Are you ready to read the third and final Magic in North America short story from J.K. Rowling?!
The Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA) just dropped on pottermore.com and explores the roots of America’s secret wizarding governing body and is available exclusively
It also “reveals how MACUSA was formed and tracks the odyssey of its various headquarters as it moved from an enchanted edifice in the Appalachian Mountains to Williamsburg, Virginia; Baltimore, Maryland; Washington, D.C.; and, finally, to New York City, where it was magically modified to be hidden from No-Majs (the American term for Muggles).”
In addition, The Magical Congress of the United States of America references the upcoming movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which hits theaters on November 18.
Now you can find out your very own Patronus animal!
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has revealed a test you can take, which she took “ages ago” and learned that hers was a pine marten.
But it’s changed since then!
“As many of you have now realised, the @pottermore Patronus Test is finally live!” J.K.tweeted. “I took the @pottermore test (which I wrote) ages ago when it was a work in progress and got a pine marten Patronus. I was happy, because…… my fondness for weaselly creatures is well documented. However, when we finalised the @pottermore test last week I took it again…… and found that it had changed (which, as we know, can happen). My new Patronus has personal associations and I like it even better…… so as far as I’m concerned, the @pottermore test works! Here’s my Patronus…It’s a heron :)”

J.K. Rowling just announced that she’s going to release three more Harry Potter books on Pottermore!
The new writings will be released as short eBooks called Pottermore Presents and will feature original writings from J.K. as well as information from the Pottermore archives.
The series is intended to supplement the original novels and will detail the inner works of the Ministry of Magic, the history of the Azkaban prison and the second wizarding war.
The books, titled Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide; Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics and Pesky Poltergeists; and Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies, are all set to be released on September 3rd!
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling just confirmed that she’s officially done with his story after The Cursed Child.
“[Harry] goes on a very big journey during these two plays and then, yeah, I think we’re done,” J.K. told Reuters. “This is the next generation, you know. So, I’m thrilled to see it realized so beautifully but, no, Harry is done now.”
She continued, “[The play] chimed perfectly with the material I had about the next generation and I could see it would work perfectly. So, I never wanted to write another novel, but this will give the fans something special.”
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child takes place 19 years later, and follows Harry‘s son Albus Severus as he attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The play is now showing on London’s West End and was released in book form on J.K. and Harry‘s birthdays – July 31!
The movie opens in 1926 as Newt (Eddie Redmayne) has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures.
Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident�were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt’s fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.
Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne of course stars as the wizarding world magizoologist Newt Scamander.
