Breaking through the monotony of nationwide lockdown, finally, there will be some occult relief as a mystical handout is waiting for Harry Potter fans. Hold on your breath till soon!
To the universe of the magus
The surprise came at a time when J.K. Rowling took to an announcement on Tuesday about an anticipated release of an audio recording of the first instalment of the Harry Potter book series namely Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in partnership with Wizarding World media company. Wait, the offering isn’t limited there as some glitzy Potterheads have been helmed for the purpose!
Exploring the esoteric: Radcliffe on top of the index
However, a new chapter of the precious tome will make its way every week to be read by a different celebrity. And to give a start, Radcliffe will be the first one to read the initial section, “The Boy Who Lived”, followed by Fantastic Beasts legacy Eddie Redmayne, Noma Dumezweni from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, David Beckham, Dakota Fanning and Stephen Fry, who’s the actual storyteller of Harry Potter taped book!
All the audio readings would be made available through Spotify and Spotify Kids while the visual documentation can be accessed via Harry Potter at the Home app, which was recently floated by the author as an appreciated initiative to the current pandemic.
From today, amazing friends of the Wizarding World are going to take turns reading Harry Potter book one.
And to start us off with Chapter 1, we think you’ll agree we have the perfect narrator…⚡️ #HarryPotterAtHome https://t.co/B7fqSu1nwk pic.twitter.com/LEYx0Y4iAD

Hailing the conjurer upon ennui
From now on, the striving warlocks and necromancers would be depicted in the cast to unleash “a Banishing Charm on boredom” carried out through artefacts, quizzes, enigmas, activity videos to name a few.
That found a mention in Rowling’s Twitter handle which read, “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 [Harry Potter At Home].”
