It\u2019s a lot easier to just turn the movies on in the background at any given time instead of actually sitting down to read the actual books. Since I\u2019d been meaning to crack open The Sorcerer\u2019s Stone again one of these days but just never got around to it, I was all too happy to give the new full-cast audiobook a try.<\/p>\n<div catalogid=\"6114c2b8-094d-4144-b314-bb42cf5a2279\" id=\"226430\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\">\n<div data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\">\n<div id=\"226430\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-722342313 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone (Full-Cast Edition)\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/10\/28\/audible-ign-harry-potter-cover-art-2-1761664283271.png?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/10\/28\/audible-ign-harry-potter-cover-art-2-1761664283271.png?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/10\/28\/audible-ign-harry-potter-cover-art-2-1761664283271.png?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone (Full-Cast Edition)<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3381835873 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" disabled=\"\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>4<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"solo-product-description\" class=\"description SoloProduct_description__emO_M\">\n<div data-cy=\"article-subtitle\" class=\"article jsx-3932497636 small\">\n<p>Get it for free with an Audible subscription.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-1339469126 jsx-1178573261 box jsx-2627838217\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Deal Highlight<\/strong>: Amazon&#8217;s Audible deal gets you three months of Audible premium for only 99 cents as well as $20 credit. You&#8217;ll get one free audiobook per month, which can use for this Harry Potter full-cast edition.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">I was genuinely surprised just how much I liked the story in audiobook form. The narrator is excellent, the voice cast is stacked, and the background noises are absolutely on point for every situation. All of these things together created a depth that stirred up a similar feeling I had the first time I actually read Harry Potter cover to cover. It\u2019s that feeling of being so fully immersed in a book that you feel like you\u2019re actually there.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-title jsx-959792410 jsx-2659527929 quote-container\" data-cy=\"quoteBox\">The convenience of being able to listen to a movie-like version of the book while doing chores was pretty awesome.<\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Don\u2019t get me wrong, I still think reading the book is the best way to enjoy the story. But these audiobooks are a more theatrical experience, and one you can have while doing other things. The full-cast edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone took more than eight hours to listen to, but I could easily turn it on while doing the dishes or walking my dog (and totally did just that). The convenience of being able to listen to a movie-like version of the book while doing chores was pretty awesome.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">I didn&#8217;t fully realize what I loved about the audiobook until I got all the way through. It wasn&#8217;t just that it drummed up that same nostalgia I felt when I was a kid, it&#8217;s because it solved the main complaint I had when the first movie came out. If you haven&#8217;t read the books in a while, you might have forgotten just how much is left out of the movies. It&#8217;s impossible to fit all of the little in-between moments into a film, but I remember feeling slightly disappointed after watching The Sorcerer&#8217;s Stone for the first time in theaters. Where were all of the little things I remembered from the book? The audiobook does a great job of bridging that gap, even if its only in the form of sound.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Is It Worth Getting an Audible Subscription For?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div catalogid=\"1395124d-1e78-446d-a06d-a34053d9a744\" id=\"230925\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\">\n<div data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\">\n<div id=\"230925\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-722342313 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"3 Months of Audible Premium Plus for $0.99\/mo\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2024\/10\/01\/audible-1727800165238.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2024\/10\/01\/audible-1727800165238.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2024\/10\/01\/audible-1727800165238.jpg?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"product-badge jsx-3056253127 jsx-1233459104\">\n<p>Non-Current Subscribers Only<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">3 Months of Audible Premium Plus for $0.99\/mo<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3381835873 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" disabled=\"\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>4<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Audible launched the first full-cast Harry Potter audiobook at the beginning of November around the same time it launched its Black Friday Audible deal. This obviously isn&#8217;t a coincidence, but if you are interested in listening to this I think it&#8217;s absolutely worth it\u2014especially if you&#8217;ve never subscribed to Audible before. While the deal lasts you can get three months of Audible for only $0.99 cents as well as a $20 bonus credit. You get one book credit per month you can use, so signing up will basically get you The Sorcerer&#8217;s Stone for only $0.99 cents.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The only down side is that Amazon sets you up to auto-renew your subscription once those three months are up and will start charging you the full $14.95 per month. But as long as you cancel before then, you&#8217;re fine.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As for whether or not an Audible subscription is worth it in the long run really just depends on how often you listen to audiobooks. I&#8217;ve had a subscription off and on over the years to listen to various things, but ultimately decided I just wasn&#8217;t listening often enough to justify the cost. So deals like this one are a great way to try it out for cheap before you fully commit.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Jacob Kienlen is a Senior SEO Strategist and Writer for IGN.
