JK Rowling Releasing Three More Harry Potter Books: Check Them Out!

2016 is proving to be a VERY good year for Harry Potter fans!

Not only have we been gifted with the eighth installment in the series, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, but we’ve also got the first installment of a new film trilogy, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, coming soon.

But guess what? According to a report in The Bookseller, THREE new e-books were listed on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple’s iBooks store under the headings “Pottermore Presents.”

Pottermore is the online platform that J.K. Rowling launched to give fans even greater access to the Wizarding World that she created.

The three stories are as follows:

You will also delve deeper into Horace Slughorn’s early years as Potions master at Hogwarts — and his acquaintance with one Tom Marvolo Riddle.”

"Stories of heroism, hardship and dangerous [focused on] two of the Harry Potter stories’ most courageous and iconic characters: Minerva McGonagall and Remus Lupin. J.K. Rowling also gives us a peek behind the closed curtains of Sybill Trelawney’s life, and you’ll encounter the reckless, magical-beast-loving Silvanus Kettleburn along the way.”
