It has been
announced today that
Bloomsbury, the British Harry Potter publishers, have plans to re-release
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and
Quidditch Through the Ages. They were originally released in 2002 and 2004 to benefit
Comic Relief. A percentage of the price (£1.15 from each £4.99) from the new releases will also go to the charity, which aids those in need in Africa and the United Kingdom.
The new editions are set to be longer, with 128 pages rather than 96, indicating that there may be some new content. So far both books have sold around half a million copies each.
Quote:
A spokesman for Bloomsbury said: “There are always new Harry Potter readers coming to the series each year who will be looking for other exciting things to read.”
