J.K. Rowling’s articles, which explore the intricacies of Harry Potter and the Wizarding World, are being adapted into audio format for the first time. These 80 articles will be released later this month on Audible .

“From the Wizarding Archive” is a collection of 80 articles originally written by Rowling for the Pottermore website, which is now defunct. The audio series is set to debut on Thursday, Aug. 29, exclusively on Amazon’s Audible.

Separately, Audible has a deal with Rowling’s Pottermore Publishing to co-produce a new audiobook series for the original seven Harry Potter novels . The new audiobooks, featuring a voice cast of more than 100 actors, are scheduled to premiere in late 2025 exclusively on Audible.

Rowling herself did not contribute her voice to “From the Wizarding Archive.” The audio series is narrated by four actors — Evanna Lynch, Hugh Quarshie, Finlay Robertson and Lara Sawalha — and begins with an exclusive introduction by Lynch.

“If you’ve ever pondered why Squibs are never offered a place at Hogwarts, what transpired when Vernon Dursley first met James Potter, or how Dumbledore and McGonagall forged their lifelong friendship, ‘From the Wizarding Archive’ should be at the top of your reading list,” Audible stated in its announcement of the series.

Other inquiries that “From the Wizarding Archive” promises to address include whether Professor Umbridge “was always that awful” and why wizards refrain from using phones for communication. The series will also provide “the personal insights that bring us closer to J.K. Rowling’s writing process,” according to Audible — from her least favorite school subject and its effect on Professor Snape’s career, to the personal significance of the King’s Cross rail station and why it’s consistently where the Hogwarts Express departs.

The articles in “From the Wizarding Archive” were initially written by Rowling for the pottermore.com website; they remain available to read in English on wizardingworld.com. Out of the 80 articles, 35 were initially published across three Pottermore Presents eBooks.

Rowling’s final installment in the Harry Potter series, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” was released in 2007 — however, the franchise has maintained a strong following all these years later. Among other projects, Warner Bros. Discovery is developing a new television series for Max based on the books with a tentative release date of 2026. In recent years, Rowling has distanced herself from many Harry Potter fans with remarks that have been criticized as being anti-trans.
