LONDON: Spotify and author JK Rowling on Tuesday announced the release of free weekly recordings narrated by celebrities of the first book in the wildly popular Harry Potter series. To help children – and perhaps adults – cope with confinement measures, Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who played the beloved wizard character in the books’ cinematic renditions, voiced the first chapter of the series’ premiere novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerers’ Stone. Videos of the celebrity recordings will stream on the website Harry Potter At Home. 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. The series’ publishers have also temporarily relaxed licensing restrictions, which allows teachers to read the “Harry Potter” books to their students during remote classes.
