t is a good year to be a Potterhead. Years after the original series ended, fans can relive the magic through the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child script book and the highly anticipated Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie, slated for the big screen this November.

In a set dubbed Pottermore Presents, JK Rowling treats readers to short stories about beloved characters in the wizarding world. Those who cannot ride the Hogwarts Express this academic year will not be disappointed as they will gain new insights into the magical school, including about its ghosts and the Sorting Hat. Some stories are archives from Pottermore, while other are new original work from Rowling herself.
The three books, titled 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, will be available in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish.
Potterheads can preorder the books through major e-book retailers. (kes)
