As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the enchanting world of Harry Potter, I can confidently say that Audible’s latest offering, “From the Wizarding Archive,” is an absolute treasure trove for any Potterhead. This magical journey, narrated by Evanna Lynch herself, provides an intimate glimpse into the rich tapestry of details that J.K. Rowling painstakingly wove into her beloved series.


Did you know that Harry Potter’s grandfather, Fleamont, invented the hair potion Hermione uses to tame her unruly locks for the Yule Ball in Goblet of Fire? What about the fact that Luna Lovegood was almost named Lily Moon? Ever wonder how the Marauders became Animagi?

Enthusiasts of J.K. Rowling’s enchanting mythology can now discover a wealth of details like these and more through Audible’s latest offering, “From the Wizarding Archive“, which for the first time brings the vast collection of Pottermore lore to life in an audio format.

SYFY WIRE offers a special behind-the-scenes look at the project, featuring an introductory video led by actress Evanna Lynch, who is known for her enchanting portrayal of Luna Lovegood in the blockbuster Harry Potter film series (currently available only on Peacock). Lynch joins Hugh Quarshie, Finlay Robertson, and Lara Sawalha as primary storytellers within the Wizarding Archive. This is Lynch’s second collaboration with Audible in a Potter-related project after they worked together on the audio production of The Tales of Beedle the Bard.

The actress expresses that for those aspiring to write fantasy or fiction, this collection is invaluable, almost like striking gold. At present, she’s working on a novel, though it’s not fantasy, but it does require substantial world-building before any actual writing takes place. She points out that one of the challenges of writing fiction is determining where to start and end, and it appears J.K. Rowling encountered similar difficulties. However, Rowling let her creativity run wild in various directions, which eventually benefited the story she crafted. The actress suggests that the depth of Rowling’s research and note-taking can offer solace and motivation to any fiction writer who may feel lost or uncertain about their work, reminding them that there is indeed a system behind the chaos.

Back in 2012, I stumbled upon Pottermore – a treasure trove filled with stories and insights that J.K. Rowling couldn’t squeeze into her phenomenal books. It’s brimming with intriguing backstories of characters and creatures, as well as a deep dive into the culture of Wizarding communities worldwide. Audible has breathed life into 80 of these tales and anecdotes, using captivating narration, rich soundscapes, and music by Sara Carvalho, making the experience truly immersive.

As a game enthusiast, I can’t contain my excitement! The much-anticipated audio book titled “From the Wizarding Archive” by Audible is finally releasing this coming Thursday – August 29th. Can’t wait to dive in and explore more magical secrets!
