Fans of the Harry Potter universe are probably the luckiest fans in the world.

Even after our beloved series came to a close when the final book and movie were released, the magic lived on in the form of a new movie, a new play, and now three new short story books.

The best part about these latest additions? They're actually written by J.K Rowling herself.

Many fans expressed concern about Harry Potter and the Cursed Child due to the fact that Rowling was not the author herself, but instead contributed the story upon which playwright Jack Thorne was able to write the play.

The three short story books are a part of the new Pottermore Presents series, a new series of short books containing information revealed on Pottermore over the years, as well as new information from Rowling about our favorite wizarding world.

Each book can be easily read in under an hour, and will only be available in ebook form.

Sadly, we'll be missing out on that new book smell with this series.

The first of the series of three books is called Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics, and Pesky Poltergeists. Try saying that one three times fast.

This first installment will feature the likes of Dolores Umbridge and young Tom Riddle, some of the series most nefarious villains, which is especially fitting as the theme of this set of stories is "temptation, power, mischief, and villany."

Next is Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship, and Dangerous Hobbies, which will be all about Minerva McGonagall and Remus Lupin.

Two of the series best (if I do say so myself) are finally getting their moment in the spotlight.

Last on the list is Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide, which sounds like something you might see on sale at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, but you won't have to travel all the way to Diagon Alley to get this guide.

These three books will be available on Amazon, iBooks, and Barnes and Noble for download on September 6th, just in time for the new school year.

From the sounds of things, it looks this is just the beginning of a brand new series in the Harry Potter universe, which means Potter fans will be satisfied for years to come.
