JK Rowling launches Harry Potter at Home with free eBook and audiobook for families

Best-selling author JK Rowling has launched an online hub for Harry Potter fans to enjoy while stuck in lockdown.

Harry Potter at Home is a new dedicated space on WizardingWorld.com which has been created to "help children, parents, carers and teachers add a touch of Harry Potter magic to our new daily lives".

The hub combines resources from Harry Potter UK and US publishers Bloomsbury and Scholastic, Pottermore Publishing, spoken-word producer and provider Audible and library supplier OverDrive, to give fans an enhanced experience.

Writing on Twitter, JK Rowling 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 harrypotterathome.com."

Get daily tips on how to survive lockdown with your family, from toddlers prone to temper tantrums, to teenagers struggling to adapt to the abrupt closure of schools and separation from their friends - we’ve got it covered. We’re with you. Sign up here.

Families can discover activity kits, magical craft videos, quizzes and puzzles all in one place - and you can also listen to the Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone audiobook on Audible as many times as you like in the coming weeks.

Not only that Harry's first adventure will also be made available to read for free as an eBook via Overdrive's Libby app.

Other features include fun articles and guides to reading Harry Potter for the first time, puzzles and games and you can even be sorted into your Hogwarts House.
