Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp
4.0

Another dive into the Harry Potter universe that was fun and enjoyably informative. This little book about the history of Quidditch covered early brooms, early broom games, the early days of Quidditch and how it’s changed over the years, common Quidditch fouls and strategies, the teams of Britain and the Isles, what Quidditch looks like around the world, and more. This was all very surface level information, which makes sense, as any more would have turned this entertaining little read into something more textbook/dry. Overall, my husband and I enjoyed reading this together before bed – learning more about the world of HP. In particular, we really loved the various snarky comments and sarcastic bits that were included, especially in some of “primary sources” (letters and such from throughout history that mention Quidditch as it progressed) and in the descriptions of high notes/points about the Quidditch teams of the Isle. Quick, easy and diverting read.
