Harry Potter Fans rejoice as another book is to be released. JK Rowling announced this week that the next book is set to be on bookshelves for November.
This year marks 20-years since the world was transfixed by the boy who lived in, and his years and battles, at Hogwarts. Two books will be released, and the first book will focus on wands. Warner Bros and Insight Editions have teamed up to create the exclusive upcoming titles. "Harry Potter: The Wand Collection" will delve into, and explore, the history behind the most famous wands used in the books, and of course, in the films.
The books will include the magic behind the props that were created during the filming of the "Harry Potter" movies.
Turning 20
The concept is to allow fans to see how the prop team made the wands. Each character’s wand will be featured, including Hermoine's and what made her wand so special. Each character will have a profile of their wands, skills, and story of why that wand chose them.
This year Harry Potter has turned 20. However, there are plenty of celebrations set to happen in the next few months and into the new year.
October is set to look magical for Potter fans with London’s British Library hosting an exhibition featuring rare books and manuscripts of the books.
