Synopsis

This supplement to the world of Harry Potter was written by J. K. Rowling for Britain's Comic Relief charity. This 56 page book provides a detailed overview of Quidditch, from the formations, team history, famous players, and a list of fouls. Intended to be an "exact replica" of a textbook used by the students at Hogwarts, Quidditch Through the Ages features a foreword by Albus Dumbledore, a library card showing checkout by Harry, Hermione, and Ron, as well as a jinx from the librarian: A warning: If you rip, tear, shred, bend, fold, deface, disfigure, smear, smudge, throw, drop, or in any other manner damage, mistreat, or show lack of respect towards this book, the consequences will be as awful as it is within my power to make them. ~ Irma Pince, Hogwarts Librarian
