The new trailer reveals story elements that will be woven throughout the game, inviting players to solve various puzzles interspersed with Chocolate Frogs, magic keys and all manner of fantastical things.

Players will also be tasked with creating an avatar, casting familiar spells and collecting various wizarding world artefacts along their way. And, of course, as you progress, there are opportunities to level up, upgrade your abilities and win power-ups. You’ll also bump into familiar Harry Potter characters throughout the levels to guide you through your journey – and be invited to collect magical creatures, objects, potions. The more you play, the more you’ll collect and learn as you approach fresh, daily challenges. 

'With Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells, we’ll be delighting fans with the memorable characters, sounds and stories of the original books and films,” said Bernard Kim, President of Publishing, Zynga. ‘But we’re also bringing more dimension to the match-3 genre. Players will earn XP and become more powerful, acquire and level up spells, engage in special events and connect and compete with one another through the Clubs feature.’

Players who pre-register for Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells will be the first to know when the game officially launches, and those that download the game within 7 days will be treated to a special Welcome Bundle, extra rewards and power-ups. You’ll even get a special custom item to make your avatar even more unique. 

So named because Portkeys transport wizards from place to place, games under the Portkey Games label give Harry Potter fans the chance to be transported into the wizarding world and placed at the centre of their own adventure. So, get ready for this latest magical escapade! 

*Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells will be playable for iOS and Android devices worldwide, as well as on Amazon Kindle and Facebook. Visit the [Harry Potter: Puzzles and Spells website](http://www.harrypotterpuzzlesandspells.com/) or Google Play to learn how to pre-register, and keep checking in for future updates.*

wbstl-to-reopen-later-this-august

From Thursday 20th August, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London will be inviting fans back to enjoy the iconic film sets, props and costumes from the Harry Potter films once again, after closing its doors earlier this year in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

![wbstl-reopening-artwork](//images.ctfassets.net/usf1vwtuqyxm/2yAu7fT0Wd8idkOvZNjbN6/254664e7a5120150a3a6b1a70ffd99dd/Reopening_2000x1143.jpg)

Upon re-opening, the Studio Tour will be inviting guests back in a reduced capacity and instigating appropriate health and safety measures. Visitors will be required to wear face coverings, while the whole tour will, of course, be following social distancing guidelines. 

Take a look at the [Studio Tour’s official website](https://www.wbstudiotour.co.uk/) to get the full list of protective guidelines that the staff will be putting in place to ensure you have a safe and happy experience during your visit. 

Alongside all the usual sets, props and costumes on display, the Studio Tour will be inviting fans to visit their latest feature: A Celebration of Slytherin! For the first time, visitors will see the Great Hall set adorned in Slytherin’s house colours, and on top of that, will be given a first look at the Slytherin common room! As seen for the first time in *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*, fans will be able to marvel at a 25-ft section of the set, featuring authentic props and the famous dungeon-style stone walls. The special feature will run until 12th November, so maybe you’d like to dust off your finest green ensembles if you do decide to visit   

![hero-image-slytherin-takeover-at-wbstl](//images.ctfassets.net/usf1vwtuqyxm/6FwXEpYuaQefJJoAImvplM/90aa7ceb1335de2de8d7f20733fb5342/Fans_in_front_of_Chamber_of_Secrets_door2.jpg)

Geoff Spooner, SVP & General Manager spoke of being ‘thrilled’ at the news of the re-opening, reinstating the importance of the new safety measures.

‘We’re thrilled to be able to open the doors to the Hogwarts Great Hall to visitors once again,’ he said. ‘While the Studio Tour experience may differ from previous visits as we introduce additional safety measures, we’re looking forward to welcoming fans back into the world of Harry Potter for a truly magical day out.’ 

You'll be able to purchase Studio Tour tickets from 1pm, 6th August. Booking availabilites currently cater for visits up to 30th June 2021. So, keep an eye on your calendars and remember to keep safe if you plan on making a visit! 

[Visit Warner Bros. Studio Tour London’s website](https://www.wbstudiotour.co.uk/) for more details on its reopening alongside information on its new A Celebration of Slytherin display.

The new Harry Potter x K-Swiss shoes – from 31st July

WEB-NEWS-hp-kswiss-back-to-hogwarts-footwear-collection-launch-text-section-1

The Harry Potter x K-Swiss Back to Hogwarts Footwear collection will be available from the 31st July, and is the result of the exciting collaboration between Warner Bros. Consumer Products and K-Swiss, which recently brought you the [limited edition Harry Potter x K-Swiss Firebolt Hypercourt Express 2](https://www.wizardingworld.com/news/k-swiss-reveal-new-quidditch-themed-shoe). The shoe took inspiration in its design from the broom Harry received during his third year at Hogwarts.

We loved that Quidditch theme, and the new Back to Hogwarts collection builds on that by combining two of our very favourite aspects of the wizarding world: the Hogwarts houses and Quidditch! There are two distinct ranges of Harry Potter-inspired shoes to choose from within the Back to Hogwarts collection, so let’s soar in and take a look: 

WEB-NEWS-hp-kswiss-back-to-hogwarts-footwear-collection-launch-text-section-2

## Four distinct Hogwarts House-inspired designs 
Different houses mean different personalities, and this is beautifully reflected by the collection featuring each house-inspired design on a different K-Swiss silhouette.

So, whether you’re a brave Gryffindor, a loyal Hufflepuff, a wise Ravenclaw or an ambitious Slytherin, this Harry Potter x K-Swiss collection has a shoe sole-mate for you! Still need to find out which Hogwarts house you belong to? [Take our Sorting Ceremony here](https://my.wizardingworld.com/sorting-hat).

## Re-imagined house Quidditch designs
There’s one competition at Hogwarts that really gets the house spirit going, and that’s the Quidditch House Cup. The second group of designs in the collection all feature on the K-Swiss Court Pro II sneaker, reimagined with the Hogwarts house colours and crests. But that’s not all! These sneakers all hero the magical game of Quidditch too, by boasting burnished leather and ribbed mesh that allude to the uniforms and equipment worn by Quidditch players.

WEB-NEWS-seven-ways-lifelong-fans-and-first-time-readers-showed-their-love-for-HPAH-text-section-1

During lockdown, we set out to cast a Banishing Charm on boredom by bringing Hogwarts to you with our Harry Potter At Home initiative. All the members of our Wizarding World family rallied together, like a digital Dumbledore’s Army, and developed a set of free offerings to help children, parents, carers and teachers find comfort and escape whilst we continued to stay at home. This culminated in the creation of a dedicated, free, online space – the [Harry Potter At Home hub](https://www.wizardingworld.com/collections/harry-potter-at-home) – to delight Harry Potter fans, old and new. From special chapter readings of the first Harry Potter book to crafting challenges and games, our aim was to inspire reading for pleasure, alongside enjoyment of the Harry Potter stories, as well as to bring some much needed joy and entertainment into your homes.

WEB-NEWS-seven-ways-lifelong-fans-and-first-time-readers-showed-their-love-for-HPAH-text-section-2

We can’t thank you enough for how enthusiastically you joined us on the magical Harry Potter At Home journey! In this article we want to share our gratitude for just how much love you’ve shown and continue to show for Harry Potter, and how inspiring that has been for first time readers and lifelong fans alike. 

## 1. You made the Harry Potter series No 1 on the New York Times Bestseller List 
After Harry Potter hit the 500 million sales mark in 2018, it was estimated that 1 in 15 people in the world may own one of the novels. But during Harry Potter At Home, even more of you bought the Harry Potter books, published by Scholastic in the US, and they hit the top spot on the New York Times Bestseller List during lockdown. And that’s not all. Publisher Bloomsbury reported that more of you bought physical copies of *Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone* in the first half of this year, than in the same period last year, despite UK bookshops being closed during lockdown. And Scholastic also reported that sales of *Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone* doubled in the height of lockdown! Thank you for continuing to read Harry Potter and inspiring new readers with your love of the series.  

## 2. Millions of you accessed Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s/Sorcerer’s Stone in new ways
In March and April, Pottermore Publishing teamed up with digital library suppliers to allow access to the first book in its digital form, and Audible Stories also made the audiobook available free to stream, As a result, one million of you borrowed the first book via the unlimited access granted to libraries in the US and UK as part of Harry Potter At Home. Millions more of you listened in the six different languages made available in audio. And over 4.5 million of you listened to *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone* on Alexa as part of Audible's free Alexa Listening Event. We loved that so many of you enjoyed the first story at home with your families or in online classrooms in these new ways.

## 3. Millions of you tuned in to watch our filmed-at-home chapter readings
As part of Harry Potter At Home, you watched some of the best-loved faces across global, entertainment, music and sport read [all seventeen chapters of *Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s/Sorcerer’s Stone*](https://www.wizardingworld.com/chapters). You were there every step of the way, from David Beckham reading Quidditch commentary, to Helena Bonham Carter reciting Snape’s potions riddle – and of course let’s not forget that memorable Malfoy reunion…  Since their launch, the chapter readings have been enjoyed over 30 million times across all platforms, including WizardingWorld.com and Spotify. We think even the calm and collected Professor McGonagall would have been unable to contain her excitement! We are so grateful to all our celebrity chapter readers, as well as our Chapter Seventeen families for taking the time to take part.

## 4. You created artwork that helped illustrate Harry’s first story
We called and you answered! With each chapter video you will spot fantastic interpretations of the events, characters and locations of each chapter dotted throughout the readings. And we were absolutely blown away by the talent of your submissions! We’ve had incredible artwork from young and older fans alike, not to mention from all over the world! [See for yourself here!](https://www.wizardingworld.com/features/fans-submit-artwork-for-harry-potter-at-home) We hope you enjoyed creating the illustrations just as much as we enjoyed marvelling at them. 

## 5. You took part in Harry Potter At Home activities – from quizzes to crafting
Right from the start, thousands of you enjoyed our dedicated [Harry Potter At Home hub](https://www.wizardingworld.com/collections/harry-potter-at-home), as well as our [First Year Challenges](https://www.wizardingworld.com/collections/first-year-challenges), [First Year Readers](https://www.wizardingworld.com/collections/first-year-readers) and [Crafting Magic hubs](https://www.wizardingworld.com/collections/crafting-magic). In fact, during lockdown a whopping 7 million of you visited [Harrypotterathome.com](https://www.wizardingworld.com/collections/crafting-magic). You read articles and played quizzes from our friends at Bloomsbury and Scholastic, as well as taking on some crafting challenges of your own. And once the chapter readings started, many of you collected house points with our Chapter Quizzes and Chapter Challenges. Thank you for reading and playing along – in our eyes, you all win the House Cup!

## 6. You inspired a whole new generation of fans to begin their journeys into the wizarding world
Whilst many bookshops around the world remained closed, it was pretty – well – magical that during the Harry Potter At Home initiative, *Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s/Sorcerer’s Stone* soared to top spots in the Amazon.com chart and Audible.com bestseller lists faster than a Nimbus Two Thousand. And the Harry Potter stories remain some of the most checked out books in libraries – Hermione would be proud! We love that *Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s/Sorcerer’s Stone* is only just the beginning, and you continue to spread your love for the first story, and the rest of the Harry Potter series in the bad times and in the good!

ulta-x-hp-collection-text-sect-1

__Update (8th July): Please be aware that some of the Ulta products are currently sold out online.__

While we’ll never be a Metamorphmagus, this brilliant new collection, created by Ulta Beauty, invites you to magically transform yourself with Wizarding World themed cosmetics, nail and skincare products, along with bath and body accessories. 

Inspired by the stories of Harry Potter and the Wizarding World, the collection features everything from bath bombs, body lotions and beauty masks, with some magical surprises woven in. 

The collection caught the imagination of Harry Potter and beauty fans alike, calling it 'every Harry Potter fans' dream', with others saying, 'the line truly has it all'. InsideTheMagic.net dubbed it 'more exciting than a trip to Hogsmeade!', while ThePopInsider.com praised the collection for its 'ultimate nostalgia' feel, promising the range would 'add a little Lumos to your life'. 

Here’s a first glance at the whole [Harry Potter x Ulta Beauty collection, available from their official website now for US-based fans. ](https://www.ulta.com/ulta/a/_/Ntt-HARRY%20POTTER/Nty-1?Dy=1&ciSelector=searchResults/)

## Hogwarts house themed eye shadow palettes 

![eye-shadow](//images.ctfassets.net/usf1vwtuqyxm/F4Dv2pzOnfqRO3ghSixot/c63515d818a84dc22428b7c0949f4893/eyeshadowbigege.png)

Next up, these eye shadow palettes, with different wizarding world colour schemes. After all, why have boring old brown eye shadow when you can now have Chocolate Frog brown matte?

The Harry Potter x Ulta Beauty collection’s Jelly Blush set is inspired by the adorably colourful magical creatures, Pygmy Puffs! Well, you wouldn’t want a beauty-set looking like a Blast-Ended Skrewt, would you?

## Quidditch sheet face masks

## Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone: for the multi-talented
If you’re an all-rounder interested in all kinds of magic, you’d do pretty well saving the Philosopher’s Stone. To succeed through the trapdoor, you’d need to be the kind of person who pays attention in class – and we mean all classes. Herbology, Charms, Transfiguration, Potions and Defence Against the Dark Arts all had important parts to play – and it wouldn’t hurt if you were a bit sporty either given that’d you need to catch those flying keys on a broom. But you’d also be well suited to this book if you’re curious and tenacious. Harry, Ron and Hermione never gave up on finding out who Nicolas Flamel was – and it took an awful lot of hours in the library before Harry recalled the name from a Chocolate Frog card. Oh yes, and you’d definitely be more suited to Philosopher’s Stone if you’re a dog lover… 

## Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: for the brave at heart
How do you feel about spiders? Deathday parties? Spooky voices in the old castle walls? Giant snakes that’ll kill you if you look them in the eye? If all of these sound like just another walk in the Hogwarts grounds to you, then you just could be the perfect person to solve the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets and confront the heir of Slytherin. Warning – this book is not for the faint-hearted, and it needs someone who is both bold and brave, as well as a person who has a certain disregard for school rules – remember you’d need to brew up some Polyjuice Potion! Alongside those traits, you’d also have to be loyal, because we’re not sure anyone could slay a Basilisk without a little help from Dumbledore and his feathery companion, Fawkes. 

## Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: for the eagle-eyed intellectual 
An impossible escape from a high-security wizard prison. A dead man walking the halls of Hogwarts on a map that never lies. A rat that has been in the Weasley family for twelve years. And a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher who is afraid of the moon. You’d be best suited to solving the mystery of Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew if you have a keen eye for small detail – a missing toe on a rat or a friendship between a cat and a big black dog, perhaps? Like Hermione, you’d suit this story if you’re the kind of student who really does their homework – remember how she looked up the Ministry register of Animagi? That’s some commitment. This story has some mind-boggling time-turning magic in it – so precision and cool intellect is absolutely key if you want to succeed in Prisoner of Azkaban.

## Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: for the competitive thrill-seeker
The Triwizard Tournament is one of the most notorious and perilous competitions in the wizarding world, and if that doesn’t want to make you run the other way then you could be a contender for the twists and turns of Goblet of Fire. You’d need to be the kind of person with a lot of self-confidence, who is not easily rattled – Rita Skeeter would be bothering you non-stop – and be able to keep your cool through three extremely dangerous and challenging tasks. Not to mention you’d need to be a very skilled witch or wizard. To consider taking part in the Triwizard is one thing, but lifting the Cup at the end? Now that would take someone serious grit, determination and a competitive streak to rival Oliver Wood’s. Also did we mention there are fire-breathing dragons? Rather you than us… 

## Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: for the rule-breakers
Standing up to Dolores Umbridge and defying her petty rules is what Order of the Phoenix is all about. If bending the rules and setting up secret societies is your flavour of Bertie Bott’s beans, then this is the book for you. Are you the kind of person who would risk a place at magic school to fight injustice? Are you brave enough to start an underground Defence Against the Dark Arts society in the name of Dumbledore? To face down expulsion, Umbridge’s wrath and that nasty quill of hers, you’d certainly need to have some clever tricks up your sleeve – like those Galleons of Hermione’s – and you’d also have to be good at keeping secrets, as well as have nerves of steel. Oh yes, and there’s that quick trip – possibly on an invisible skeletal horse – to fight all those Death Eaters at the Ministry of Magic to think about too. Bravery is certainly a must for this story. 


## Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: for the mystery-loving creatives
When you’re cooking, do you always follow the recipe to the letter? Or do you like to add your own flourish and flair? If you found instructions for a twist on a classic chocolate cake, would you go for it? If you’re thinking, of course! Then this book might just be the one for you. The Half-Blood Prince guided Harry through many a Potions class and he wasn’t afraid to stray from the original Potions recipes and try something new. The Half-Blood Prince made up spells too, so you’d need to be brave (and possibly a bit reckless) to try those out too. Does that sound like you? Half-Blood Prince is one for the free-thinking creatives, but you’d also need to like solving mysteries. The mystery of what Draco is doing would need to occupy hours of your thoughts, as well as those Horcrux-related lessons with Dumbledore. And when it came down to it, would you have the confidence to go with the headmaster to hunt a Horcrux, or would you rather stay in your common room? If you’re with Dumbledore, then this book is for you. 
 
## Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: for the selfless warriors
It can’t be denied that Harry, Ron and Hermione were pretty selfless in the seventh book. Leaving the hallowed halls of Hogwarts behind, they embarked on a task set for them by Dumbledore that seemed – at times – both thankless and impossible. You’d need determination to thrive in this book, a strong sense of right and wrong, a pretty thick skin – remember all that freezing cold camping they did? – and also a sense that the world is bigger than you as an individual. This story would definitely suit you if you’re a team player and want to do what’s right, no matter how difficult. You should also be the kind of person who isn’t afraid to confront their fears – destroying Horcruxes isn’t all about being able to wield the sword of Gryffindor or a Basilisk fang, it’s about showing inner strength. If you’ve got that – then Deathly Hallows could be the book for you.

Who is the coolest Weasley child?

2020-WEB-ARTICLE-who-is-the-coolest-weasley-child

HP-F8-bill-weasley-web-header

2020-WEB-ARTICLE-TEXTSECTION-who-was-coolest-weasley

## 7. Percy Weasley

__Coolest moment:__ ‘Hello, Minister!’ …. ‘Did I mention I’m resigning?’

__Verdict:__ We’re absolutely not saying you can’t be cool and be a Prefect, but Percy wasn’t exactly the most gracious of authority figures. He regularly threatened Ron with detention, and liked to remind everyone exactly what his title was – whether that be Prefect or Head Boy. And after he left Hogwarts and joined the Ministry, it was very not cool to be in league with Fudge and Umbridge and turn his back on his family. He definitely redeemed himself in the end, and the moment he announced his resignation in a duel was fantastic, but unfortunately that wasn't enough to tip the balance of Percy ending up at the bottom of the pile in the coolest Weasley child rankings.
<br>
## 6. Ron Weasley

__Coolest moment:__ ‘Weasley can save anything, He never leaves a single ring, That’s why Gryffindors all sing: Weasley is our King.’

__Verdict:__ Ron had a tough time staying cool under pressure, and we don’t blame him: three-headed dogs, giant spiders, Azkaban escapees – he really did have a lot to deal with during his time at Hogwarts. The great thing about Ron was that he had true courage – he was often afraid but conquered his fear and fought for good anyway. Unfortunately, that meant he wasn’t always exactly cool – remember those slugs? And it was supremely uncool of him to abandon Harry and Hermione on their Horcrux hunt. That being said, he did have some pretty cool moments – saving Harry from freezing water and destroying a Horcrux, that epic chess game in Philosophers Stone – but we picked the moment that the song – started as a taunt by the Slytherins – was taken over by Gryffindors to reflect Ron’s Quidditch Keeping success.
<br>
## 5. Charlie Weasley

__Coolest moment:__ ‘How are you? Thanks for the letter – I’d be glad to take the Norwegian Ridgeback, but it won’t be easy getting him here. I think the best thing will be to send him over with some friends of mine who are coming to visit me next week.’

__Verdict:__ This quote is taken from a letter Charlie wrote to Ron, who had asked him for help with Hagrid’s pet dragon. Pretty cool of an elder brother not to question this odd request, and ever cooler just to be able to just casually mention that you have friends who can help out with a Norwegian Ridgeback! Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see too much of Charlie, although we heard all about him working with dragons in Romania (also a very cool job!). He isn’t much higher on the rankings as we just can’t judge how cool he really was from the information we have – however according to Fred he did have to take his Apparition test twice because he ‘Apparated five miles south of where he meant to, right on top of some poor old dear doing her shopping, remember?’ Not cool, Charlie. Not cool.
<br>
## 4. George Weasley

__Coolest moment:__ ‘Saint-like,’ repeated George, opening his eyes and looking up at his brother. ‘You see ... I’m holy. Holey, Fred, geddit?’

__Verdict:__ Even after losing his ear, this Weasley twin was cracking jokes and trying to make everyone laugh – can you get any cooler than that? That being said, the rankings are getting pretty close together on the cool factor front as we reach the twins – though they did many of their coolest deeds together, so we’ve penalised them slightly for that (remember giving Harry the Marauder’s Map? Umbridge and the fireworks? Leaving that swamp in a corridor at Hogwarts with no instructions for how to get rid of it?). Legends.
<br>
## 3. Fred Weasley

__Coolest moment:__ ‘George,’ said Fred, ‘I think we’ve outgrown full-time education.’

__Verdict:__ Fred just edges ahead of his twin brother in these rankings, as he is often the ring-leader of the two. He’s usually the one with the witty one-liners, and therefore comes across as ‘cooler’ in his confidence – the quote above is said directly to Umbridge before they leave Hogwarts behind on their broomsticks. He’s also often the instigator – for example, he was the one driving the flying car in Chamber of Secrets, and it was his idea to use an Ageing Potion to try to enter their names in the Goblet of Fire. You might not think that makes him cooler – but we had to decide whether Gred or Forge came higher in the rankings somehow! If you want to find out more about the differences between Fred and George, you can read an article we wrote about them [here.](https://www.wizardingworld.com/features/differences-between-fred-and-george-weasley) 
<br>
## 2. Ginny Weasley

__Coolest moment:__ ‘The thing about growing up with Fred and George,’ said Ginny thoughtfully, ‘is that you sort of start thinking anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.’

__Verdict:__ Ginny almost makes it to the top of the Weasley rankings for coolness. She trained herself at Quidditch when her brothers never let her play, she had the meanest Bat Bogey Hex around (and wasn’t afraid to use it), and continued to cause havoc at Hogwarts to rebel against the Death Eaters in Deathly Hallows. She befriended Luna Lovegood, and stuck up for her, even though she wasn’t exactly the coolest Hogwarts student around, and when asked if Harry had a tattoo, completely styled it out and told everyone it was a Hungarian Horntail. Need we go on?
<br>
## 1. Bill Weasley

__Coolest moment:__ ‘However, Bill was – there was no other word for it – cool.’

__Verdict:__ He was always going to win this one, wasn’t he? He was a curse-breaker for Gringotts – how cool does that sound? And that was after being Head Boy and getting about a million OWLs, as well as sporting that ponytail and fang earring. This kind of pirate-style coolness was evident in something he said to Mrs Weasley when she was fussing over his appearance: ‘Mum, no one at the bank gives a damn how I dress as long as I bring home plenty of treasure,’ – so casual. Not to mention he married someone equally as cool and attractive as himself – Fleur Delacour – who was a Triwizard Champion and half-Veela. If that wasn’t enough, he took being attacked by Fenrir Greyback completely in his stride: … ‘in personality he seemed just the same as ever. All that appeared to have changed was that he now had a great liking for very rare steaks.’ Bill, we bow to your superior coolness.

Hidden entrances of the wizarding world

Hp-F6-Arthur-Weasley-Phone-Box

hidden-entrances-of-the-wizarding-world-web-text-section

## The entrance to Diagon Alley

*Location:*

Through a wall at the back of the Leaky Cauldron pub in London.

*How to enter:*

Tap the brick in the wall that is three up and two across three times – preferably with a pink umbrella but we’re not sure that’s strictly required… 

*Favourite moment:*

> ‘The brick he had touched quivered – it wriggled – in the middle, a small hole appeared – it grew wider and wider – a second later they were facing an archway large enough even for Hagrid, an archway on to a cobbled street which twisted and turned out of sight.
> 
> ‘Welcome,’ said Hagrid, ‘to Diagon Alley.’’

## Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place

*Location:* 

Grimmauld Place, London.

*How to enter:* 

Protected by a Fidelius Charm with Albus Dumbledore as Secret Keeper. Location must be revealed by the Secret Keeper orally or in writing. 

*Favourite moment:*

> ‘Harry thought, and no sooner had he reached the part about
number twelve, Grimmauld Place, than a battered door emerged out of nowhere between numbers eleven and thirteen, followed swiftly by dirty walls and grimy windows. It was as though an extra house had inflated, pushing those on either side out of its way. Harry gaped at it. The stereo in number eleven thudded on. Apparently the Muggles inside hadn’t felt anything.’

## The entrance to St Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries

*Location:*

Near Purge & Dowse Ltd, an old department store in London.

*How to enter:*

Approach a glass window of Purge & Dowse Ltd and speak very quietly to the ugliest dummy you can see in the window display, with a green pinafore dress. The dummy will nod and beckon you through the glass. Step through the glass and into the hospital. 

*Favourite moment:* 

> ‘They nodded, clustering around her. Moody gave Harry another shove between the shoulder blades to urge him forward and Tonks leaned close to the glass, looking up at the very ugly dummy, her breath steaming up the glass. ‘Wotcher,’ she said, ‘we’re here to see Arthur Weasley.’’


## Ministry of Magic: visitor entrance 

*Location:*

The heart of London.

*How to enter:*

Find the old red telephone box, step inside and then dial 62442. When asked by a cool female voice to state your name and business, do so. If you are accepted as a visitor, you should put on the silver badge provided. The telephone box will then take you down into the Ministry of Magic. 

*Favourite moment:*

> ‘The further they walked, the smaller and less imposing the buildings became, until finally they reached a street that contained several rather shabby-looking offices, a pub and an overflowing skip. Harry had expected a rather more impressive location for the Ministry of Magic.’ 

## Entrance to the Chamber of Secrets

*Location:*

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, girls’ bathroom, first floor.

*How to enter:*

Look for the tiny snake scratched on one of the copper taps. Speak Parseltongue – ‘Open up’ would do. The tap will spin and the sink will move downwards, exposing a large pipe for you to slide through.  

*Favourite moment:*

> ‘‘Harry,’ said Ron, ‘say something. Something in Parseltongue.’
> 
> ‘But –’ Harry thought hard. The only times he’d ever managed to speak Parseltongue were when he’d been faced with a real snake. He stared hard at the tiny engraving, trying to imagine it was real.
> 
> ‘Open up,’ he said.
> He looked at Ron, who shook his head.
> ‘English,’ he said.’’  

## Entrance to the Shrieking Shack

*Location:*

Grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Whomping Willow. 

*How to enter:*

Touch a specific knot on the trunk of the Whomping Willow. This will freeze its dangerous branches and allow you to enter a passageway through a gap in the tree’s roots. The tunnel will take you to the Shrieking Shack. 

*Favourite moment:*

> ‘Crookshanks darted forwards. He slithered between the battering branches like a snake and placed his front paws upon a knot on the trunk.
Abruptly, as though the tree had been turned to marble, it stopped moving. Not a leaf twitched or shook.
>
> ‘Crookshanks!’ Hermione whispered uncertainly. She now grasped Harry’s arm painfully hard. ‘How did he know –?’
> 
> ‘He’s friends with that dog,’ said Harry grimly. ‘I’ve seen them
together. Come on – and keep your wand out –’’ 

## The entrance to the Hogwarts kitchens

*Location:*

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, behind a picture of a giant fruit bowl. On the same corridor as the Hufflepuff common room. 

*How to enter:*

Approach the painting of the fruit bow. Tickle the huge green pear. It will giggle and then turn into a green door handle. Enter. 

*Favourite moment:*  

> ‘‘How do you get in there?’ Hermione said, in an innocently casual sort of voice.
> 
> ‘Easy,’ said Fred, ‘concealed door behind a painting of a bowl of fruit. Just tickle the pear, and it giggles and –’ He stopped, and looked suspiciously at her. ‘Why?’
> 
> ‘Nothing,’ said Hermione quickly..’’

And remember, you can catch up with Chapter Sixteen [here](https://www.wizardingworld.com/chapters/reading-through-the-trapdoor), read by Kenneth Branagh and Ruth Wilson, with an appearance from Helena Bonham Carter. Or, if you’d like to browse all of our chapters, do so [here.](https://www.wizardingworld.com/chapters)

So here we are, the final chapter. A huge thank you for joining us on this extra special read-along journey, and to all of our guest narrators. Especially for your Hagrid impressions. We particularly enjoyed all of those. 

For the last instalment, three Harry Potter-loving families take on the final chapter of *Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone/Sorcerer’s Stone*, ‘The Man with Two Faces’, with a surprise cameo closing things off for you. 

So, say hello to the Patels, from London, the Gaffneys from Brooklyn and the McKennas from Belfast! 

First, we have the Patels, helmed by mum and dad, Swetha and Savan, with their two children, Sona (10) and Devan (8). 

On joining Harry Potter At Home, the Patels said: 

'Harry Potter is a world of ingenuity and adventure - to be able to share the stories as a family time and again (we have read the books so many times now and watched the movies innumerable times), is invaluable - the stories never get old and its lovely to see the children feel like they can really relate to the stories and find inspiration within them to be bold and adventurous and to always expect the unexpected.' 

Next up, you’ll meet the the Gaffneys, comprised of mum and dad, Kym and Brian, and their two boys, John (11) and James (9). 

 ‘For Team Gaffney, Potter conveys that living a full life is truly accessible through choice and the power of imagination!’ the family said. ‘We see within the characters the importance of acknowledging and embracing one another's diverse gifts. Finally, we should always remember that through life's ups & downs that you will always have the support and love of good friends & family.’


Rounding things off, we have the McKennas, with Sinead, Stephen, and their three children, Olivia (9), Stephen Jr. (7) and Pauric (6). 

‘Harry Potter means quality family time together,’ Sinead told us. ‘With very busy lives, reading together was not a priority but Harry Potter has changed that and brought us back together! Harry Potter means adventure, imagination, a world of magic and a love of reading!’

Well said. And we hope you’ve had just as much fun as our narrators have had reading along with Harry’s first adventure at home too!

Kenneth Branagh and Ruth Wilson, with Helena Bonham Carter, accompany Harry, Ron and Hermione through the trapdoor, where magic and friendships are tested.

Sir Kenneth Branagh has garnered international acclaim for his work on the stage and screen.
