Jude Law voices Dumbledore in the audio book “The Tales of Beedle the Bard”
Jude Law, Warwick Davis and Bonnie Wright are among the stars who lend their voices to the new audio recording of JK Rowling’s The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
The collection of stories, mentioned in the Harry Potter books and described as a “translation of the original runes by Hermione Granger,” includes “The Tale of the Three Brothers,” which played a crucial role in the plot of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”
The wizarding stories are accompanied by explanatory notes from Hogwarts headmaster Professor Albus Dumbledore.
The notes will be read by Law, who plays young Dumbledore in the Fantastic Beasts film series, while Davis, who played Professor Filius Flitwick in the Harry Potter films, will read the story “The Wizard and the Hopping Pot.”
Noma Dumezweni, who played Hermione Granger in the original West End and Broadway productions of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, will read The Tale of the Three Brothers, and Jason Isaacs, who played Lucius Malfoy in the Potter films, will read The Hairy Heart of the Sorcerer.
Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood, reads The Fountain Of Fair Fortune and Wright, best known for her portrayal of Ginny Weasley, reads Babbitty Rabbitty And Her Cackling Stump.
Sally Mortemore, who played Hogwarts librarian Madam Pince, reads Rowling’s introduction.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard were originally handwritten and illustrated by JK Rowling and published in a limited edition of only seven copies, one of which was auctioned for charity in 2007.
It was then published in 2008 and sold to benefit Rowling’s children’s charity Lumos.
From March 31st, the stories will be available for the first time as audiobooks on Audible, also in aid of Lumos.
Diana Dapito, a spokeswoman for Audible, said: “We are excited to bring together fan-favorite artists from across the Wizarding World for this unforgettable listening experience.”
