Did you know that: there are 700 ways of committing a foul in Quidditch? The game first began to evolve on Queerditch Marsh – What Bumphing is? That Puddlemere United is oldest team in the Britain and Ireland league (founded 1163). All this information and much more could be yours once you have read this book: this is all you could ever need to know about the history, the rules – and the breaking of the rules – of the noble wizarding sport of Quidditch.

Quidditch Through The Ages is another must read for Harry Potter fans. Out of all three charity books J.K. Rowling wrote related to the world of Harry Potter, I actually enjoyed this one the most. It was fast, focused on the history of the teams which made me laugh out loud a couple of times, and then talked about the rules of Quidditch. Maybe it’s because Quidditch is my favorite sport in the world (Muggles play it through nowadays, just Google it!) Never actually done it, though…

The book had some clever explanations and overall, it was really good. It shows the world of Harry Potter and its whimsicalness, and is a great addition to the original series. Charming and entertaining.
