J.K. Rowling has a gift for Harry Porter fans amid social distancing

J.K. Rowling is helping children everywhere become wizards. Inspired by recent school closures in response to the coronavirus pandemic, the famous author announced the launch of Harry Potter At Home, a free online hub that will provide children with educational wizarding fun while social distancing. "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," Rowling said in a tweet. Done in collaboration with Scholastic and Bloomsbury, the digital platform grants children access to the magic of Hogwarts while "casting a Banishing Charm on boredom" with articles, quizzes, puzzles, craft videos and more. Harry Potter At Home will also connect fans to the wizarding world with various Harry Potter--inspired features, including being sorted into your Hogwarts house. To join in on the fun, fans simply register and will be sorted right away. But the magic doesn't stop here. Additionally, Rowling also announced that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone audiobooks will be free to access on Audible Stories and OverDrive throughout this month.
