Did you know that : there are 700 ways of committing a foul in Quidditch? The game first began to evolve on Queerditch Marsh? What Bumphing is? That Puddlemere United is oldest team in the Britain and Ireland league? (founded 1163) All this information and much more could be yours once you have read this book: this is all you could ever need to know about the history, the rules - and the breaking of the rules - of the noble wizarding sport of Quidditch.
Enjoying this more than Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was a big surprise for me because I've never been a sports enthusiast. Perhaps, my entertainment can be largely blamed to the fact that the historical accounts by the first witnesses of the game were funny. It made some of the sport jargon easy to understand and relatable.
I just wished that there were more illustrations particularly about the different pro-Quidditch teams. Wish the new edition will have that.
Recommended to Harry Potter fans and Quidditch enthusiasts.
PS: Is there a possibility for the Queen to write a script for a film adaptation of this book?
