The "Harry Potter'' author has completed a series of short digital works, Pottermore Presents, centered on the school where Potter and friends honed their magic. Three collections will be released Sept. 6 through Rowling's Pottermore web site, pottermore.com, which announced the books Wednesday.

The upcoming works include "Power, Politics and Pesky Poltergeists,'' "Short Stories from Hogwarts,'' which gives readers a chance to learn more about their favorite Hogwarts staff members; and "Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide," a tale that gives insight on the inner workings of the wizarding school.

Rowling already is having a busy year. In May, she was honored by PEN, the literary and human rights organization. The stage production "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child'' opened in July and the film "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,'' for which she wrote the screenplay, is coming out in November.

You can preorder the digital series at Barnes And Noble, Amazon.com, iBooks, Kobo Books, and on the Pottermore website.
