Harry Potter fever still lingers and fans can get enough of the witchcraft and wizarding world. At the recent premiere of "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" in London, J.K. Rowling affirmed that she really is finished with writing regarding "Harry Potter". She will continue, however, to write about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Rowling's publishing platform, Pottermore, announced on Wednesday the arrival of e-book series prepared in the wizarding world. This is going to be a collection of her short stories as well as other writings from her website with the inclusion of some new tales regarding Hogwarts characters.
The initial three e-books will focus on the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with approximately 10,000 words. The news about the release of e-books brings joy but also created bafflement on social media as fans mistook it as another chapter from "Harry Potter" stories. Pottermore tried to nullify the hearsay, as reported by The New York Times.
Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima, also known as MinaLima were the ones responsible for the e-books' cover designs. They are also the team behind the graphic artwork designs of the "Harry Potter' movies. The e-books' release is just in time for a new stint at Hogwarts where each story depicts various Hogwarts-related theme, according to Pottermore.
"Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide" delves into the wizarding school's every corner revealing every detail from Hogwarts ghosts to Sorting Hat having difficulty making a choice on a student's house.
"Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics, and Pesky Poltergeists" probes the darker origins of the wizarding world. The troubles that dealt the Ministry of Magic and the horrors of Azkaban will be revealed. There will also be an original writing for Horace Slughorn.
Lastly, the "Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship, and Dangerous Hobbies", is the celebration of the Hogwarts colorful staff. There are still many to explore about "Care of Magical Creatures" Silvanus Kettleburn and an original writing for Minerva McGonagall and her inclusion in the second wizarding war.
Pottermore Presents offers a comprehensive range of digital e-book retailers worldwide. It will be released on Sept. 6 and is available in different language including Brazilian Portuguese, English, Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Italian and Spanish. The e-book series can also be pre-ordered at Amazon.com, Amazon UK, Barnes and Noble, iBooks, and Kobo Books.
