Harry Potter: A Journey Through Divination and Astronomy
We all know that Hermione Granger never liked reading about divination as she considered it as not real magic, but we all know how Professor Sybill Trelawney's predictions helped Harry Potter in his fight against Tom Riddle. In the third Harry Potter book, we might get to learn a few new things about the positioning of planets and how they affect us.
Harry Potter: A Journey Through Care of Magical Creatures
In JK Rowling's Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, we learned about some amazing creatures from the magical world. In the upcoming book, we expect to understand more about them.
All four new Harry Potter books will be released very soon. The first two titles will be released on June 27 and the others will be available in the next couple of months.
