It has been over 16 years from the time the first Harry Potter book was released. From a child Harry Potter to a child of his own, the Pottermania has come a long way and so has the author.
J K Rowling is all set to release her three bite sized ebooks which will let the readers dig a little deeper into the lives of their favourite characters from the fiction series Harry Potter. The author has mainly focused on the "dark side" of the wizarding world of Harry Potter in these books.
Pottermore has announced the scheduled release of these three ebooks to be in September. Each of them, according to Pottermore, "explores a different Hogwarts-related theme." Will they feature Harry and his two best friends? From the titles it would seem, no.
The first in the series, this book will delve into the nooks and crannies of the wizarding world. The readers will get to explore the darker side of the wizarding world. The truth about the Hogwarts Ghosts and the Sorting Hat will be unveiled.
The second in the series, Power, Politics And Pesky Poltergeists will narrate the tale of friendships Tom Riddle had, who eventually became Voldemort, the history of the Azkaban prison, and the life story of the loathsome Professor Umbridge. So, another one that shows the dark side of the Harry Potter world.
The last in the series, Heroism, Hardship And Dangerous Hobbies, will include stories about Hogwarts transfiguration teacher Minerva McGonagall and werewolf Remus Lupin. In this book, finally, the colourful world of wizarding will be celebrated.
The books will be available in ebook format and will be released on September 6! Mark your calenders or schedule your purchase on Amazon!
