Harry Potter fans better prepare for even more shenanigans at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, because J.K. Rowling is blessing us with a quartet of new eBooks.

The 53-year-old author is releasing four short stories in an all-new series called Harry Potter: A Journey Through… The franchise is inspired by the British Library exhibition and its companion books, Harry Potter: A History of Magic.

Harry Potter: A Journey Through… features four “non-fiction” stories: Harry Potter: A Journey Through Charms and Defence Against the Dark ArtsHarry Potter: A Journey Through Potions and HerbologyHarry Potter: A Journey Through Divination and Astronomy and Harry Potter: A Journey Through Care of Magical Creatures.

Each of the tales are designed to teach readers a new Hogwarts lesson, all while staying true to the traditional folklore and magic of the original Harry Potter series.

According to Pottermore, “In addition to exploring the origins of magic through history and folklore, the eBook shorts will also feature notes, manuscript pages and charming sketches as previously seen in Harry Potter: A History of Magic.”

The first two shorts—Harry Potter: A Journey Through Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts and Harry Potter: A Journey Through Potions and Herbology—will be available for purchase on June 27. The rest of the quartet will be published in the coming months.
