JK Rowling has announced the launch of four new Harry Potter stories that will be made available from June 27.
The e-book shorts will be a series called 'Harry Potter: A Journey Through..." and will be based on lessons at Hogwarts and will feature illustrations from London-based artist Rohan Daniel Eason.
The short stories are inspired by the British Library exhibition and its companion books, 'Harry Potter: A History of Magic'.
Last year an audiobook was released featuring expanded interviews with exhibition curators and was narrated by Game of Thrones actress Natalie Dormer.
