OMG! I loved this book and it is very short. it took me about a day and a half to finish. It was a very interesting book with a lot of facts and I loved how it explained everything to know about quidditch. If you watched or read Harry Potter and don't understand quidditch this is the book for you. When I got to chapter ten I was so surprised because I finally know knew the formations that they used in the movies. Definitely a good literary fiction book! (

Funny and entertaining, with some interesting facts; how the broomstick evolved from a knotty uncomfortable slow-moving contraption into a sleek racing machine; the origin of the golden snitch; why Quidditch is not popular in Asia - see if you can figure out why, or better yet, read the book! (

Leuk boekje voor tussendoor. Lekker ronddwalen in een stukje Potter wereld. (

Audiobooks's 2011:

I actually really enjoyed listening to this one. There are so many well crafted details and back story pieces. I love the historical documentary list to the whole thing. The way it was old, and then all the way up into modern.

I spent a lot of it smiling and loving the information. (
