound effects are tasteful, they don’t sound overdone at all or drown out the narration (it really is like a film!), they have stayed true to the original books and haven’t done an abridgement or a reimagining (which I am so happy about), amazing voices, attention to detail, music, everything. It also sounds beautiful in my AirPods. Wow wow wow. Magical. Please ignore any bad reviews of this. I love Stephen Fry of course, but this is a whole other kettle of fish. Simply cannot wait for the rest. Bravo Audible.


EDIT; Just finished it. It’s fantastic. If you’re reading reviews not sure whether you’ll like it, bear in mind that people in the comments aren’t listening to it how they’re meant to (it even says in the description to use headphones FFS). That’s on them. I also listened to this on my alexa whilst cooking and it sounded great. Not sure how these people are listening to it, but don’t let their ignorance sway your opinion. Also Voldemort without the T is technically correct, wish people would stop harping on about that too!

Pure escapism and magic.

As an avid listener to the original Stephen Fry audio books I was cautiously tentative about moving to a new format. I am not (thus far) disappointed. The full cast format is excellent and brings a new sense of depth to the story. Close your eyes and drift into Hogwarts! The narration is beautiful and all the characters are well delivered. Simply excellent. It will never replace the originals, but will complement them.

Incredible richness

This isn’t just an audio ‘book’ - it’s an experience…truely unique and immersive, like them or not Amazon have smashed it with this production (along with the great voice acting).
Negative feedback about some of the sound effects I probably feel is a little unfair, as it’s been made fairly clear that’s what this product is. If you want a regular audio book then listen to Stephen fry’s amazing interpretation. So far there is certainly room for both versions in the market.

An Experience

Story is well known and excellent. Cast was good and well chosen. However this is just a narrated story with a cast. The narrator was ok. The voices were very quiet in places and some of the sound effects were not clear or at times unnecessary. This could have been amazing but I'm not quite sure they have the formula right. I did enjoy however and cast did a great job. I'll be interested to see if they make changes for future productions.

Great story and cast but.....

Really enjoyed this. Takes me back when I use to listen to story cassette tapes. Hope they will do the rest.

Awesome.
