About this listen

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.

The audiobook edition includes more than an hour and a half of bonus content. This includes the history of the Quidditch World Cup Final and commentary on the 2014 World Cup Final from the perspective of Rita Skeeter (Annette Badland) and Ginny Potter (Imogen Church). This additional content was written by J.K. Rowling and is also available to read on wizarding world.com.

The shelves of the Hogwarts Library are also home to many more fascinating books. If you have enjoyed Quidditch Through the Ages you might want to check out some of its other treasures: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The Tales of Beedle the Bard.

Really Fun.

I loved the story of how the wizarding world gained their favourite pastime. I especially loved the reporting of the 2014 Quiddich World Cup by Ginny Potter.

Quidditch Through The Ages

As an intense Harry Potter fan I purchased this book not really knowing what to expect. It was informative and entertaining however not enough of a story for me and not something I would listen to more than once.

Brilliant

I am a very hardcore Harry Potter fan so I purchased this book not knowing what to expect. I found it brilliant. I loved the sound effects in the background. I would recommend this to anyone who loves Harry Potter

A lot of fun

The textbook part is interesting, but I wouldn't consider it essential listening for HP fans.

The tournament play by play with Ginny is fantastic

Why ruin this with sound effects.

The story is great and overall it’s great. Except for the ever annoying sound effects which are loud and some times annoying.
I myself listen to books with headphones and the fact that the piecing sounds kept making me flint h is just not a good look.
The final chapter “live” commentary was unbearable.

Informative and Hilarious

This was so funny, especially the commentary at the end. Who doesn't love Rita Skeeter!

Loved that my home town apparently has a quiddich team. Nostalgic for the original Potter books
