I was a little worried, because in theory it is like a fictional encyclopedia. I thought it might be weird to try to "learn" history, of a history that never existed and might feel like a pointless lecture where I learn unnecessary "facts". But luckily, I was pleasantly surprised that this book was as magical, fun, and just as unexpected as the rest of J.K. Rowling's books. There is a foreword "by" Albus Dumbledore and it is charming and fun. Reading this short book over about an hour and a half left a smile on my face. It actually made me appreciate the quidditch scenes more from the movies and understand the game better. It made me want to watch the movies all over again. If you want a light read, maybe for the bus/train or to read before you go to bed to put you in a good mood, this is the book for you. May I also say, the proceeds of this book go to charity, and a wonderful one, which is a reason itself to buy this book

One of the most in-depth fictional history books I've ever read. Absolutely loved it. Covers everything from how and where quidditch started, the broom games that contributed to the creation of quidditch, the history of all the balls, positions, prominent world teams, and why quidditch isn't as popular in the states similarly to soccer. Wonderful read. Highly recommend if you're a Harry Potter fan. Total nerdgasm.

I loved it! It came in excellent condition with no complications obtaining it. I loved how it was written with notes and everything! It is a book only on the guidelines of Quidditch. It was perfect in the sense that I was needing this book for a paper that discussed the rules and guidelines of quidditch!

This is not a novel, but rather a history and/or rule book of Quidditch from the Harry Potter series. As a unique gift my wife found interesting, but it is not a book with a story-line.

I love this cover collection and own all three, they are beautifully done. The content is good, it's fun for genuine Harry Potter fans, but if you aren't a super nerd you probably won't appreciate it or care for it.

This is a novelty book to keep with the Harry Potter series on your bookshelf. It is referenced in the series and makes a nice addition to the collection. My kids have commented how cool the presentation of this book is, from cover to pages.

Ideal para los fans de Harry Potter
Reviewed in Spain on May 4, 2018Verified Purchase
Personalmente, no me gustan los deportes en equipo y tampoco soy una gran fan del quidditch, pero me ha parecido un libro muy interesante para saber más cosas sobre el mundo de Harry Potter (su historia, anécdotas,...). Físicamente el libro no es muy grande pero es muy bonito, tiene una encuadernación muy chula y muchos detalles. Además, comprándolo contribuyes con Comic Relief y Lumos. Si eres fan del mundo de Harry Potter tienes que tenerlo. Lo recomiendo totalmente.

Reviewed in Italy on August 31, 2019Verified Purchase
Non mi posso lamentare eccessivamente del prodotto, l'unica pecca è quell'effetto ondulato che c'è sulla copertina del retro che lo rende un po' sciatto. Per i soldi spesi, tutto sommato è stato un buon acquisto.
