Quidditch Through the Ages

Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp (AKA J.K. Rowling), 56 pages

Created as a book to benefit the British charity Comic Relief (not related to the U.S. charity of the same name), Quidditch Through the Ages is the "reproduction" of a book housed in the library at Hogwarts, the wizarding school of the Harry Potter books. In that series, Harry enjoys reading the book, though its contents are only vaguely mentioned. This book fills in the gaps, letting the voracious Harry Potter readers see what their favorite boy wizard is reading. And it's a lot of fun. Rowling created a history of the broomstick-played game, filled with plenty of the humor that permeates the lighter moments of the larger series. Quick and funny, this is well worth reading for serious Harry Potter fans.
