The magic continues! J.K. Rowling is set to release three more Harry Potter books. The bestselling British author made the announcement on her Pottermore.com website on Wednesday, August 17.
Pottermore Presents is a set of three ebook shorts, which will be released on September 6. The titles are Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide, Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Political and Pesky Poltergeists and Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies.
According to the site, they will "dig deep into the Harry Potter stories, with tidbits taken from Pottermore’s archives and original writing from J.K. Rowling" and add "insights into the stories, settings and characters and were all lovingly curated by Pottermore."

Muggles will particularly learn more about the "horrors of Azkaban prison," Care of Magical Creatures professor Silvanus Kettleburn and Minerva McGonagall's involvement in the second wizarding world.
The announcement comes just two weeks after Rowling's Harry Potter and the Cursed Child hit shelves. The book is the script of a two-part stage play, currently being performed in London’s West End theater district.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child focuses on Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley's eldest son, Albus Severus Potter, and his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The book, which of course also features Harry and his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger — all grown up — sold two million copies in just the first two days of its release.
Rowling has been keeping readers on their toes. It was only late last month that she said that Cursed Child would be the last Harry Potter book.
"[Harry] goes on a very big journey during these two plays and then, yeah, I think we’re done," she told Reuters. "This is the next generation, you know. So I’m thrilled to see it realized so beautifully but, no, Harry is done now."
