While we understand that staying at home is the need of the hour, it certainly hasn’t been easy. To ease our lockdown blues, Wizarding World got several actors, including Daniel Radcliffe, to read the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
Surprise! We’ve got a treat for you…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

Which is how loyal fans of Hogwarts got a chance to see ‘The Boy who played Harry Potter’ read the chapter, ‘The Boy Who Lived’.

Naturally, Twitterati now wants a special train to take them back to their childhood:
Daniel Radcliffe is reading the first chapter of Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone for us all!!!

Just found out that actors are going to be reading Harry Potter on Spotify and chapter 1 is read by Daniel Radcliffe himself! Sometimes I forget the impact Harry Potter had on me growing up but it’s things like this that bring so much joy to my little heart
