JK Rowling launches Harry Potter at Home to entertain fans during lockdown
If you're a Harry Potter fan, you won't want to miss the brand new hub which brings the Hogwarts universe to your living room.
Harry Potter at Home is aimed at first-time readers, but it's got activities that are perfect for long term fans of the series too.
The new website features fun lockdown activities such as crosswords, puzzles, word searches, videos and guides to keep Potterheads entertained.
Specific examples include quizzes, how to draw a niffler, and a handy guide to help you read the Harry Potter series for the first time.
If you're into knitting, there's a tutorial to help you make your own Weasley inspired scarf to keep you cosy.
You can even sort yourself into a Hogwarts house if you want to fully immerse yourself in the universe. Where will the sorting hat place you?
This exciting news was confirmed on Twitter, with JK Rowling writing, '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.'
