Perfect for filling out my HP collection

As an avid Harry Potter lover this fits right in on my dedicated Harry Potter bookshelf!

Loved

I love being able to have some inside and something close to that of the characters in the book.

Great

This book is a great addition to your Harry Potter library. It also has proceeds going to charity.

They should add this to our History of Magic class.

Earlier this year Professor Binns assigned us a written report. History of Magic being the most boring class at Hogwarts, I was dreadding this assignment. That is, until I found a copy of QUIDDITCH THROUGH THE AGES in the school library. In his book, Kennilworthy Whisp discusses the evolution of Quidditch, racing brooms, the rules of the game, the pro-teams and their infamous incidents throughout the years.

Quidditch Through the Ages

The book "Quidditch Through the Ages"by J.K. Rowling is a great book to read if you like the Harry Potter books and the sport Quidditch als from those books.This book guides you from the beggining of Quidditch until the present of what Quidditch is now.The book is focused only on Quidditch,it talks about the many teams from England and many other countries as well. It also talks about where the bludgers came into existence, and why the teams have certain logos on their uniforms.The book mentions amazing events and things that have happened in historic matches.Also it talks on how rules have changed through time.There are many other features that this book includes,I hope you like it as much as I did.

A fun book

This cute little book was actually part of a pair (along with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) produced by J.K. Rowling for the charity Comic Relief. Written in a tongue in cheek manner, this books appears to be straight from the Hogwarts School Library, complete with borrow & due date list that includes one H. Potter! Purportedly written by one Kennilworthy Whisp, this book covers the evolution of Quidditch from its inception, and along the way explains how Quidditch is played.This is a fun book for any Harry Potter fan to own. It's a good, light-hearted read, and helps explain Quidditch to us muggles, in a manner much more clear than in the regular Harry Potter books. Bet this book!

Great!!

Very useful and very funny. Delightful reading. Makes me wonder how she got to imagine all the fantastic history of Quidditch.
