Publisher Description
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.

Customer Reviews
Absolutely worth every cent; thanks JKR, you’re awesome🙏🙏🙏
It was worth purchasing this audiobook just for the bonus content. Hearing about the, now-adult, surviving members of “Dumbledore’s Army” was completely unexpected, though, thoroughly enjoyed & appreciated.👏👏👏
I would have loved to have heard Bonnie Write narrate as “Mrs Ginny Potter”, but, we cannot have everything...
Quidditch is a real sport & listen to no one that declares otherwise.
Thank you J.K. Rowling, from the bottom of my heart. You’re an international treasure and institution, I have nothing but heartfelt love towards you.
Sincerely,
CJ
PS:
Very...very...very-extremely-politely, I add the following:
I am dyslexic & an Australian.
I’m forced to rely on audiobooks to permit my, frustratingly slow, mind true immersion into the “Potterverse”. To attempt to read books I must endure embarrassment & am forced to commit to a minimum of 3 x the ‘spare time’ as readers without my affliction.
After listening to this glorious extension of the ‘Harry Potter’ world, I am even more disappointed about “Harry Potter @ The Cursed Child”. You see, un Australia, it’s only accessible via paperback or via being a ‘Melbournian’ because that’s the inly city in our country that the play is in, & now due to our great friend, “COVID- One Niner” it’s literally impossible to see (& even before, cost prohibitive for many).
The Potterverse had always been about awareness & inclusion, however, I’m incapable of sharing your enjoyment in, what my nieces have quoted as “an unparalleled immersion into the modern-day Potterverse you must experience Uncle CJ”.
I’m not asking for discounts, or what many say is “special treatment”, I only ask that those that are born as I am, to be afforded an opportunity to enjoy the same immersion into Potter as everyone else gets to do.
Please, pleeeeease, release an audiobook version of the Cursed Child, J.K.R. Please help us ‘limitedly-literate-humans’ feel as the rest are blessed to feel...
😘😘😘🙏🙏🙏😘😘😘
