LOS ANGELES — It’s going to be a magical Christmas, after all.

JK Rowling will release 12 Harry Potter short stories this month in celebration of the 12 days of Christmas, the Telegraph reports. At least one of the stories will reportedly focus on Harry’s nemesis Draco Malfoy.

The author made the announcement in a newsletter to Harry Potter publishing website Pottermore members on Friday. The installments will be posted online daily beginning on Friday (Dec 12), at 5 am PT (9pm Singapore time) and continuing until Christmas Eve.

Pottermore teased “wonderful writing by J.K. Rowling in Moments from ‘Half-Blood Prince,’ shiny gold Galleons and even a new potion or two.”
