Description
Since its publication, Quidditch Through the Ages has been one of the most popular books in the Hogwarts library. Read by Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and many more, it is the essential guide to the wizarding world's favourite game.
Charting its journey from Queerditch Marsh in the eleventh century to the sophisticated sport of today, Quidditch Through the Ages will show you the moments of exhilarating triumph and crushing despair (such as supporting the Chudley Cannons) that are part of the game of Quidditch.
Learn all about the history and rules of the game, from some of the 700 fouls (and which World Cup Final saw all of them committed) to the difference between a Transylvanian Tackle and a Woollongong Shimmy.
Narrated by People's Choice Awards Winner and BAFTA nominated Andrew Lincoln, best known for his role on The Walking Dead, the audiobook edition also includes more than an hour and a half of bonus content.
The audiobook edition includes more than an hour and a half of bonus content. This includes the history of the Quidditch World Cup Final and commentary on the 2014 World Cup Final from the perspective of Rita Skeeter (Annette Badland) and Ginny Potter (Imogen Church). This additional content was written by J.K. Rowling and is also available to read on wizarding world.com.
The shelves of the Hogwarts Library are also home to many more fascinating books. If you have enjoyed Quidditch Through the Ages you might want to check out some of its other treasures: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The Tales of Beedle the Bard.

A fantastic production!
Andrew Lincoln’s reading of this book was an absolute joy to listen to, but it was the beautifully dramatized 2014 Quidditch World Cup coverage that I enjoyed the most. As a long time member of Pottermore relished reading those Daily Prophet articles as they were posted back in 2014. To have this small chapter of the Harry Potter story finally produced in an audio format is something I thought I’d never see. Now if we could just get an audio adaptation of The Cursed Child.

Well worth a listen and entertaining to the last
Andrew Lincoln (aka Rick Grimes) does a fantastic and hilarious job of the individual voices of the "historical" characters as well as a smooth narrative throughout the book. When the history of the game, it's rules, and conception are finished, we get a hilarious Ginny Weasley and Rita Skeeter coverage of a world cup match. Special bonus for those of us Doctor Who fans when realization hit that Rita Skeeter is voiced by the lady Slitheen from the Christopher Eccleston season, Annette Badland. Overall, the narratives, the well timed sound effects, and the quirky story telling we've come to know and love make this an excellent, if short trip into the Wizarding World.

Very entertaining
I found the entire book extremely entertaining. It was very well narrated and is a nice addition to the Harry Potter books in story. When I found the most entertaining out of all of it was the 2014 Quidditch World Cup narrated by Ginny potter and Rita Skeeter. That part just made my day

Vocal Fry and Sound Effects, Oh My
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
The use of sound effects really takes away from the experience rather than enhance it. This was true with the Fantastic Beasts audio book as well. They were loud and annoying, at times even drowning out the narrator. Also, the narrator’s use of vocal fry left much to be desired. It’s unfortunate that such small details can have such a huge impact, as I could not recommend this audiobook to others and would offer a warning to those considering it. I would love to see this and the Fantastic Beasts audiobooks remixed without the sound effects, or at a minimum, with the sound effects much softer. I suppose the vocal fry would have been less annoying and perhaps not as grating without the loud, distracting, unnecessary added sound effects.

Holy sound effects!
The sound effects throughout Lincoln's narration were so overwhelming and overshadowed everything he said. I love this book, but I couldn't even hear half of it. I've never given any of the Harry Potter books less than 5 stars on any format before, but this version needs help. The audio is not good. The addition of the quidditch world cup coverage was so fun though, and the sound effects work well there, considering it's meant to be live coverage of the game.

Referees Had Been Known to Vanish
“Although people rarely died playing Quidditch, referees had been known to vanish and turn up months later in the Sahara Desert.”
Story: Quidditch Through the Ages is an entertaining history of the sport. You will cover the development of the sport, the introduction to rules, broom evolution and an overview of some of the Quidditch teams. Last, and certainly not least, is the thrilling reporting from the 2014 Quidditch World Cup!
Narration: The story is good, but the narration and production is what really makes this audiobook special. All of the narrators do a wonderful job at capturing their characters (or multiple characters) and the sound effects really add to the listening experience. At times, I legitimately jumped as I thought a bludger was coming my way!
Overall: Quidditch Through the Ages is a fun little book. I do wish that it was longer, but it does a good job at quenching the thirst for more Harry Potter information and history. The narration is fantastic and the production really comes to life! Some say the audio from the sound effects was loud at times, which is true, but for me that added to my experience. Is the sport as deafening as it came across in the narration? I could imagine so when you are flying around on nothing but a broom, while fans are screaming constantly and you are also trying not to take a hit. Seriously, I still fear a bludger from time-to-time throughout my day!

my thoughts on quidditch Through the Ages
I loved the recounting of the 2014 quidditch World Cup at the end. I also like that they were supporting lumos and comic relief with this book, and I like what they're doing in these charities,. Furthermore I liked the book as a whole even the Quidditch information at the beginning, which of course every Harry Potter fan would buy just for the information at the beginning about Quidditch. so I'm glad I bought this book.

Your GOING to lose your hearing!
While the storyline is alright for the first 7 chapters, bu the end of chapter 7 and most definitely the beginning of chapter 8, he sound effects will leave a ringing in your ears if you’re using a headset.
The narrator is talking along and you’re concentrating on listening and al of a sudden LOUD OBNOXIOUS noises start popping up as part of the story line.
I stopped listening as my ears couldn’t take it any more...

Superb!
Loved it. Finished in a day. Haven't picked up a Harry Potter book in years and this reminded me how much a genius and warm spirit Rowling is.

nach wenigen Minuten abgeschaltet
Ich hab es leider nicht weit ins Buch geschafft, da ich nach wenigen Minuten aufhören musste, da das Hörbuch voller extrem nerviger Soundeffekte ist. Ich verstehe absolut nicht wie jemand auf die Idee gekommen ist, dass das das Hörbuch auf irgendeine Art und Weise besser macht.. Der Sprecher selbst gefällt mir auch eher weniger, aber darüber hätte ich vermutlich noch hinwegsehen können.. ich werde mir demnächst wohl die Printausgabeholen umdoch noch zu erfahren was in dem Buch geschrieben steht..

Ein Muss für Fans von Harry Potter!
ichvhabe lange gezögert, bis ich mir "Quidditch through the ages" zugelegt habe, aber ich habe es nicht bereut. Sehr interessant und humorvoll geschrieben. Und das Bonusmaterial über die Quidditch Weltmeisterschaft 2014 ist ein absoluter Leckerbissen. Hier erfährt man auch, was aus den Hauptcharakteren geworden ist.

Great book, great reader
The only thing I don't like is Rita Skeeter the reporter known especially because of the fourth part of harry potter and the role she played in it. She really just isn't a likeable person. But in a way she gives something to the story it needs for being realistic.

Magic for Muggles
Finally Muggles can also enjoy magical literature from the Hogwarts libary. And also live commentary from the magical sport quidditch. Great fun to listen to!

Only if you want your ears bleeding
Whoever thought it is a good idea to have screeching, ear-splitting sounds far louder than the reading itself "enhancing" the experience should be subject to this "enhancement" every minute of their remaining life. Even, if it goes against ban on torture.

Sehr unterhaltsam
Großer Spaß für Pottermaniacs und Quidditch-Fans, besonders nett fand ich das Finale, das zweigeteilt gelesen wird. No spoiler here!

Einfach superklasse
Sprecher top, Geschichte top, Bonuskontent, insb. der Livekommentar zum Finale 27. Quidditch Worldcup, einfach unschlagbar, sehr empfehlenswert.
Habe dieses Bonusfeature selbst vor längerer Zeit mal auf Pottermore gelesen und es jetzt in einer Form zu hören, als wäre man quasi live dabei ist echt unbeschreiblich!
