After holding out for quite some time, J.K. Rowling has decided to make the Harry Potter series available via ebooks.

I’m really thrilled to hear this. I like the Harry Potter series and feel like those thick books are just made for the Kindle. I know kids struggle to carry these volumes around in their book bags. Now, they can just download them.

Rowling is going to make these books available herself on a special website dedicated to the Potter tales, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The free-to-access site, known as Pottermore, launches for the first million users on July 31 and opens to the general public—with the online e-book store—in October. Once the online store opens, the full Harry Potter series will be available as e-books in multiple languages, compatible with any electronic reading device.

I know I’ll be logging in come October to start downloading. Wonder if I’ll need a wand?
