Merlin’s beard! The British Library’s Harry Potter exhibit is now available online

Harry Potter fans won't want to miss this.

The British Library's Harry Potter exhibit is now available online and it sounds absolutely magical. The exhibit, titled Harry Potter: A History of Magic, is available through Google Arts & Culture - and is the perfect way to bring a bit of magic from the world of witchcraft and wizardry to your front room. The online curation features everything from how to study like a wizard to the early sketches and notes of the series' author, J.K. Rowling. And you'll get an insiders' insight into the exhibit, with videos from lead curator Julian Henson - and get the chance to explore the Ripley Scroll, which has the recipe for the elixir of life. You can find out more information - or check out the exhibit itself - right here.

Parents, teachers and carers working to keep children amused and interested while we’re on lockdown might need a bit of magic, so I’m delighted to launch https://t.co/cPg0dZpexB pic.twitter.com/i0ZjTplVoU
