Potter free for a spell

AUTHOR JK Rowling has conjured up some help for teachers – they can now bring the magic of Harry Potter to their students who are stuck at home.

Edinburgh-based Ms Rowling, pictured, has relaxed copyright permissions so that educators can post videos of themselves reading Harry Potter books aloud for students.

She tweeted: ‘Delighted to help teachers reach kids at home by relaxing the usual licence required to post videos of themselves reading Harry Potter books. Be well, everyone.’
