J.K Rowling has been promising us a new magical series and today the first instalment of her History of Magic in North America series went live on the Pottermore Website.
Focusing on the history of North American Wizards and Witches we here at FRA have been looking forward to reading the series and it does not disappoint.
At 9 am EST This morning The debut story in The History of Magic in North America, entitled “Fourteenth Century – Seventeenth Century,” was published and if I might say so myself, it’s brilliant! It looks at the early magical community of North America, its Skinwalkers, Native Americans and of course – wandless magic.
Over the next three days a further three instalments will appear on the Pottermore website at 9am EST.
Seventeenth Century and Beyond – March 9th
Anyone who has ever heard of the Salem Witch trials will know that being a witch or wizard in North America is even more dangerous than in Europe. This instalment explains, through the history of those trials just why.
Rappaport’s Law – March 10th
In the eighteenth century, after a major violation that resulted in humiliation for the Magical Congress of the United States of America (the U.S. version of the Ministry of Magic), the laws governing secrecy within the wizarding community of North America were made even stricter.
1920s Wizarding America – March 11th
This instalment tells the story of Wolfe, Jonker, Quintana and Beauvais the American makers of the finest wizarding implements.
I am like a child with a new toy, a dog with two tails, oh I don’t know; suffice to say I am extremely pleased that The History of Magic in North America is finally here. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am.
