The event, which kicked off on Tuesday, saw the first chapter of the book being read by Daniel Radcliffe , who played the title character in all eight "Harry Potter" films.
Each week a new chapter will be read by a different narrator - which includes actors Stephen Fry, David Beckham, Dakota Fanning, Claudia Kim, Noma Dumezweni, and Eddie Redmayne - until all 17 chapters of the book are complete.
