Three new Harry Potter books are being released… and they’ll be out before Christmas

Because for us muggles, there's no such thing as too much HP

IT'S September 1, which means we're about to swap balmy summer evenings in the beer garden for our sofa, a blanket and the heating on full blast.

And with Fantastic Beasts 2 fever about to kick in, we can think of no better accompaniment to our cosy nights in than a new Harry Potter book.

That's exactly what we'll soon be able to get our hands on, as three exciting page-turners have been announced.

While they're not written by J.K. Rowling, they still look like magical offerings that any HP fanatic will be keen to read.

They're based on the film series, offering movie-making tips, behind-the-scenes facts and pop-up landscapes.

Basically, we smell collectors' items.

A Pop-Up Guide To Hogwarts by Matthew Reinhart is set for release on November 1, and opens flat to form a pop-up map of Hogwarts and its grounds.

In addition to this, mini pop-ups bring to life props such as the Marauder's Map and the Flying Ford Anglia.

The second hardback is entitled Creatures: A Paper Scene Book, and is released on November 1.

This carefully-crafted book contains four intricate paper-cut scenes, showcasing magical creatures from the films in silhouette.

These include hippogriffs, dragons, Thestrals and merpeople.

Imagining Hogwarts: A Beginner's Guide To Moviemaking by Bryan Michael Stoller will be available on October 30.

It teaches readers how to make costumes and storyboards, which is great if Daniel Radcliffe and co. have inspired you to pursue a career in film.

Unfortunately, the books - which are all published by Insight Editions - don't come cheap.

While they can be bought individually, the whole set comes in at around £90.

We think they're worth it, but it's probably a good time to cut back on the Butterbeers.
