Harry Potter fans get excited; two new books from the beloved children's series are on the way.

The new books are being released as part of the British Library's A History Of Magic exhibition, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Harry Potter: A History of Magic, a coffee table book, will feature original drafts of Potter books by author JK Rowling, and essays on the various parts of the exhibition by famous British authors.

The other, Harry Potter - A Journey through a History of Magic, will be aimed at younger children and will examine the history of magic taught at Hogwarts, alongside selected items from the exhibit.

The new books about the Boy Who Lived are not written by Rowling herself, but feed into a growing world of Harry Potter expriences for fans in 2017. West End play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is currently running, as is the Harry Potter Warner Brothers Studio tour, in north London.

Both new books will be out in the UK on October 20.
