J.K. Rowling is obviously going through her Michael Corleone stage: every time she thinks she’s out, they pull her back in!
After proclaiming that Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows was her final Harry Potter adventure, along comes the stage play Harry Potter And The Cursed Child. And on top of that success is word that she will be premiering three Harry Potter-related 10,000 word story collections as ebooks. These will debut on September 6th on Pottermore.com and other ebook retailers.
Power, Politics And Pesky Poltergeists looks at the early days of Dolores Umbridge, the relationship between Professor Horace Slughorn and Voldemort when the latter was a Hogwarts student and not yet the dark lord whose name should not be spoken; and the history of Azkaban prison. Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies offers up profiles of Remus Lupin and Minerva McGonagall; while Hogwarts: An Incomplete And Unreliable Guide promises to take a behind-the-walls look at Hogwarts.
The Potterverse will also be expanding this holiday season with the release of Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, the first in a planned trilogy of films all based on a text used by the students of Hogwarts.
Pre-orders for the new ebooks begin on Wednesday August 24th.
