Since its publication, Quidditch Through the Ages has been one of the most popular books in the Hogwarts library. Read by Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and many more, it is the essential guide to the wizarding world's favourite game. Charting its journey from Queerditch Marsh in the eleventh century to the sophisticated sport of today, Quidditch Through the Ages will show you the moments of exhilarating triumph and crushing despair (such as supporting the Chudley Cannons) that are part of the game of Quidditch. Learn all about the history and rules of the game, from some of the 700 fouls (and which World Cup Final saw all of them committed) to the difference between a Transylvanian Tackle and a Woollongong Shimmy. The shelves of the Hogwarts Library are also home to many more fascinating books. If you have enjoyed Quidditch Through the Ages you might want to check out some of its other treasures: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The Tales of Beedle the Bard . Lumos Foundation is a registered charity in the UK with no. 1112575 (England/Wales). 15% of the proceeds* received by Pottermore Limited from this ebook will be made available for their work across the UK and globally including helping children and young people have a better life. *Proceeds means the cash-price or cash-equivalent price less sales taxes. Review: Interesting.. - 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 It also talks about the balls used in the game and what they were once originally made of and what the Golden Snitch was based on.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. Review: Wonderful - This is a great addition to any Harry Potter fan's collection. It arrived quickly and in perfect condition. The information inside is funny and interesting and is punctuated with wizarding newspaper articles and other items of interest. The book is a present for my little brother and he will love all the little extra details like the Hogwarts library sticker inside the front page, and the price in Galleons on the back. A great price too!

Good read
I used to own the original paperback version of the book but couldn't bring it with me when I moved areas. I decided to download it to my kindle as it's much more portable so I can read it anywhere. I got as much enumerated from it as I did the first time I read them. There are some interesting details written in this book and I marvel at the creative mind that J.K.Rowling has. There isn't a detail that's been overlooked with regards to quidditch and you can see how well thought out it was when she included it in the Harry Potter series. It is a good read for people wanting a little more information on this brilliant sport. ***** You are very welcome to ask any questions about my experience with this product.

Fantastic!
This book is such a fun and insightful book into the world of quidditch. Rowling herself has put so much thought into not only the origins of the game but also the evolution. It is by no means a long book but a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours. Perfect for all ages. And heck it's for charity! Don't you want to know where the snitch originated?

Beats a quaffle.
If you (or your children) enjoyed the Harry Potter books then this and the two companions, 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard' and 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' are a must for your library. Great 'facts' abound which is particularly useful for those whose knowledge of the 'Wizarding World' comes from the films and not the novels. I found my daughter, who's been watching the film series, finally picked up the novels after reading this book.

Worth the buy and completing the set.
I wanted to finalise my Harry Potter collection by getting this, Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them and Tales Of Beedle The Bard. Perfect condition, excellent read and although not rare, not a lot of the HP fans own these books due to them not being found as easily, always worth completing a set.

Great Potter educational, book
Could have been improved by a few short Stories, amusing, dramatic related to quidditch and the sport. Interesting read for all Potter fans.

Must read for Potter fans!
It’s a fun and quick read, full of little snippets into the game we wish we could play in reality. Not to mention it’s a charitable donation to Lumos, that’s the real reason to buy the book.
