两本《哈利波特》新书将在10月份出版

当今年书迷庆祝《哈利·波特与魔法石》出版20周年时，英国布鲁姆斯伯里出版公司计划出版两本与“大难不死的男孩”有关的新书。

其中一本是休闲读本《哈利·波特：魔法史》，包括J.K·罗琳提供的哈利波特系列图书的原始手稿，以及提姆·皮克少校、露西·曼根、史蒂夫·贝克肖和安娜·帕福德等为展览不同部分撰写的文章。另外一本书《哈利·波特 — 魔法史之旅》面向家庭读者，将介绍霍格沃兹的魔法教授历史以及展览中的部分内容。

这两本书将于10月20日在英国发行。

可惜的是，这两本书均不是出自哈利·波特系列的原作者J.K·罗琳笔下。但是这两本书会在大英图书馆庆祝《哈利·波特与魔法石》出版20周年展览时配套发售。

哈利·波特迷们仍然可能会将它们抢购一空，让这家出版公司再赚一笔。

目前尚不确定它们是否会在美国发行。Scholastic负责在北美地区出版发行哈利·波特系列图书。（Scholastic的代表尚不确定这两本书在北美地区的发行情况。）布鲁姆斯伯里出版公司计划在20周年之际，在Pottermore网站上销售两本新书的数字版。

大英博物馆的展览将持续到2018年2月28日。（财富中文网）

As fans celebrate the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone this year, U.K. publisher Bloomsbury plans to release a pair of new books focused on The Boy Who Lived.

Harry Potter: A History of Magic, a coffee table book, will feature original drafts of Potter books by author J. K. Rowling of the books and essays on the various parts of the exhibition by writers such as Major Tim Peake, Lucy Mangan, Steve Backshall and Anna Pavord. The other, Harry Potter - A Journey Through A History of Magic, is aimed at family audiences and will examine the history of magic taught at Hogwarts, alongside selected items from the exhibit.

Both books will be out in the U.K. on October 20.

Sadly, neither of the new tomes was written by J. K. Rowling, the creator of the series. Instead, these books will accompany the British Library's exhibition celebrating the series' anniversary.

Still, fans of the series are likely to snap them up, further boosting the publisher's bottom line.

Whether they'll make their way over to the U.S. is unclear at this point. Scholastic publishes the Harry Potter series in North America. (A representative of Scholastic wasn't immediately sure of their status here.) Bloomsbury does plan to publish digital copies of the books on the 20th to the Pottermore website, however.

The exhibition at the British Library will run through Feb. 28, 2018.
