J. K. Rowling announces three new Harry Potter books!

If you don't know that J. K. Rowling has recently released Harry Potter & the Cursed Child I'm not entirely sure where you've been for these last few months. Yet despite the hype, this has actually proved quite a scandal more than anything because despite there being some Potterheads who are overjoyed at having tickets for the play and getting a chance to sink their teeth into its script, not everyone--myself included--is that pleased. I have no desire to read through a tedious script of nothing but dialogue and I know that others agree, many of whom feel cheated that Rowling didn't release the story as a proper and fully-fledged novel for them.

Yet we don't have to be that disappointed and Pottermore has officially announced that there will be three new books set in the Potter world! I know this has all been very hush hush and I didn't believe it at first either, but the announcement is right here on the Pottermore site!

It looks like each of the new books will be an anthology that explores the mythology surrounding the Harry Potter books and many of the characters that have featured in the core series. What's more Pottermore claims that the three books will be released on 6th September, which is ludicrously soon and will really wet our appetites for the upcoming film, Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them, in November!

2016 is really shaping up to be a good year for Potterheads everywhere and I'm definitely looking forward to the new releases! Are you?
