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，勾画了很多笔记！从魁地奇的诞生、发展到如今的魁地奇球；从不同球、不同队员的作用到不同球队及球队的历史、战绩；从防麻瓜、防犯规的措施到如今的魁地奇招式，都介绍得很清楚，设定的逻辑也说得通，很有意思，就差一把飞天扫帚就可以开始玩了😂 （美中不足：如果说中国巫师会御剑飞行就好了，而不是说亚洲基本都是坐飞毯，毕竟中国也占很大面积，不过可能罗琳写的时候确实没有想起来、或者没有了解到这个，但瑕不掩瑜！） 照例说一说翻译，这本书翻译没什么大问题（不过我看得也没有《哈利波特》系列那么咬文嚼字）😂类似一语双关这种文学手法也确实比较难翻译出来，比如“I'm just batty about Butterbeer! ”就是玩了个文字游戏，bat是蝙蝠，文中这句话又是蝙蝠说的，用batty（slightly crazy）就比crazy有意思，而且“batty about Butterbeer! ”又有点押头韵的感觉。译文是“我只是疯上了黄油啤酒！”就比原文差点意思，所以有时间精力的话，还是推荐读原版。
