Harry Potter at Home hub was specifically created to add some magic into the new daily lives of everyone staying at home due to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
Its goal is to help keep people occupied - especially children -- during this time when most schools and offices are temporarily closed.

Moreover, the Wizarding World team promises that the hub will be as ever-changing as the staircases in Hogwarts, as they plan to update it all the time.
But wait, there's more! J.K. Rowling has two more wonderful surprises.
First, she and her team have announced a special, open license for teachers to read the seven Harry Potter books to their pupils in recorded read-a-long session videos online.
And, last but definitely not the least, the first Harry Potter book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" will be available for free at Audible.
