For all you Harry Potter fans at home, we’ve got some good news for you. J.K Rowling has just launched ‘Harry Potter at Home’ which is a digital hub for all things Harry Potter. According to a report from Variety, the hub includes various puzzles and videos which have been contributed by publishers like Bloomsbury and Scholastic. You also get a free audiobook of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone that you can listen to on Audible without a subscription. The tagline for the hub is ‘We’re casting a Banishing Charm on boredom’. If you have a passing interest or are a fan of Harry Potter, you should have a great time.
Rowling tweeted out the announcement on Wednesday and said,” 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 http://harrypotterathome.com.” A post on the hub also says, ”For over twenty years now, Hogwarts has been an escape for all -- for readers and fans, young and old. During the strange times we now find ourselves in, we want to welcome you back to Hogwarts, where you will find a friendly retreat for you, your family and those you are caring for.”
