“Parents, teachers and carers working to keep children amused and interested while we’re on lockdown might need a bit of magic,” the best-selling author tweeted Wednesday morning.
“We’re casting a Banishing Charm on boredom,” claims the free website, which contains stories, crafts, puzzles, games, and other distractions for magic-users and Muggles alike, all set in Rowling’s Wizarding World.
Rowling had previously announced that she’d waive her licensing fees on all seven Harry Potter books, so teachers would be able to read them remotely to their home-bound students.
