Potter-heads, assemble!

Wizarding World has announced that from today, it has some major HP-themed goodness in store.

An epic line-up of A-list narrators will each read a chapter of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to camera, bringing a little wizarding magic into your home during lockdown.

The line-up features mega names like Stephen Fry, David Beckham and Eddie Redmayne.


But to kick off proceedings, they've brought out the most brand-appropriate star of all.

Ladies and gents, chapter one, 'The Boy Who Lived' will be read by none other than... Harry Potter actor, Daniel Radcliffe, of course.

Talk about the perfect narrator.

During quarantine, many of us have been delving back into JK Rowling's magical book series, but this concept is something extra special.

The chapters read-throughs will be available from the Wizarding World: Harry Potter At Home hub.

Alongside Stephen Fry, David Beckham and Eddie Redmayne, stars like Dakota Fanning, Claudia Kim, Noma Dumezweni will be lending their voices and Harry Potter passion to the project.
