Quidditch Through the Ages is a sweet little companion book that teaches Harry Potter fans how to play the much loved wizard sport played on broomsticks. It also contains fun facts about this great sort, so much that seems so real, and you'll want to jump on a broomstick and join in with your fellow magic folks.

Quidditch Through the Ages is a quick, short read that is a little treat for all Harry Potter fans, obsessed or just interested in that extra little things that bring the story together. The history in this book seems like it would of taken a lot of research to put the facts together, and it is hard to believe it was just the mind of one amazing women.

This companion book is truly a little fun read, and it won't take long to finish. It is totally worth reading if you loved the Harry Potter books, or just interested about the wizarding sport Quidditch.

Good Points
-The facts make this sport seem so fun and lifelike.

This is a book you cand read in a couple of hours and, if you really like Harry Potter and the magic world, you will definetely enjoy it.
A little bit of the history behind the story. Rowling manages to surprise you, again, with her imagination.

I got Quidditch Through the Ages as a set with Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them. Being the Potter nerd that I am I of course read both books. I must say this one wasn't for me. I loved the magical Beast book but the Quidditch way a bit boring for me. While I did find it intresting when I was done with it I was done, I have not picked it back up, I think if I was a boy & more into the sport of Quidditch I might have found it more intresting. I did like how Harry & Ron drew in it, I thought that was pretty cute.

Ever wonder about the origin of Quidditch? Ever want more information of some of the teams mentioned in the Harry Potter books? Take a peak into this Hogwart's Library book for answers to your questions!

This guide by JK Rowling about Quidditch will keep fans entertained with accounts and history as well as information on the sport! There are also some hilarious stories and facts! Team descriptions were also a funny read!

I recommend this to Harry Potter fans! Witty and informing, all Quidditch lovers will enjoy this great book!
