Class is in at Hogwart's

J.K. Rowling launches ‘Harry Potter at Home’

Apr 3, 2020 | 11:11 AM

Many schools across the world are out for the year — but class is in session at Hogwarts.

Author J.K. Rowling is trying to help make “home-schooling” a little more magical as millions spend most of their time in the house.

She launched a virtual wizarding world — with tons of Harry Potter material for kids to enjoy. And they will probably learn something too.

The “Harry Potter at Home” hub features educational games, puzzles, and activities. The first book in the series is also available for free on Audible — so kids can enjoy story time with their favourite boy wizard and his friends.

Rowling is also helping teachers who want to engage with their students through virtual learning. She relaxed copyright restrictions so educators can post videos of themselves reading from the Harry Potter series.
