"Keira Knightley and Kit Harington are among the stars joining the audiobook series, Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions.

"Mod's One Day co-star Leo Woodall will play Bill Weasley while Simon Pegg will voice Arthur Weasley. Meanwhile, James McAvoy will lend his voice to Mad-Eye Moody. Gemma Whelan has been cast as Professor Sprout and Matt Berry has also joined as Hogwarts portrait Sir Cadogan. More cast members are due to be announced later this year.

"Riz Ahmed is Professor Snape, Michelle Gomez is playing Professor McGonagall, Mark Addy is Hagrid, Alex Hassellis voicing Lucius Malfoy, Daniel Mays is to voice Dobby, and Sara and Avni Deshmukh will play the Patil Twins. Last month, Gomez responded to the backlash her casting announcement prompted. Addressing her LGBTQ+ and trans fans she said she understood the hurt felt at her being cast in a project connected to JK Rowling. The author has faced a great deal of controversy over the last five years for her outspoken, 'gender-critical' views about transgender people. "I hear you, and I understand why this is painful for many," Gomez said on Instagram. "I want to be clear that I stand with trans people, and I support trans rights - fully and without hesitation.""
