After 19 years… Harry Potter himself narrated a chapter from the first book

For many dedicated fans, the casting for the movie remained pitch-perfect. Nothing can change that. For us, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson will always be Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger respectively. Whenever they try to revisit their roles, it truly warms our hearts. So, to see and hear Radcliffe read and narrate the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is truly a gift to all of us, especially at this time of crisis.

A new way to entertain fans during the time of social distancing

The Wizarding World just launched Harry Potter At Home as a new way to entertain fans during the time of social distancing. With everyone keeping safe at home, J.K. Rowling together with Audible, Bloomsbury, OverDrive, Pottermore Publishing, and Scholastic decided to put a little magic back to our lives as we face the new normal. For over twenty years, Hogwarts has become an escape for young and old readers and fans.
