Revelio! The new *Harry Potter* cast has been revealed for all seven audiobooks.

** has learned that a new group of actors are taking over the iconic roles for Pottermore Publishing and Audible's productions of J.K. Rowling's original seven books about the young boy wizard.

'Harry Potter' audiobook cast revealed.

*House* alum Hugh Laurie stars as Albus Dumbledore, with *Succession* alum Matthew Macfadyen playing Lord Voldemort, *Sound of Metal *star Riz Ahmed as Professor Snape, *Doctor Who* alum Michelle Gomez as Professor McGonagall, and *The Good Wife* alum Cush Jumbo as the narrator.

"I'm honoured to have been trusted with the keys to Albus Dumbledore, and thrilled to be able to take him around the track of this beautiful incarnation by Pottermore and Audible," Laurie said in a statement. "I'm also deeply conscious of previous drivers Richard Harris, Michael Gambon, Jude Law, and the iconic narrations by Jim Dale and m'colleague Sir Stephen Fry. Just below the horizon, but headed our way, is the rough beast John Lithgow, his hour come 'round at last. This is great company, and it's a privilege to be among their number."

HBO conjures first look at Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter for new series

Meanwhile two groups of young actors will portray the main trio of wizards across the seven audiobooks: Frankie Treadaway, Max Lester, and Arabella Stanton will play Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger respectively in the first three, while Jaxon Knopf, Rhys Mulligan, and Nina Barker-Francis will take over the roles of older Harry, Ron, and Hermione respectively beginning in the fourth through to the seventh and final audiobook.

If Stanton's name sounds familiar, that's because she will also play Hermione in the upcoming HBO TV series. Gotta love that synergy! Stanton will be seen onscreen alongside Dominic McLaughlin as Harry and Alastair Stout as Ron, as well as Lithgow as Dumbledore.

Matthew Macfadyen joins 'Harry Potter' audiobooks.

*Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions* feature over 200 actors performing the stories with "immersive audio entertainment through high-quality sound design in Dolby Atmos, stunning scoring ... original music, and real-world sound capture," according to the official release. Production is "nearly wrapped" now, with over 2,000 recording hours logged so far.

Additional cast members will be announced at a later date.
