Calling all Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts fans; the award-winning Yoto player has launched its latest collection and it's a spellbindingly magical one.
Following on from last year's launch of the much-anticipated Harry Potter Yoto cards, this collection features three stories from the wizarding world; 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,' 'Quidditch Through the Ages' and 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard.'
Narrated by some familiar voices, including Jude Law, Eddie Redmayne and Bonnie Wright, the stories build on the Harry Potter books to give listeners a glimpse of another world. From a deep dive into the history and rules of Quidditch, to a showcase of magical creatures such as the Niffler, the Thunderbird and the Hippogriff, the stories bring Hogwarts to life.
Commenting on the launch, Jessica Tarrant, Content Director at Yoto said, “These enchanting stories are the perfect addition to any young Harry Potter fan’s library, and we’re thrilled that Yoto can continue to be a bridge between young listeners and the wizarding world.”

What are the new Yoto cards?
The new Hogwarts Library Collection features three audiobooks:
• Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Fans might recognise 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' as the title of one of Harry Potter’s textbooks at Hogwarts. In it, noted magizoologist, Newt Scamander brings to life a menagerie of magical creatures such as the Niffler, the Thunderbird and the Hippogriff.
• The Tales of Beedle the Bard
Featuring five wizarding fairytales, 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard' are sure to delight and educate in equal measure.
• Quidditch Through the Ages
'Quidditch Through the Ages' is the essential guide to the wizarding world's favourite game. Explore its history, try to master the rules, and experience moments of exhilarating triumph and crushing despair as you learn all there is to know about Quidditch.
Yoto x Harry Potter audiobooks
As one of Yoto's most requested series - it seems our children weren't the only ones to keeping asking 'can you get Harry Potter for Yoto?' - the Yoto Harry Potter series features all 124 hours of the beloved original narration by Stephen Fry.

Each Harry Potter Yoto card is a work of art, featuring beautiful illustrations that are inspired by iconic scenes from the books. To add even more magic to the Harry Potter Yoto cards, for the first time ever, the cards feature luxury coloured foil and texture effects.
Ben Drury, Co-Founder and CEO of Yoto, expressed his excitement when the Harry Potter audiobook launched in August 2024: "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. 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 catalogue 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."
The Yoto cards are available to buy individually, or in various bundle options, and bring the wizarding world of Harry Potter to life on a whole new platform. They're suitable for children aged seven and up.
