In September, Pottermore is releasing three eBooks on the wizarding world. The eBooks will be short story format and will be called "Pottermore Presents." On the official website, "Pottermore Presents" are described as "a series of bite-sized eBooks that dig deep into the Harry Potter stories, with tidbits taken from Pottermore's archives and original writing from J.K. Rowling." These three collections will offer some insight into the characters and settings of the Harry Potter universe.

The first book, "Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide" will elaborate on 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." Basically, it will be a condensed version of Hermione Granger's favorite book, "Hogwarts: A History."

The second book is "Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics, and Pesky Poltergeists." According to Pottermore, this books "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." The book seems like it will appeal to most Slytherins but most houses will likely enjoy it.

The third and final book that will be released is "Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship, and Dangerous Hobbies." This book will focus on the staff of Hogwarts, including Care of Magical Creatures Professor Silvanus Kettleburn and stories on Minerva McGonagall and her involvement in the second wizarding war against Voldemort.

All of the "Pottermore Presents" will be released on September 6 and will be available in a variety of digital eBook dealers and is available for preorder. They will also be available in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish.

Personally, I am so excited for the release of these books! I believe that they will be a good way to mentally prepare fans for the release of the new movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them" which will be released in theaters in November. You can read more about this wizarding movie in my article "Wizarding in North America." Until these eBooks are released in September, the only thing we can do is wait and reread "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts One and Two."

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
