In an exciting announcement Monday, "Harry Potter" fans learned author J.K. Rowling is releasing a new series called "Magic in North America."
Each morning at 9 a.m. EST, a section of the writing will be published on fan site Pottermore.
The entire series is called "Magic in North America," but the first installment will be the "History of Magic in North America."
Think of it as chapters in a fictional textbook a witch or wizard might read in school while learning about the history of North America.
"Harry Potter" fans, especially those living outside of Europe, are thrilled to be learning more about Rowling's magical world as it applies to North America. From the US version of Hogwarts called Ilvermorny (pronounced Ill-ver-morn-ee) to a fictional take on the real Salem witch trials, fans are sure to fall right back into the wizarding world.
The writings are meant to gear up fans in time for the premiere of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"— Rowling's first movie screenplay coming to theaters this November. The movie will focus on magizoologist Newt Scamander as he travels to New York City in 1926.
Tech Insider will be closely following the new released writings, and breaking down every important nugget of magical knowledge revealed. Read our thoughts about the first section, which focuses on 14th through 17th century North America.
