Written as an in-world reference rather than a novel, Quidditch Through the Ages traces the origins, rules and traditions of the wizarding sport across several centuries.
J.K. Rowling presents the material as the library book Harry consults at Hogwarts, covering how the game developed, the teams and players who shaped it, and the trivia that accumulates around any long-running sport. Emily Gravett's illustrations turn the fictional textbook into an object in its own right, with magical memorabilia and designed pages throughout. No knowledge of the main series is required to follow it, though readers who know the novels will catch more of the jokes.
Highlights of this edition:
• The history and rules of Quidditch set out as an in-universe textbook
• Illustrations and designed memorabilia by Emily Gravett
• Readable on its own without following the seven-book sequence
• Short enough to finish in a sitting or two
A good gift for Harry Potter readers, collectors and younger fans of the wizarding world, from Boipoka.
