Publisher's Summary
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.

Good fun if you know the books!
You need to be very familiar with the Harry Potter series, but it is lovely to hear at least some of the development and "ghost" stories.

Felt like I was reading it all for the first time
Whilst the stories have been on Pottermore for years, the audiobook version just hits different. I felt immersed in the stories of these side characters and the in-depth knowledge passed through the headphones was like a breathe of fresh Hogwarts air.

Brilliant background to the series
Loved the book. It's well written and I love the detail of the characters and JK Rawlings process to creating the series. Definitely recommend.

Keep the cursed child out of it ffs…
I liked this overall, but I absolutely hate the fact that they refer to a cursed a child as part of the HP world.

Background audio occasionally drowns out performance
Most of this is already known or doesn't feel like it adds much for it to be sold as a book. Most of the information has been released over time via Pottermore or Hogwarts Legacy ect.
