| Fans of Harry Potter will love the chance to really get inside the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now, straight from the Hogwarts School Library, come two textbooks used by Harry and all his fellow wizards-in-training. Written by J. K. Rowling under two delightful pseudonyms, Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them are so magical that all proceeds from the sale of these books will go to The Harry's Books Fund established by Comic Relief U.K. to help needy children in the poorest countries of the world! From Our Editors at Barnes and Noble Did you know that in 1938 the wizard Zacharias Mumps set down the first full description of the game of Quidditch? Written by a renowned Quidditch expert (and "the author of many Quidditch-related works"), Quidditch Through the Ages reveals everything readers need to know about the most important sport in the wizarding world. From the evolution of the flying broomstick and the rules for playing Quidditch to the changes in the sport since the 14th century (up until today) and details about all the Quidditch teams of Britain and Ireland, this book is a must-have for Quidditch fans old and new. Well researched and filled with diagrams, definitions, and more, Quidditch Through the Ages is what every wizard-in-training needs to be a pro. Synopsis Quidditch Through the Ages is a comprehensive guide to Quidditch and the ultimate resource for anyone interested in the magical world and its most popular sport. Written by "Kenilworthy Whisp," Quidditch Through the Ages--charmingly reproduced as if it were a facsimile of the copy from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry--starts with the history of broomsticks, describes the evolution of Quidditch through the generations, and includes the rules of the game as well as a chapter on modern-day play. Quidditch - the most important sport in the wizarding world - plays a vital role in Harry Potter's Hogwarts education. His natural skill as a Seeker - responsible for spotting and catching the Golden Snitch - not only helps Gryffindor House defeat Slytherin, but comes in handy during Harry's ultimate wizarding test. From the Publisher Quidditch Through the Ages A comprehensive work, Quidditch Through the Ages starts from the history of broomsticks, describes the evolution of Quidditch through the generations, and includes the rules of the game as well as a chapter on modern-day play. It is the ultimate resource for anyone interested in the magical world and its most popular sport, and it is charmingly reproduced as it were a facsimile of the very copy from the library of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. 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 limited edition is a copy of the volume in Hogwarts School Library, where it is consulted by young Quidditch fans on an almost daily basis. |
