If one new book and an upcoming movie weren’t enough to satiate the demands of the long-latent “Harry Potter” fandom, don’t worry.
We’re getting three more books—er, ebooks—chock-full of new short stories and information that’s slowly been leaking out of Pottermore since its inception in 2009.
The trio are going by the name of “Pottermore Presents” and will be released on Sept. 6, only a short five weeks after the release of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” script book that hit shelves in late July. Overkill? Maybe. Are we complaining? Hell no.
“Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide” will have all of the strange and unusual trivia you’ve ever wanted to know about the wizarding school. According to Pottermore’s site, this book will have “everything from details about the Hogwarts ghosts, to what happens when the Sorting Hat can’t decide on a student’s house.”
“Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Political and Pesky Poltergeists” seems pretty self-explanatory, but will explore “the darker roots of the wizarding world,” from Azkaban to Ministry secrets.
The third, “Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies,” dives into the life of the Hogwarts faculty, from everyone’s favorite badass McGonagall to evil b*tch queen Umbridge.
The books will be sold by various e-book retailers and on the Pottermore website.
