Bloomsbury, the publisher of the "Harry Potter" series by author JK Rowling, also said it was counting on a new Rowling three-book box set tied into the Potter series, and a non-fiction account of spies in World War II to support sales in the coming year.......3-book box set tied to the Potter series WHAT

Also that gif is perfect.

Incredibly relevant! I have no idea what to think. JKR seems so controlled in announcing new endeavors that this almost feels like a editing slip-up. Like, someone wasn't supposed to let that go to press just yet.

UGH I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS. IS IT A PREQUEL? EPILOGUE COMPLIANT? THE YEARS BETWEEN THE EPILOGUE AND THE LAST CHAPTER OF DH? AAAAAH

I got it from Mugglenet, who sources Reuters. The whole thing is mostly about profits. Aurora had a thought that maybe this "new" 3-book addition would just be a repackaging of the supplemental stuff, like Quidditch, Fantastic Beasts, and Beedle. I kind of hope not. ;-;

The more I think about it, the more what Aurora thinks sounds plausible. I don't think it will be new material, or maybe it will be the supplemental info Pottermore gave us, packaged in a book format?

Also, another thought, maybe it's the encyclopedia she's mentioned about publishing before?

She's now said she's not releasing the encyclopedia :(

[themostepotente]

Is a next gen triology too much to hope for?

I think I'm the only person NOT excited about this purely because of the words 'tie in'. It doesn't say new harry potter books, it says tie in books. That could be anything from little school books for charity to a tales of Beedle style book.
She's also said she no longer has plans to release the encyclopedia even though a few months ago she said she was working on it.

Sometimes it's really not good to trust what she says, even though I love her loads.
