If you are a Potterhead or have a friend who is one, you surely know that July is when most books of the fantasy series were published and that it also the month when Harry Potter’s birthday is celebrated. Naturally, during this time of year, Potterheads the world over revel in discovering and discussing theories with each other. 

To take the love for this fictional character and his universe, and channel it towards helping with Covid-19 relief work, the eArth Samvarta Foundation (eSF), an Uttar Pradesh-based not-for-profit organisation is co-hosting ‘PotterWatch, a Harry Potter Quiz Championship’ on July 4. The quiz, which will be conducted by quizmasters and organisers, Srinath Bharadwaj, Abhineet Pandey and Medha Bose, aims to raise funds to provide access to the best medical facilities to rural India, where people are still in the midst of the second wave, while also preparing for a possible third wave.
