A perennial best-seller in the wizarding world and one of the most popular books in the Hogwarts School Library, Quidditch Through the Ages contains all you will ever need to know about the history, the rules - and the breaking of the rules - of the noble sport of Quidditch. Packed with fascinating facts, this definitive guide by the esteemed Quidditch writer Kennilworthy Whisp charts the game's history from its early origins in the medieval mists on Queerditch Marsh through to the modern-day sport loved by so many wizard and Muggle families around the world. With comprehensive coverage of famous Quidditch teams, the commonest fouls, the development of racing brooms, and much more, this is a must-have sporting bible for all Harry Potter fans and Quidditch lovers and players, whether the weekend amateur or the seasoned Chudley Cannons season-ticket holder.

Narrated by Andrew Lincoln, this is the first audiobook edition of Whisp's book ever to be released. Andrew is a People's Choice Awards winner and a BAFTA nominated actor, best known for his role as Rick Grimes in the TV series The Walking Dead.

Hi there. If you were thinking of purchasing this E-book then I highly recommend you do.

Not only does 'Quidditch Through The Ages' have every single possibly existing fact about the outrageous game Quidditch (Created through the brilliant mind of Joanne Kathleen Rowling*)but it answers all those questions.

If you don't like this book then BOO you, because this book rules.**

* J.K Rowling Is Called Joanne
**Spoiler Alert. Quidditch has been around since before 1400

This is Finn Signing Out.
PEACE

If you love Harry Potter then it's just a quick fun addition to the books. No more to it than that. Also, it's money for charity, so don't be cheap.

Interesting..

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 January 2014

I found this book to be far better than "fantastic beasts and where to find them" as it goes in to more depth with the history, which could be seen as very convincing. The book starts off by going into explaining the humble beginnings of the game in a wizard's family garden. The book continues on to the more primitive, earlier version of the game, the rules and the controversies, the historic games, the advances in broomsticks - how it was popular to make your own in the early stages of the games before witches and wizards eventually decided to buy them made from companies. It also talks about the balls used in the game and what they were once originally made of and what the Golden Snitch was based on. It finishes by explaining how the game is played today.
Throughout there are mentions of prominent Teams and Players throughout the world and how it spread throughout. A whole chapter being dedicated to the Quidditch teams of The UK and Ireland.

I love how Rowling does a great job making this world believable that it's actually real. I think all Harry Potter fans should at least read this once.

Excellent book from JK Rowling adding another sprinkle of magic to the Harry Potter universe. If you're a fan and you've read everything else HP related then I'd recommend investing in a copy of Quidditch Through the Ages as referenced in the books themselves!

Went through hell to get a boring book :(

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2021

Im a bit cautious about this book. I bought it a month ago, only for it to come with other things i’ve ordered from amazon but it wasn’t there. The box looked like it had been manually opened, which meant it had been stolen from the delivery person as i was at the door receiving my parcel or it hadn’t been shipped at all. I went on Amazon to see if it had came yet, it said it had arrived at my address but it just wasn’t there. So after the shock of that, I called amazon and i was given a free copy of the book. I was angry when they said it would come maybe in the month of March, two months!!

Anyways, I accepted. It came 2 weeks later the book, not in hardcover as I wanted. It took me 3 hours to read the book and it gave just a brief explanation of where and how quidditch appeared.
I’m a massive potter head and I would say there isn’t much to it, i’ve been collecting harry potter for 3 years and i’ve dedicated a whole room for it. It’s now sitting on a book display on my bookshelf with the rest of my collectibles. But i really did have to go through hell just to get a 150-190 page book that, not going to lie, is pretty boring. It’s just nice to display really.

Having read most of what has come out of the Wizarding World of JK, I would love to say this is a mandatory addition to collectors world over, but the sentiment is quite the opposite. Now unless I’d be intrigued by the factual delights of sport, I would be hard pressed to find this edition in the slightest entertaining what so ever. On the other hand, if you’re a harry potter fanatic, you may be able to get a kick out of even that with all things Quidditch.
