Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

Hogwarts Digital Escape Room

Try this Harry Potter themed digital escape room from Peters Township Public Library, Pennsylvania. You can play or your phone, computer or laptop. No downloads required.

It is your first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and you could not be more excited. You were just sorted into your dream house and you had dinner with your new classmates. It is time to head back to the common room and get to know your roommates.

As you head into the cozy room, the house prefect announces that you have a fun team building activity to complete before you get too settled into your new digs. The house prefect tells you about a new muggle trend where they lock themselves in rooms and have to answer puzzles to get out – no magic at all!

Next thing you know, the room is completely dark and you hear a door slam.

Harry Potter: A History of Magic

“Because that’s what Hermione does,” said Ron, shrugging. “When in doubt, go to the library.”
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Not surprisingly, one of my favourite lines in Harry Potter 🙂

However, this time the Library is coming to you.  Harry Potter: A History of Magic was a 2017 exhibition at the British Library in London. It contained all sorts of ‘magical’ objects, bith from history and items created by J.K. Rowling.

You can now explore the exhibition online through Google Arts and Culture, including sections on magical beasts, Jim Kay’s artwork for the illustrated versions of the books, objects that you might find in various Hogwarts classes, and some modern Muggle magic.
