JK Rowling has announced the launch of Harry Potter At Home, which is a new interactive hub over on her Wizarding World website, built to keep Potter fans busy while they’re cooped up.

When you go through to the hub online, you’re met with a welcoming message, saying: “Welcome to the Harry Potter At Home hub where you’ll find all the latest magical treats to keep you occupied – including special contributions from Bloomsbury and Scholastic, nifty magical craft videos (teach your friends how to draw a Niffler!), fun articles, quizzes, puzzles and plenty more for first-time readers, as well as those already familiar with the wizarding world. We’re casting a Banishing Charm on boredom!”

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 https://t.co/cPg0dZpexB pic.twitter.com/i0ZjTplVoU — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) April 1, 2020

If you’ve been looking for something to take up your time, and you think of yourself as a bit of a Potterhead, then this is definitely what you need!

This is DEFINITELY going to be a source of entertainment for me as well. I’m neither a parent, teacher or caregiver 😅😂



Thank you for releasing this, you’re helping a lot of people. Off to draw a Niffler now ❤ — Maddy Eisenberg (@maddyeisenberg) April 1, 2020

As a teacher I am always encouraging the children to read, but never having time to myself. I’ve spent my days off rota re-reading the Harry Potter books for the first time since I was young – a whole new meaning has been taken from it as an adult 💙 — Phillippa Grace (@madamrose2) April 1, 2020

Failing that, head on over to Club Penguin – it’s officially been brought back after leaving the world back in 2017.
