Yoto has announced plans to release the full series of the Harry Potter digital audiobooks, featuring all 124 hours of the original narration by Stephen Fry (UK), Jim Dale (USA), Carlos Ponce (LATAM Spanish) and Bernard Giraudeau (French). The new offering is available to download, with Yoto cards on sale individually and in various bundle options, bringing the wizarding world of Harry Potter to life on a new platform for children ages 7 and up. 

The Harry Potter Yoto cards each feature illustrations inspired by scenes from the books. Also, for the first time, the cards will feature luxury colored foil and texture effects, enhancing fans’ journey through the wizarding world and making each set collectible.

“Ever since Yoto’s launch in 2020, we’ve received a constant stream of emails, DMs, letters and comments, crying out for the Harry Potter series on Yoto,” says Ben Drury, co-founder, chief executive officer, Yoto. “Our vision for Yoto has always been to be the best children’s audio platform in the world, so having Harry’s iconic adventures in our catalog is a huge moment for us. We know that incredible audio has the ability to unlock children’s imaginations, much like the Harry Potter series has done for nearly three decades. This announcement will make a lot of Yoto families very happy indeed.”

“Welcoming the Harry Potter series to Yoto is one of our proudest moments as a leader in children’s audio, where our focus is always on bringing the best content to our customers,” says Jessica Tarrant, content director, Yoto. “As our biggest and most-requested launch to date, we’ve worked magic touches into every part of this much-anticipated release, including creating over 200 custom chapter pixel images and introducing our first-ever embossed and foiled cards, adding a tactile element that will make the experience even more special for Harry Potter fans. These beautifully crafted cards are not only a gateway to spellbinding adventures but are also cherished collectibles that children will treasure.”

“We’re so pleased to announce this new collaboration with Yoto and to launch these magical stories onto their platform,” says Jennie McCann, managing director, Pottermore Publishing. “Finding ways to introduce each new generation to the world of Harry Potter is at the core of what we do, and we’re certain Yoto’s innovative audio players will make listening a fun, escapist experience for huge numbers of children over the years to come.”

The Harry Potter series of Yoto cards are on sale on all markets of the Yoto website, individually and in specially priced bundles.
