How to use Google Arts & Culture to explore the world of Harry Potter

Google Arts & Culture is a Google tool that functions as an online museum in the browser. Launched in 2011 under the name Google Art Project, it allows you to tour art galleries without leaving home. This time, the platform brings to the screens of the PC a virtual exhibition on the world of Harry Potter in celebration of the 20 years of the franchise.

The "Harry Potter: A Magic Story" exhibition originally took place in the British Library in the UK, but now you can see it online at Google Arts & Culture. The collection features first drafts by author JK Rowling, scenario sketches and accounts of early work ideas and interviews that help us better understand what inspired the creation of characters such as Harry, Ron and Hermione. See the step-by-step guide to how it works and how to use Google Arts to learn more about wizard books.
