What could be better than reading Harry Potter? Having it read to you by Daniel Radcliffe.

And Eddie Redmayne. And Stephen Fry (famous narrator of the HP audiobooks). And other celebs like David Beckham, Dakota Fanning and Noma Dumezweni.

Each week, a new chapter of Harry Potter and the Philospher’s Stone, read out loud by a celebrity from their home, is posted on the Harry Potter website WizardingWorld.com and on Spotify and Spotify Kids.

The Wizarding World website also has puzzles, videos and quizzes. You have to sign up for it, but it only takes a few seconds. And, you can get sorted into your house, choose your wand and lots of other things. It’s fun.

And if you’re a parent (or teacher) and you want a literacy resource, after each chapter reading your student can do a chapter quiz.
