Two New Harry Potter Books Arrive in February 2027

What Bloomsbury Just Announced

Bloomsbury Publishing has officially announced two new additions to the Wizarding World: Pocket Potters: Professor McGonagall and Pocket Potters: Fred and George Weasley. According to Collider, the two books are due for release in February 2027, joining a Pocket Potters line that already includes guides for Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Professor Dumbledore, and Luna Lovegood. Each volume is a compact, full-color character guide packed with quotes, story moments, illustrations, and small facts, aimed at introducing young readers to the franchise while giving longtime fans another collectible. FandomWire notes that Bloomsbury's official announcement confirms both the additions and preorders, and describes the line as accessible to younger readers without leaving seasoned Potterheads empty-handed.

The Exact Release Date and Pricing

The scheduled date is a verifiable substrate fact reported by several outlets: both books publish on February 23, 2027. Techloy reports the UK publication date of February 23, 2027, with the standard hardback listed at £10 and a current pre-order price of £7. ScreenRant adds that the books are 32-page hardcovers, that Amazon lists them at $12 USD with a slightly later US release date of March 7, and that pre-orders are already open ahead of the February launch. The consistent pricing and page count across publishers suggests the Pocket Potters format is now a stable, ongoing product line rather than a one-off experiment.

McGonagall Under the Magnifying Glass

Pocket Potters: Professor McGonagall, illustrated by Natalie Smillie, explores the formidable Hogwarts professor's story. Collider reports it will cover her role as Head of Gryffindor House, her ability to transform into a tabby cat, and the Transfiguration lessons generations of students learned not to arrive late for, along with her relationships with Harry and fellow professors and the dry humor beneath the pointed hat. AOL, citing the book's synopsis, says the guide will reveal why Professor McGonagall gave Harry his first broomstick, the Nimbus 2000, and which animal she transforms into. FandomWire adds that Bloomsbury teases an answer to what makes someone a Hatstall.

Fred and George Get Their Own Mischief Managed

The companion volume, Pocket Potters: Fred and George Weasley, is illustrated by Helen Brady and leans into delightful anarchy. Collider says it will trace the twins from their years causing chaos at Hogwarts to the creation of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley, complete with Puking Pastilles and Extendable Ears. ScreenRant reports it covers their knowledge of Hogwarts' secret passages, magical inventions such as Canary Creams, and the antics leading to the joke shop. AOL quotes the official blurb as "an illustrated guide exploring Fred and George Weasley's pranks, secret passages at Hogwarts, and magical inventions like Canary Creams from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books," and notes the guides are designed for readers ages 8 and above.

Why the Timing Matters for the Franchise

The books arrive as the franchise enjoys an unusually busy stretch. Collider points to the acclaimed Audible Full-Cast Audio Editions and the first trailer for HBO's series, which premieres on Christmas. FandomWire argues the timing is strategic: viewers will meet a new McGonagall and new Weasley twins at Christmas — Janet McTeer and real-life brothers Tristan and Gabriel Harland, per harrypotter.com as cited by FandomWire — and two months later those same characters receive illustrated literary spotlights. ScreenRant frames it as a smaller door into the same castle for children encountering Hogwarts through the screen, and suggests the Pocket Potters line is becoming ongoing, with more characters likely to follow.

What Comes Next

For now, the practical path for fans is pre-ordering: Techloy confirms both titles are available through Bloomsbury, and ScreenRant says Amazon already has listings up. Whether the line expands further remains to be seen, though ScreenRant's reporting treats the new entries as clear indicators that Pocket Potters is an ongoing collection rather than a finite set. With HBO's adaptation renewed for a second season according to CBR, and the illustrated guides landing a few weeks after Season 1 concludes as CBR notes, the Wizarding World looks set to dominate both screens and bookshelves through 2027.
