當今年書迷慶祝《哈利·波特與魔法石》出版20周年時，英國布魯姆斯伯里出版公司計劃出版兩本與“大難不死的男孩”有關的新書。

其中一本是休閑讀本《哈利·波特：魔法史》，包括J.K·羅琳提供的哈利波特系列圖書的原始手稿，以及提姆·皮克少校、露西·曼根、史蒂夫·貝克肖和安娜·帕福德等為展覽不同部分撰寫的文章。另外一本書《哈利·波特 — 魔法史之旅》面向家庭讀者，將介紹霍格沃茲的魔法教授歷史以及展覽中的部分內容。

這兩本書將于10月20日在英國發行。

可惜的是，這兩本書均不是出自哈利·波特系列的原作者J.K·羅琳筆下。但是這兩本書會在大英圖書館慶祝《哈利·波特與魔法石》出版20周年展覽時配套發售。

哈利·波特迷們仍然可能會將它們搶購一空，讓這家出版公司再賺一筆。

目前尚不確定它們是否會在美國發行。Scholastic負責在北美地區出版發行哈利·波特系列圖書。（Scholastic的代表尚不確定這兩本書在北美地區的發行情況。）布魯姆斯伯里出版公司計劃在20周年之際，在Pottermore網站上銷售兩本新書的數字版。

大英博物館的展覽將持續到2018年2月28日。（財富中文網）?

As fans celebrate the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone this year, U.K. publisher Bloomsbury plans to release a pair of new books focused on The Boy Who Lived.

Harry Potter: A History of Magic, a coffee table book, will feature original drafts of Potter books by author J. K. Rowling of the books and essays on the various parts of the exhibition by writers such as Major Tim Peake, Lucy Mangan, Steve Backshall and Anna Pavord. The other, Harry Potter - A Journey Through A History of Magic, is aimed at family audiences and will examine the history of magic taught at Hogwarts, alongside selected items from the exhibit.

Both books will be out in the U.K. on October 20.

Sadly, neither of the new tomes was written by J. K. Rowling, the creator of the series. Instead, these books will accompany the British Library's exhibition celebrating the series' anniversary.

Still, fans of the series are likely to snap them up, further boosting the publisher's bottom line.

Whether they'll make their way over to the U.S. is unclear at this point. Scholastic publishes the Harry Potter series in North America. (A representative of Scholastic wasn't immediately sure of their status here.) Bloomsbury does plan to publish digital copies of the books on the 20th to the Pottermore website, however.

The exhibition at the British Library will run through Feb. 28, 2018.
