The Harry Potter franchise is set to release four new eBooks next month, much to the delight of its fan base on 27 June, offering fans of the boy-who-lived, the chance to 'delve deeper into the rich history of magic'. The non-fiction short stories, by the name, 'Harry Potter: A Journey Through…' have been adapted from the audiobook Harry Potter: A History of Magic, which was inspired by the British Library exhibition, in which J.K. Rowling is not involved. The 'bitesize' eBooks will be themed around lessons Harry and his friends studied at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. These include Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Herbology, Divination, Astronomy and Care of Magical Creatures. The Pottermore website promises the books 'will take you back in time once again to learn about the traditional folklore and magic at the heart of the Harry Potter stories.'
The first two books, Harry Potter: A Journey Through Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts and Harry Potter: A Journey Through Potions and Herbology will be released on 27 June. The third and fourth books - Harry Potter: A Journey Through Divination and Astronomy and Harry Potter: A Journey Through Care of Magical Creatures - will be released soon after. The eBook shorts are inspired by the 2017 British Library exhibition Harry Potter: A History of Magic and its companion book. All of the four stories have been illustrated by London-based artist Rohan Daniel Eason. While they will be launched in the following languages: English, French, Italian, and German initially, and will be available for a pre-order.

The first Harry Potter novel was released in 1997. They follow young wizard Harry, and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley during their time at Hogwarts. Harry's parents were killed when he was a baby by the novels' antagonist Lord Voldemort, who tries to kill the boy wizard and destroy the wizarding world with his followers made up of the Death Eaters and Dementors. The seven books spawned a worldwide Harry Potter franchise - with eight blockbuster films as well as a themed area at Universal Studios and a studio tour in London. Daniel Radcliffe starred as Harry Potter in the film, with Emma Watson essaying Hermione Granger and Rupert Grint played Ron Weasley.
