"There can be no doubt that Quidditch has changed beyond all recognition since Gertie Keddle first watched 'those numbskulls' on Queerditch Marsh."
Nice little introduction to the wizarding sport of Quidditch. It is one of the textbooks found in the library of Hogwarts in the series itself so it is written as such, teaching some history of the sport itself including the origins of the snitch and other interesting facts.

An amazing addition to the Harry Potter books that makes for just that extra bit of immersion.
Review comes from my reread/first audiobook listen from July 2019 (though I have read this several times since publication). Write-Up taken from The Pewter Wolf
Quidditch Through the Ages looks through the history of Quidditch, the UK and Ireland teams, positions and balls. Plus, the audiobook has over an hour extra content of looking into the history of the Qudditch World Cup and newspaper reports of the Quidditch World Cup 2014 and transcript of the Quidditch World Cup Final 2014 from Ginny Potter and Rita Skeeter.
Which, at the time of requesting the audiobook from my library audiobook app, I didn’t know the extra content was there. I saw it and went “Why Not!”
So… er…
Ok, I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter series. You guys know this about me. And while I do have issues over the latest Fantastic Beasts movies (don’t get me start on my issues over Crimes of Grindelwald! Maybe I will wrote a blog post over this one day… but it would be a rant and a half so will need a good few days to write it!), I have a soft spot in my heart for the original books and the textbooks that came out.
I feel I have to state that as… well… for some reason, I didn’t warm to this audiobook.
I think I know why, but let’s talk the positives. The extra content.
The extra content is easily accessible on Pottermore after a quick search but hearing this extra content being read by Imogen Church (as Ginny Potter) and Annette Badland (as Rita Skeeter) was delicious! Though, I forgot how much as a ****stirrer Rita was. The extra content was wonderful!
However… the rest of the audiobook… well… ok, there’s nothing wrong with it. I have read it before so I know what I was getting into. But… ok, don’t hate me. I didn’t like Andrew Lincoln reading this.
Have you guys ever listened to an audiobook and you got “Oh, you do not fit reading this!”? Well, that’s what I had with Andrew Lincoln. There’s nothing wrong with him - I have seen him in movies and TV Shows (not Walking Dead as I hate zombies and can’t do horror!), so I know he’s a good actor. But, for some reason, I found him and some of the sound effects kinda jarring. And I don’t know why!
Plus, I can’t understand why a three hour and a ten minute audiobook should cost £12 on Pottermore and Audible. Yes, money from this purchase goes to charities, but I have bought cheaper audiobook which have been longer and still donate profits to charity. I fear the word “cashcow” might be used here (though JK Rowling has said she is getting no royalties from this as the royalties are going to Comic Relief and Lumos).
So, while I did enjoy the extra content but I’m not sure on this audiobook.
