From the publisher

If you have ever asked yourself where the Golden Snitch came from, how the Bludgers came into existence, or why the Wigtown Wanderers have pictures of meat cleavers on their robes, you need Quidditch Through the Ages. This invaluable volume is consulted by young Quidditch fans on an almost daily basis. Proceeds from the sale of this book will go to Comic Relief, who will use your money to continue improving and changing lives – work that is even more important and astonishing than the three-and-a-half-second capture of the Golden Snitch by Roderick Plumpton in 1921. – Albus Dumbledore

“Of the Hogwarts textbook series of books published, this wasn't my favorite--but that also might be because Quidditch really was never my favorite part of the Harry Potter books either. If you loved reading about Quidditch in the Harry Potter series, then give it a try!”
