Another fun Harry Potter supplement that J. K. Rowling wrote to support Comic Relief and Lumos.

I wasn't as into this one as the others. It's a description of the history of the game of Quidditch, changes in rules over time, teams, how it spread across the world, etc.

It's a fun and light read, but since sports are not my favorite thing, even fictional sports, I wasn't as interested. ( )

For Harry Potter fans interested in knowing more about Quidditch, this is the book to read. It covers the history and development of the game, the equipment and the teams in Britain and Ireland. The final section deals with teams around the world and its status today. What wonderful little book. ( )

J. K. Rowling, atendendo aos apelos dos leitores da série Harry Potter, escreveu, sob o pseudônimo de Kennilworthy Whisp, o livro Quadribol através dos séculos, um histórico completo sobre o jogo quadribol, desde a origem até o presente século, as modificações ocorridas no esporte, descrição do times e sua difusão pelo mundo. Quem leu as aventuras do aprendiz de feiticeiro mais famoso do mundo já deve estar familiarizado com o quadribol - esporte típico dos bruxos e tão popular para eles quanto o futebol para os não-bruxos. No quadribol, os jogadores ficam suspensos em suas vassouras durante a partida e cada time tem sete jogadores, um goleiro, dois batedores, três artilheiros e um apanhador.

Se você algum dia quis saber como surgiu o pomo de ouro ou por que o time dos Vagamundos de Wigtown (Wigtown Wanderers) tem a estampa de um cutelo de açougueiro no uniforme, você precisa ler Quadribol através dos séculos (Quidditch throught the ages). Esta edição limitada é uma cópia do exemplar guardado na Biblioteca Escolar de Hogwarts e consultado por jovens fãs do quadribol quase diariamente.
