It's a great time to be a wizard, or even a No-Maj. After releasing maps and descriptions of wizarding schools around the globe, J.K. Rowling will finally reveal details about the American wizarding school, Ilvermorny, as well as the history of magic in North America.

An exclusive video preview from Time, People and Entertainment Weekly teases spectacular stories and a history "more amazing than you could ever imagine."

The stories, releasing from March 8 onward, will cover the American wizard school, the Salem Witch trials, the intriguing legend of Native American "skin-walkers" and the Magical Congress of the United States of America. 

Little is known about the practice and preservation of magic in North America as of now -- but even considering that, the video warns, "everything you know is about to change."
