Starting June 19, Amazon is adding all seven Harry Potter books (in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish) to the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library (KOLL). Amazon has purchased an exclusive license from J.K. Rowling’s Pottermore to make the addition of these titles possible.

The Kindle Owners’ Lending Library is a benefit of Amazon Prime membership. KOLL now features over 145,000 books to borrow for free, including over 100 current and former New York Times Best Sellers, says Amazon.
