Audible will release full-cast audio adaptations of all seven Harry Potter books between November 2025 and May 2026, featuring over 200 voice actors including Kit Harington, Ruth Wilson, James McAvoy, and Keira Knightley. The release coincides with a sizable boycott of the franchise driven by backlash to J.K. Rowling's anti-trans statements, which urges avoiding Harry Potter merchandise and related projects. Keira Knightley, voicing Professor Umbridge, said she was not aware of the boycott, apologized, and expressed hope that people with differing opinions can find respect and learn to live together. Other actors have publicly supported or criticized Rowling, and Emma Watson publicly disagreed with Rowling's views while saying she still treasures her, prompting a rebuttal from Rowling on X.
