J.K. Rowling and Wizarding World has recently introduced an online interactive hub, “Harry Potter At Home.”
This collaboration between Rowling, Audible, Bloomsbury, OverDrive, Pottermore Publishing, and Scholastic, offers muggles a magical host of tutorials and resources. In other words, if you’re looking to banish the boredom… look no further! Here, you will find entertaining articles, special activity kits, magical craft videos, quizzes, puzzles and much more!
According to the website:
The Harry Potter At Home hub aims to help inspire you, your family, your friends, and especially children all around the world to read for pleasure and enjoy the stories, as well as bring some magic-infused joy and entertainment to all the family.
Parents, teachers and carers working to keep children amused and interested while we’re on lockdown might need a bit of magic, so I’m delighted to launch https://t.co/cPg0dZpexB pic.twitter.com/i0ZjTplVoU

In addition, Rowling has also lifted copyright restrictions for educators, reported Joey Nolfi of Entertainment Weekly. This generous gesture will provide flexibility to share the entire Harry Potter series with students by recording videos of educators reading the books aloud.
Users of Harry Potter at Home may also gain access to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, free of charge, in digital format via Overdrive, and/or Audible’s new Stories platform.
