Two new Harry Potter books are on the way this year.

British publisher Bloomsbury is releasing two new background books in spring to continue celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the publication of the first book.

As Syfy reports, the books will be titled Harry Potter: A History of Magic - The Book of the Exhibition and Harry Potter - A Journey Through a History of Magic.

The books will tie in to the British Library's A History of Magic exhibition, which will run from October 20 to February 20.

Both books will explore new info from the Harry Potter universe. The exhibition is reported to display a range of information about the subjects taught at Hogwarts, Harry Potter's fictional wizarding school, including Defence Against the Dark Arts and Charms.

Bloomsbury marked the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on June 20 this year.

The announcement marks the latest expansion of the Harry Potter universe. The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film franchise is expected to continue with a sequel next year, while the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child continues its run in London and is due to debut on Broadway next year.
