Summary

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.

Narrated by People's Choice Awards Winner and BAFTA nominated Andrew Lincoln, best known for his role on The Walking Dead, the audiobook edition also includes more than an hour and a half of bonus content.

The audiobook edition includes more than an hour and a half of bonus content. This includes the history of the Quidditch World Cup Final and commentary on the 2014 World Cup Final from the perspective of Rita Skeeter (Annette Badland) and Ginny Potter (Imogen Church). This additional content was written by J.K. Rowling and is also available to read on wizarding world.com.

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.

A great addition to my Harry Potter collection

I loved this detailed amusing Hogwarts library book. Funny, incredibly imaginative and interesting. We get to learn the roots of the Quidditch teams mentioned during the Harry Potter books and learn about the development and history of the sport through Harry's favourite library book.
Andrew Lincoln does a wonderful job bringing the amazing J.K. Rowling's writing to life.

Delightful!

Andrew Lincoln's narration was terrific, I really enjoyed this audiobook. If any criticism were to be made, the sound effects are considerably louder than the narration so I often got a fright while listening. The bonus material at the end was brilliant, especially Rita Skeeter and Ginny's interactions!
