Quidditch Through the Ages (Harry Potter)
Product ID: 40083785
The most checked-out book in the Hogwarts Library, and a volume no Quidditch player or Harry Potter fan should be without! If you have ever asked yourself where the Golden Snitch came from, how the Bludgers came into existence, or why the Wigtown Wanderers have pictures of meat cleavers on their robes, you need Quidditch Through the Ages . This invaluable volume is consulted by young Quidditch fans on an almost daily basis.Proceeds from the sale of this book will go to Comic Relief, who will use your money to continue improving and changing lives -- work that is even more important and astonishing than the three-and-a-half-second capture of the Golden Snitch by Roderick Plumpton in 1921.-- Albus Dumbledore Review: It is perfect - Purchased for cosplay and reading. I like that the money goes to charity. The details are incredible, like the people who had “it.” It looks like a library book, complete with a warning from the librarian Mrs. Pince. Perfect exactly what I needed! 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!! Review: Charming and Unexpected - I was a little worried, because in theory it is like a fictional encyclopedia. I thought it might be weird to try to "learn" history, of a history that never existed and might feel like a pointless lecture where I learn unnecessary "facts". But luckily, I was pleasantly surprised that this book was as magical, fun, and just as unexpected as the rest of J.K. Rowling's books. There is a foreword "by" Albus Dumbledore and it is charming and fun. Reading this short book over about an hour and a half left a smile on my face. It actually made me appreciate the quidditch scenes more from the movies and understand the game better. It made me want to watch the movies all over again. If you want a light read, maybe for the bus/train or to read before you go to bed to put you in a good mood, this is the book for you. May I also say, the proceeds of this book go to charity, and a wonderful one, which is a reason itself to buy this book

Cool novelty book
This is a novelty book to keep with the Harry Potter series on your bookshelf. It is referenced in the series and makes a nice addition to the collection. My kids have commented how cool the presentation of this book is, from cover to pages.

Beautiful cover and interesting content
I love this cover collection and own all three, they are beautifully done. The content is good, it's fun for genuine Harry Potter fans, but if you aren't a super nerd you probably won't appreciate it or care for it.

Total Nerdgasm
One of the most in-depth fictional history books I've ever read. Absolutely loved it. Covers everything from how and where quidditch started, the broom games that contributed to the creation of quidditch, the history of all the balls, positions, prominent world teams, and why quidditch isn't as popular in the states similarly to soccer. Wonderful read. Highly recommend if you're a Harry Potter fan. Total nerdgasm.

From Hogwarts Library
I loved it! It came in excellent condition with no complications obtaining it. I loved how it was written with notes and everything! It is a book only on the guidelines of Quidditch. It was perfect in the sense that I was needing this book for a paper that discussed the rules and guidelines of quidditch!
