J .K. Rowling has some good news for fans of her "Harry Potter" universe, especially ones on this side of the Atlantic.

 

The author's website, Pottermore, will publish a four-part story this week called "History of Magic in North America." The story will provide the background for "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," the film adaptation of Rowling's "Harry Potter" prequel book, which is scheduled for release in November.
