A fun, fast read that gives you a taste for Quidditch. I couldn't shake the feeling, however, that this book was created more with speed than precision. I thought that most of the chapters were ripe for expansions and that you could dive much more fully into the world Rowling has built throughout the Harry Potter series. I think she could take a cue from Marie Brennan's Lady Trent dragon memoirs.

This was great :) I'm not good with reading "history-textbook" books but this I could handle because it's all about Quidditch!! I love the Harry Potter world and when I watch the next Quidditch match I'll be able to use a bunch of fancy terms such as: blagging, blatching, blurting, bumphing, cobbing, flocking, haversacking, quafflepocking, snitchnip, stooging, ect.

I recommend this book to any Potter Head out there :D

This is a fun audiobook. I love Harry Potter and Andrew Lincoln, so this was great. I enjoyed hearing about all the teams throughout Quidditch history, and Victor Krum's journey. I really enjoyed listening to "Ginny Potter" as the commentator for the finals. All of the narrators are great in this one.

ignoring JKR’s atrocious politics, this is such a fun and entertaining read. if you read HP and were always curious to explore the in-world textbooks and lit, this is a great one!! the lore and detail is impressive and has that classic HP humor too. v fun!!
