Our view
“Quidditch Through the Ages” is a slim mock sports history, best enjoyed by readers who already know the wizarding world by heart. It poses as a Hogwarts library book by an invented author and keeps a straight face throughout: rules, origins and lore, with no story to follow. At under a hundred pages it fills an evening pleasantly for fans; newcomers will find little to hold on to.
