COMP CLOSED new illustrated edition of ‘Quidditch through the Ages’

A school holiday treat this week, with a giveaway of the upcoming Quidditch Through the Ages Illustrated Edition by J.K. Rowling, illustrated by Emily Gravett. An essential 160-page companion to the Harry Potter series, this spectacular new full-colour edition brings together one of the world’s best loved storytellers with the creative genius of Gravett. 

A sumptuous visual feast of a book, the pages are bursting with glorious illustrations, handmade memorabilia and two breathtaking gatefold spreads. This sporting almanac promises magic and wonder in equal measure for both newcomers to the Wizarding World and established Harry Potter fans. Each amazing page is waiting to be pored over and enjoyed!

Devoured by Harry Potter in his first year, Quidditch Through the Ages is consulted on a daily basis by the young witches and wizards at Hogwarts. Kennilworthy Whisp’s sporting bible whisks readers through a whistle-stop tour of the wizarding world’s favourite sport. Packed with trivia, tales of on-pitch antics, and Quidditch stars past and present, the sports almanac also contains comprehensive profiles of Quidditch teams loved by readers of the Harry Potter novels including Chudley Cannons, Puddlemere United, Vratsa Vultures and many more.

Twice winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal, Emily Gravett joins the celebrated team of hand-picked talent who have brought their illustration magic to the world of Harry Potter. Her wildly creative imagination has conjured a cornucopia of sporting memorabilia to surprise and delight. Lovingly created in a dazzling range of media – drawn, sewn, thrown and infused with her trademark visual wit – these charming and funny handmade artworks are the perfect pairing for J.K. Rowling’s humorous insights into the magical, airborne sport.

(Quidditch Through the Ages is published in aid of Lumos, an international children’s charity founded in 2005 by J.K. Rowling, and Comic Relief.)
