It’s fasinating

Quidditch Through the Ages is a really cool book by J.K. Rowling! It’s all about my favourite wizarding sport, Quidditch! The book feels like a history book about the game, and I loved reading it so much because it tells you everything you need to know about Quidditch! I think it’s super interesting to learn about all the different teams from around the world. Each team has its own history and special things that make them unique. For example, the Wimbourne Wasps have an awesome name, and I love how they play! The book tells stories about famous players and matches, which makes it even more exciting. My favourite part of the book is learning about how Quidditch has changed over time. It’s fun to see how the rules have been made and changed. I never knew that the game used to be different before, and it was really cool to discover all the interesting facts! This book is not a story like Harry Potter, but it felt like I was learning from a Hogwarts textbook, which made me almost feel like a real wizard! I would definitely recommend this book to my friends, especially if they like sports or magic. It’s full of amazing facts and fun stories that would make anyone want to play Quidditch! It’s a must-read for anyone who wants to know about the magical world of wizards and their favourite sport!

I really liked this book as it brought a perspective of wizarding history. I loved learning about the evolution of the flying broom stick.

The ultimate guide and funny book to anyone interested in flying on a broom, this goes far back and tells the story of a well known wizarding game: Quidditch! A very recommended read of J.K. Rowling and is popular amongst Harry Potter fans. Also has a wonderful introduction and a funny middle and end. Good for anyone searching for a start to the wizarding world.

I loved it!

This book was a fantastically informative read. Whilst tributing to the stars of past and present, such as record breaking seeker, Roderick Plumpton, Kenilworthy Whisp has researched historical evidence of the worldwide spread and changes of Quidditch, dating back to Gertie Kettle's time! Overall I found this useful to expanding my Quidditch knowledge and passion.

It was really unhelpful and a bit boring. But I would recommend to Harry Potter Heads.
Viscount Pongo Astronomical 08.08.2023
Great book! It was fiction and for people who are interested in sports in the magical world. Yes i would recommend it.
Ambassador Carnaby Spaceship 02.08.2023
I gave this book a 4 star rating because on the first 2 chapters it was a bit boring for me. I found it a bit boring because it was the introduction and it was just talking about how wizards and witches keep magic away from muggles sight. I liked the bit were it was talking about the teams and who started them.
Professor Magnolia Ridiculous 28.07.2023
It was a very good book about the developing of Quidditch (a game played by witches and wizards). It told us about rules, moves, positions and brooms.

I liked the book because I like Harry Potter and this book described the main sport : Quidditch. I don't have a favourite character because it wasn't about characters it was about how to play Quidditch and how it evolved during the years. I would recommend it to other people who like Harry Potter.

I read it because I like quiditch and it explains how it evolved from using a leather ball and stones, and there was no hoops, just a basket.

I found this book very interesting. It tells you how Quidditch was invented and more. I would recommend this book to someone else.
Queen Blueberry Paddington 30.08.2022
It was good and my level. It was a factual on a fictional subject. I found interest in it as I am passionate for Harry Potter which is where this book originated as a extra. I would recommend it to any Harry Potter lover!
