About this title

Review:

JK Rowling takes her enviable ability to turn paper into gold to the next level by cleverly teaming up with Comic Relief 2001 to bring Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (a set text during Harry's first year at Hogwarts) and Quidditch Through the Ages (Harry's favourite book), to the masses--and all the money goes to charity. --Susan Harrison

Review:

Anyone who plays or watches Quidditch regularly will relish Mr Whisp's book (Albus Dumbledore)

A veritable treasure trove of hitherto unknown facts about the sport of warlocks (Bathilda Bagshot, author of A HISTORY OF MAGIC)

A thoroughly enjoyable book; Quidditch fans are sure to find it both instructive and entertaining (Which Broomstick?)
