The Harry Potter-verse never seems to stop growing, thanks to things like new rides at the Universal theme parks and Fantastic Beasts spin-off movies keeping us entertained (and spending our hard-earned sickles). Plus, J.K. Rowling’s lively Twitter feed is a constant source of reveals and fresh details.

And Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff alums alike will be thrilled with the latest news: According to Pottermore, four new e-books will be added to the wizarding world of Harry Potter this summer. The series of eBook shorts will be themed around different Hogwarts lessons, which sounds like just the thing to deepen your knowledge in the same way Harry, Hermione, Ron and the rest of the students did in the original books.

“The series features four bitesize reads, each themed by Hogwarts lessons, and will take you back in time once again to learn about the traditional folklore and magic at the heart of the Harry Potter stories,” the site says. The shorts are adapted from the audiobook, Harry Potter – A Journey Through A History of Magic, and “are a chance to absorb the colourful characters and curious incidents of the real history of magic in a more compact form—perfect for the train or whatever Muggle transport you prefer.” They will also include notes, manuscript pages, and “charming” sketches, according to Pottermore.

The four titles are Harry Potter: A Journey Through Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts, Harry Potter: A Journey Through Potions and Herbology, Harry Potter: A Journey Through Divination and Astronomy, and Harry Potter: A Journey Through Care of Magical Creatures, and the first two will be released on June 27.

Fans were understandably excited and took to social media to express their feelings, which ranged from “screaming” to “my summer is gonna be littttt!” Yup, our thoughts exactly.
