Hugh Laurie and Matthew Macfadyen sign on for new Harry Potter project
Actor and comedian Hugh Laurie and Succession star Matthew Macfadyen are set to lead a brand new full-cast Harry Potter audiobook series. The acclaimed actors are among 200 voices bringing J.K. Rowling's beloved characters to life for the immersive Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions. Laurie, best known for his role in the medical drama House, will portray Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore, while Macfadyen takes on the antagonist Lord Voldemort. Laurie said: '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. '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.' The novels have previously been produced into single-voice recordings by Jim Dale and Stephen Fry. Produced by Audible and Pottermore Publishing, the new audiobook series will include a full cast, original music and real-world sound capture to create an immersive audio experience. Emmy award-winning actor, Riz Ahmed, also joins the cast as Professor Snape, as does Scottish actress Michelle Gomez, who will voice Professor McGonagall. Cush Jumbo will serve as the narrator. 'Hearing these spellbinding performances in our state-of-the-art studios has been nothing short of extraordinary,' Rachel Ghiazza, chief content officer at Audible, said. 'We're overjoyed to share that fans of all ages can now mark their autumn calendars for a truly breathtaking experience with Audible and Pottermore Publishing – one that promises to reignite the magic for longtime fans and captivate a whole new generation of listeners.' Newcomers Frankie Treadaway, Max Lester, and Arabella Stanton will play Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger respectively in audiobooks one, two and three. From audiobook four through to the last book in the series, the three protagonists will be played by Jaxon Knopf, Rhys Mulligan, and Nina Barker-Francis (Harry, Ron, and Hermione respectively). News of the series comes after production for the new HBO TV adaptation of the popular fantasy novels began earlier this summer. Each season of the show will be a faithful adaptation of the Harry Potter books. The novels had already been made into movies with Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint playing the trio. The first of the seven audiobooks, Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone, will be released on 4 November followed by Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets on 16 December. The remaining books will be released monthly in the new year starting with Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban on 13 January 2026, Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire on 10 February, and Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix on 10 March. Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince will be out on 14 April with the final book of the series, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, scheduled to be released on 12 May. Additional cast members will be announced this autumn.

Celine Dion Scores A New Hit Amidst ‘Hiatus'
Celine Dion is back with a reimagined version of a beloved classic. The Canadian superstar has spent the past several years battling serious health issues, which at times made it unclear if she'd ever be able to perform again. The singer is still remaining relatively quiet, but she's back on the charts in the United Kingdom this week with a reimagining of one of her most famous singles. 'New Day' Brings Celine Dion Back Dion's 'New Day' — created alongside Swedish DJ and producer Sebastian Ingrosso — launches at No. 24 on the Official Singles Sales chart and No. 21 on the Official Singles Downloads list this week. The track earns Dion her first showing on either list so far this year. Celine Dion's Busy 2024 In 2024, despite what appeared to be a musical hiatus, Dion scores multiple new hits in the U.K. Singles like 'Set My Heart on Fire,' 'I'm Alive,' and 'Hymne à l'amour' debuted on multiple charts in the country, and now she's back after disappearing from the busy lists only a few months ago. Sebastian Ingrosso Scores His Own Big Win For Ingrosso, 'New Day' also represents a rare chart win. The cut appears to be his first entry on the U.K. downloads tally in more than a decade. His last hit on the tally was back in 2013, when 'Reload' peaked at No. 4. This tune looks to be his first placement ever on the Official Singles Sales chart. Revisiting 'A New Day Has Come' 'New Day' reimagines Dion's 2002 single 'A New Day Has Come,' which served as the title track of her bestselling album of the same name. The original reached No. 22 on the Hot 100 and climbed to No. 7 on the U.K.'s main singles tally.

Ozzy Osbourne Died of a Heart Attack, Death Certificate Shows
Ozzy Osbourne, the heavy metal and reality television star, died of a heart attack and had suffered from coronary artery disease and Parkinson's, according to a death certificate filed at a registry in London. The certificate, which was submitted by Osbourne's daughter Aimée Rose Osbourne, lists cardiac arrest and coronary artery disease among the causes, noting that he had Parkinson's disease. Osbourne's occupation is recorded as 'Songwriter, Performer and Rock Legend.' The document also says that the heart attack occurred 'out of hospital.' On July 22, the day of Osbourne's death, an air ambulance flew to the singer's home near the village of Chalfont St. Giles in Buckinghamshire, England. A spokesperson for Thames Valley Air Ambulance service said in an email that its team had been 'dispatched to provide advanced critical care at an incident near Chalfront St. Giles on July 22,' but gave no further details. After stopping near the singer's home, the ambulance flew about eight miles southwest to Harefield Hospital, in Uxbridge, a London suburb, according to Flightradar24, a company that collates data on aircraft movements. The helicopter spent 'about an hour' at the hospital with its engines running, a Flightradar24 spokesman said. When Osbourne's family announced his death on July 22, they did not state a cause, although the 76-year-old singer had received treatment for numerous health problems in recent years, including a variant of Parkinson's and spinal damage. He told a radio station in February that he could no longer walk. Many heavy metal fans had feared this year that Osbourne was reaching the end of his life, especially after his wife, Sharon, announced in February that he would perform what the family expected to be his last ever concert. That performance, held on July 5 at a soccer stadium in Birmingham, England, was staged just a few minutes' walk from Osbourne's childhood home. At that concert, called 'Back to the Beginning,' Osbourne performed two brief sets: one of his solo music and a second with Black Sabbath, the band he formed in 1968 with three fellow Birmingham musicians. During those performances, Osbourne had referred to his health problems. 'I've been laid up for six years,' he told the cheering crowd at one point: 'Thank you from the bottom of my heart.' As Black Sabbath's frontman, Osbourne was widely considered one of the creators of heavy metal music. Heavy metal acts like Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax have cited him as an influence. In the 2000s, Osbourne achieved a second bout of fame as a reality TV star thanks to the MTV show 'The Osbournes,' which ran from 2002 to 2005 and documented the singer and his family's daily lives in comic fashion. On July 30, throngs of his fans flocked to Birmingham for a funeral procession in which his coffin was carried through the city in a hearse, ahead of a private funeral. Tess Felder contributed reporting.
