Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies
‘Minerva was the Roman goddess of warriors and wisdom. William McGonagall is celebrated as the worst poet in British history. There was something irresistible to me about his name, and the idea that such a brilliant woman might be a distant relative of the buffoonish McGonagall.’ – J.K. Rowling
Pottermore Presents is a collection of J.K. Rowling’s writing from the Pottermore archives: short reads originally featured on pottermore.com with some exclusive new additions. These eBooks, with writing curated by Pottermore, will take you beyond the Harry Potter stories as J.K. Rowling reveals her inspiration, intricate details of characters’ lives and surprises from the wizarding world.
These stories of heroism, hardship and dangerous hobbies profile two of the Harry Potter stories’ most courageous and iconic characters: Minerva McGonagall and Remus Lupin. J.K. Rowling also gives us a peek behind the closed curtains of Sybill Trelawney’s life, and you’ll encounter the reckless, magical-beast-loving Silvanus Kettleburn along the way.

Welcome To Hickville High: An upside down Cinderella story
Austin McCoy feels sorry for the three greenhorn sisters from Chicago. It must be hell to have been plucked from their private school and shopping malls and plunked in the middle of Hillside, Texas. But the sister who really gets his pulse jumping is the oldest, Kelsey. On the outside she’s all attitude. But when no one is looking and she forgets to be angry, he sees another side of Kelsey Quinn. The one whose eyes light up when she feeds the chickens. Now all he has to do is convince her the guy she really wants is the cowboy working with her, not some rich dude taking her to a ball in Chicago.
