You can enjoy the world of Harry Potter with these new audiobooks. The first part of a new Harry Potter audio series is now available. It has a full group of actors, and it makes the books more vivid with music, sound effects and actors’ voices for all the different characters.
Junior talked with Frankie, Arabella and Max about their work on the series. The three said they usually record their lines alone. This sometimes makes them feel a bit silly. Max said he feels especially silly when he has to pretend to laugh while recording. “I always feel weird,” he said, “because nothing is funny at that moment.”
Arabella said one of her favourite recording moments was when Hermione turns into a cat. “I had to use a very, very high voice. It was so squeaky,” she said. Frankie’s favourite moments were the wand-fighting scenes. He said it was fun because “it’s like having a battle, but without actually fighting”.
The three actors think they are very similar to their characters. Frankie said he likes to tell sarcastic jokes sometimes, just like Harry. Max is like Ron because he has a big appetite and is quite cheeky. Arabella loves reading books, just like Hermione.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (Full-Cast Edition) is now on Audible. The next Harry Potter audiobook will come out in December, and the other five will be released one by one every month.
