重磅消息来啦!说好封笔的罗琳阿姨又开始写哈利波特系列了~ 对,你们没有看错,哈迷们有福了!快来看看官网发布的消息吧~~ 

We’ve learned so much more about the wizarding world this year already. There's the play and script book of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts One and Two, and soon there will be even more to discover when Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them lands in cinemas this November.
今年关于魔法世界的书已经有好多啦~ 《哈利波特与被诅咒的孩子》第一部和第二部已经有剧本和样书,很快11月电影《神奇生物在哪里》也会在各大影院上映。

Now Pottermore is opening yet another door, with a new set of eBook shorts called Pottermore Presents.
现在Pottermore再次打开魔法世界的大门——推出一系列的名为Pottermore Presents的电子书。

Pottermore Presents is a series of bite-sized eBooks that dig deep into the Harry Potter stories, with titbits taken from Pottermore’s archives and original writing from J.K. Rowling. The series offers Harry Potter fans added insights into the stories, settings and characters and were all lovingly curated by Pottermore.
这套书计划以系列电子书的形式出三本,故事不会太长。重点挖掘哈利波特系列背后的故事。故事来自Pottermore档案中的逸闻趣事,或者是JK罗琳最原始的系列手稿。Pottermore精心推出的这一系列将会让哈迷们对原著中的故事、背景以及人物性格有更深入的了解

这一些列书封面如下:

The three eBooks will be released on 6 September – just in time for a new term at Hogwarts – and each explores a different Hogwarts-related theme.
这三本电子书将在9月6日发售—— 刚好也是霍格沃茨的开学季哦~ 每本书都跟霍格沃茨相关,但主题不同。

Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide dives into the nooks and crannies of the beloved wizarding school itself, unfurling everything from details about the Hogwarts ghosts, to what happens when the Sorting Hat can’t decide on a student’s house.
在《霍格沃茨不完全手册》 这本书中,将会介绍这所为人钟爱的魔法学校鲜为人知的方方面面,事无巨细地为读者呈现霍格沃茨中的幽灵鬼魂的生活细节,甚至连分院帽无法决定学生去哪个学院时会发生什么都会写~ 

Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics and Pesky Poltergeists explores the darker roots of the wizarding world. You’ll learn more about the troubles that faced the Ministry of Magic, the horrors of Azkaban prison and enjoy an entirely new original piece of writing by J.K. Rowling on Horace Slughorn.
《霍格沃茨的魔法、政治和调皮捣蛋鬼的故事》则带麻瓜们了解魔法世界的阴暗面。你不仅能了解到魔法部面临的麻烦,阿兹卡班监狱骇人听闻的故事,还能享受到JK罗琳原创的关于霍拉斯•拉格霍恩巫师的故事哦~
 
 
Finally, in Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies, Pottermore celebrates the colourful staff of Hogwarts. There’s more to discover about Care of Magical Creatures teacher Silvanus Kettleburn, as well as another new piece of writing from J.K. Rowling on Minerva McGonagall, and her involvement in the second wizarding war.
最后一本《霍格沃茨的英勇事迹、苦难和危险嗜好》则赞美了霍格沃茨中形形色色的代表人物。比如保护神奇生物课的教师凯特尔伯恩教授,格兰芬多学院的院长变形课教授——麦格教授。JK罗琳特地写了一篇关于麦格教授的新故事,讲到了她在第二次巫师战争中的种种事迹!

So, for those who want to quench their thirst for more knowledge about the wizarding world, such as why the Black family bestow such odd names to their children, how a witch or wizard becomes a portrait, or what J.K. Rowling really thinks about Professor Umbridge, step right this way to find out.
所以!想要一饱眼福一睹为快的哈迷们——想知道为什么黑魔法家庭给他们的孩子那么古怪的名字吗?麻瓜巫师是怎么变成肖像画的,到底JK罗琳是怎么看待魔法部派来的噩梦——乌姆里奇教授的?魔法世界的大门再次向你们打开~~ 

Pottermore Presents will be available from a wide range of digital eBook retailers around the world, officially released on 6 September in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish. You’ll also be able to purchase it right here on Pottermore.
这套书将会在9月6日以电子书的形式在全世界范围内正式发售。当天发售的国家(中国要等等)有英、法、德、意大利、日、荷兰、巴西、葡萄牙和西班牙。电子版也可以在官网预定。
