A Bloomsbury report released this morning got fans speculating with their mysterious statement that they hope a new Harry Potter related 3-book box set will boost their sales over the coming year. No more details were given and many of us were led to believe this simply meant a new release of Quidditch Through The Ages, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The Tales of Beedle the Bard was in the pipeline.

However, another snippet of information found by a Hypable.com reader suggests it might be something more – a ”Hogwart’s Library Box Set” written by JK Rowling. This lines up with the recent release of library book excerpts on Pottermore. From that Sharecast.com article:

Bloomsbury, which is to release a Hogwart’s Library Box Set by JK Rowling and Three Good Things by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall in 2012, said it would extend its focus on its academic business following the acquisition of Continuum.
