Quidditch Through the Ages is a fantasy companion book from the world of Harry Potter, presented as a Hogwarts Library volume and written under the fictional name Kennilworthy Whisp. The book explores the history of Quidditch, from the origins of the Golden Snitch and the development of the Bludgers to famous teams, unusual traditions and curious details from the wizarding world’s most popular sport. Written in a light, mock-scholarly style, it expands the magical universe beyond the main Harry Potter novels and gives readers a playful look at the culture, rivalries and legends surrounding the game.
