Описание и характеристики
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.

Очень увлекательно было изучать историю Квиддича с массой интересных подробностей и любопытных исторических фактов, прекрасно и разнообразно оформленных большим количеством ч/б иллюстраций в стиле гравюры и разнообразием шрифтов. Забавное предисловие от Альбуса Дамблдора да и вся книга написана с таким острым юмором, что можно в голос посмеяться. В то же время есть ощущение исторической достоверности и читается почти как документальный труд.
