Spotify got Daniel Radcliffe to read Harry Potter out loud and we are legit crying

Celebrities around the world are teaming up to reread Harry Potter. Spotify announced on Tuesday that a new chapter of the first Harry Potter book will be released weekly on its channels, read by a different actor from the wizarding world (and David Beckham). This week: Chapter 1, read by none other than The Boy Who Lived Himself, Daniel Radcliffe.

Instead of dividing up voices or roles, participating stars will read one chapter each of the first book in the series. In the coming weeks, Stephen Fry, David Beckham, Dakota Fanning, Claudia Kim, Noma Dumezweni, and Eddie Redmayne will all lend their voices to the project as part of the ongoing Harry Potter at Home.

The playlist can be accessed here for Spotify users (free or premium), including Spotify Kids.
