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.
“Long may the game continue to evolve and long may future generations of witches and wizards enjoy this most glorious of sports!” 好有趣啊，勾畫了很多筆記！從魁地奇的誕生、發展到如今的魁地奇球；從不同球、不同隊員的作用到不同球隊及球隊的歷史、戰績；從防麻瓜、防犯規的措施到如今的魁地奇招式，都介紹得很清楚，設定的邏輯也說得通，很有意思，就差一把飛天掃帚就可以開始玩了😂 （美中不足：如果說中國巫師會御劍飛行就好了，而不是說亞洲基本都是坐飛毯，畢竟中國也佔很大面積，不過可能羅琳寫的時候確實沒有想起來、或者沒有了解到這個，但瑕不掩瑜！） 照例說一說翻譯，這本書翻譯沒什麼大問題（不過我看得也沒有《哈利波特》系列那麼咬文嚼字）😂類似一語雙關這種文學手法也確實比較難翻譯出來，比如“I'm just batty about Butterbeer! ”就是玩了個文字遊戲，bat是蝙蝠，文中這句話又是蝙蝠說的，用batty（slightly crazy）就比crazy有意思，而且“batty about Butterbeer! ”又有點押頭韻的感覺。譯文是“我只是瘋上了黃油啤酒！”就比原文差點意思，所以有時間精力的話，還是推薦讀原版。
