Let us admit it, there is no such thing as ‘being too old for Harry Potter’. For years now, the beloved boy wizard and his story has ruled our hearts. And now, a new generation is waking up to its magic. So, it can be said that Harry Potter will never run out of charm. In this lockdown, let your kid (re)discover the world of magic, by doing some interesting activities while staying at home. Here are some fun things that you and your child can try together.

Wizarding World activities
When you go the to Wizarding World website, you will find that readers can choose from a host of activities on how to keep boredom away. All they need, is a little bit of magic. For instance, you can design for your kid, a cosy reading experience. Wizarding World suggests you make them a den, or a blanket fort, get many cushions to keep them tucked in and warm, some snacks, proper lights so their eyes don’t get strained, and a Harry Potter book of their choice. When they turn the pages and conjure magic, they will be engrossed for hours.
Bloomsbury’s Harry Potter Name Generator
You can make your child believe they are actually a witch/wizard by letting them take Bloomsbury’s name generator. All they have to do is fill their names in the designated tabs and allow the magic to unfurl. In no time, they will get their very own, customised name — the name which will allow them entry into Hogwarts!
