British author J.K. Rowling has launched "Harry Potter At Home," a digital hub with a cauldron full of treats to keep young children occupied while they are held captive at home during the Covid-19 crisis.

The hub, which includes contributions from publishing houses Bloomsbury and Scholastic, has magical craft videos, fun articles, quizzes, puzzles and more for both first-time readers and those already familiar with the wizarding world. The site, offered free of charge, proclaims: "We're casting a Banishing Charm on boredom!"
