From Puddlemere United to the Chudley Cannons, this wizarding library essential tells it all. If you have not learned enough on how to play the simple game of Quidditch, then this book is certainly for you, the Viktor Krum of tomorrow. Kennilworthy Whisp explains in detail the art of playing this popular wizarding sport, from its first game in Queerditch Marsh, to mishaps of more modern Quidditch matches. Not only does it talk of Quidditch, though it also talks of other broom games, such as Stichstock, Aingingein, Creaothceann, and Swivenhodge. It also talks of the Golden Snidget, an extremely endangered bird replaced by the Golden Snitch for humane reasons.
If you are wondering if this book is truly worth your time, then look at the Praise that it recieved from Rita Skeeter. She said:
"I've read worse."
She would never say anything that polite about a book if it isn't good. This book explains Quidditch much more in depth than the Muggle J.K. Rowling ever did, knowledge of Quidditch coming only from a leaked Quibbler article that Jo found. My overall scoop: If you are like me, and you like books that explain sports that involve brooms, then a ten out of ten. Though if you are too caught up in your Muggle heritage to care, then a negative one hundred thirty seven and a half out of ten. If that is the case, then please stop disgracing my work, and start reading about ponies, soccer, and other Muggle things of the sort.
