J.K. Rowling Is Releasing 3 New Harry Potter Books

In September, Pottermore is releasing three eBooks on the wizarding world. The eBooks will be short story format and will be called "Pottermore Presents." On the official website, "Pottermore Presents" are described as "a series of bite-sized eBooks that dig deep into the Harry Potter stories, with tidbits taken from Pottermore's archives and original writing from J.K. Rowling." These three collections will offer some insight into the characters and settings of the Harry Potter universe.

The first book, "Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide" will elaborate on the "nooks and crannies of the beloved wizarding school itself, unfurling everything from details about the Hogwarts ghosts, to what happens when the Sorting Hat can't decide on a student's house." Basically, it will be a condensed version of Hermione Granger's favorite book, "Hogwarts: A History."

The second book is "Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics, and Pesky Poltergeists." According to Pottermore, this books "explores the darker roots of the wizarding world. You'll learn more about the troubles that faced the Ministry of Magic, the horrors of Azkaban prison and enjoy an entirely new original piece of writing by J.K. Rowling on Horace Slughorn." The book seems like it will appeal to most Slytherins but most houses will likely enjoy it.

The third and final book that will be released is "Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship, and Dangerous Hobbies." This book will focus on the staff of Hogwarts, including Care of Magical Creatures Professor Silvanus Kettleburn and stories on Minerva McGonagall and her involvement in the second wizarding war against Voldemort.

All of the "Pottermore Presents" will be released on September 6 and will be available in a variety of digital eBook dealers and is available for preorder. They will also be available in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish.

Personally, I am so excited for the release of these books! I believe that they will be a good way to mentally prepare fans for the release of the new movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them" which will be released in theaters in November. You can read more about this wizarding movie in my article "Wizarding in North America." Until these eBooks are released in September, the only thing we can do is wait and reread "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts One and Two."

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
