Radcliffe is the first reader of the book, reading the first chapter “The Boy Who Lived.”
He will be followed by Claudia Kim and Eddie Redmayne from the "Fantastic Beasts" films and Norma Dumezweni, who portrayed Hermione Granger on Broadway in "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," according to CNN. But some non-Harry Potter stars will also be lending their voice to the readings including actors Stephen Fry and Dakota Fanning and footballer David Beckham.
The announcement of “Harry Potter at Home" was shared on Wizarding World’s Twitter account Tuesday.
Surprise! We've got a treat for you…From today, amazing friends of the Wizarding World are going to take turns reading Harry Potter book one.
