If you’ve ever wondered why Squibs are never offered a place at Hogwarts, what happened when Vernon Dursley first met James Potter, or how Dumbledore and McGonagall formed their lifelong friendship, From the Wizarding Archive should go straight to the top of your wish list. Containing 80 articles written by J.K. Rowling for the original Pottermore website and available for the first time in audio, exclusively from Audible, Harry Potter fans everywhere are in for a treat.
If there’s one thing Harry Potter fans have in common (apart from impeccably good taste), it’s questions… so many questions. From the simple details that perplex us all – was Professor Umbridge always that awful? Why don’t wizards just use phones? – to the personal details that bring us closer to J.K. Rowling’s writing process – from her least favourite school subject and its impact on Professor Snape’s career, to the personal significance of King’s Cross and why it’s always where the Hogwarts Express departs – this is a veritable treasure trove of answers.
Narrated by Evanna Lynch, Hugh Quarshie, Finlay Robertson and Lara Sawalha, and with an exclusive foreword by Evanna Lynch, this spellbinding audiobook is essential listening for any Harry Potter aficionado.
The articles in From the Wizarding Archive were originally written by J.K. Rowling for pottermore.com and remain free to read in English on wizardingworld.com. 35 of the 80 articles were originally published across three Pottermore Presents eBooks. This is the first time any of the content has been available in audio format.
Theme music composed by Sara Carvalho.
Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Great Rowling stuff, horrible introductions

The introductions are entirely different, If you only saw the movies, read the books only once, read them a long time ago or love going down memory lane, the intros are fine. If you've read the books many times, the intros are ANNOYING! the intros are either a rehash of the books regards the content of the article or asking questions that the article answers (why bother?) The rehash intros are like "When Draco first met Harry, he tried to be Harry's friend but quickly found it wasn't going to happen."
To put it simply, the intros are useless fillers that have no purpose other than to get the length of the book to be longer, which is unnecessary. The Rowling material is fantastic and I'd happily buy a Rowling only version with none of the intros.
