Take a virtual tour of Harry Potter: A History Of Magic at the British Library in London with the Google Arts & Culture platform.
The exhibit explores the link between the witchcraft and wizardry of the Potterverse with the very real practice of magic around the world. For example, the exhibit showcases the actual 16th-century Ripley Scroll that explains how to create a Philosopher’s Stone, aka, sorry to break it to you but J.K. Rowling didn’t invent Philosopher’s Stones.
“What we’ve tried to do is put the historical examples of her ideas, side by side with how they feature in the books,” lead curator Julian Harrison says in aUnlike the Studio Tour in London or the various theme parks which are very much for entertainment only, this exhibit is insightful, educational, and a fascinating look at the history that informed the beloved book series — meaning, you might be able to pass this off as home learning with your kids.
