Sara Deshmukh shared, “It is a true privilege to bring Padma Patil to life in the extraordinary Harry Potter audio editions on Audible. The collaborative spirit in the studio made the process deeply rewarding, as we worked together to build this magical world through the world of sound. I hope listeners will be transported into the story and find as much wonder in these unabridged editions as we did in recording them.”
Avni Deshmukh also shared, “Voicing Parvati Patil in the Harry Potter audio series has been an incredible honour. Parvati’s studiousness, spirit, and fearlessness made her an immensely engaging character to voice. As someone who has always found audiobooks to be a source of inspiration in my own creative work, I hope these audio editions will offer fans a fresh and deeply engaging way to experience the wizarding world!”
