Story
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Story
Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek God. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That's when things started really going wrong. Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends, and generally trying to stay alive. This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea.

must read for all potter fans
excellent story. it reminds all about of potterverse. i am a middle aged man who longs for anything about harry potter. why mrs. rowling is depriving us i do not know. we want more & more potter stories. she certainly can do that. this book brought some beautiful old potter memories. please ma'am please start writing again. i don't like crime of grindelwald movie series. we need more Dumbledore and more potter. we need those years between hogwarts battle and 2014 quidditch world cup.
audiobook was good. but background sound overwhelmed narrator many times and made difficult to comprehend for people like me whose mother tongue is not English. though i enjoyed a lot. hope audible can correct it by editing the old recordings.

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

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.

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.

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.

Amazing! Wonderful! Absolutely incredible!
I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this. Andrew did a fantastic job, all the voices were spot on! And the world cup was unbelievable. Really enjoyable to listen to, and it really felt like I was there at the final! I very much enjoyed the Rita elements, which gave us little indications into Harry and families life post the battle of Hogwarts. Last year being the year he sends his youngest off to Hogwarts, I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting to know more about his life since, and the lives of everyone else. So I very much appreciated these hints and nods from Rita.

An interesting concept
Let's face it, I don't need any convincing jump back in the world HP. This book itself had been mentioned, many times throughout the actual Harry Potter series. So it was nice to finally get to read it for myself. I wouldn't necessarily purchase it myself (redeemed it as part of a gift) but it was nice to jump back into this beautiful world again.

The only issue I had with this amazing performance is that the sound effects at times are too loud. I was listening whilst driving at night and the sudden very loud sound of a broom whooshing past made me jump so much I jolted the wheel. But it’s damn awesome!

Double, triple, quadruple the length please!
This was fantastic, and Andrew Lincoln needs to do a lot more recordings. Had me snorting with laughter at his voices and engaged from stat to finish. Love.

Lincoln and Quidditch - a marriage made in heaven!
Lincoln narrated flawlessly, and the bonus content was amazing! 5 stars all round! Also, it was great to hear that that the Potter legacy lives on in Quidditch Through the Ages.

Enjoyable listen but not perfect
A very good adaption of the book with a well read performance by Andrew Lincoln with the highlight of this production being the bonus World Cup content (especially Rita's "commentary" of the final.)
My only criticism of this being that having no way of showing us the fantastic illustrations that where present in the books I feel it looses a little bit of its charm.

Irritating narration
Don’t know if I’ll even get through the intro the fake croaky ‘dumbledore voice’ is so annoying

Really Fun.
I loved the story of how the wizarding world gained their favourite pastime. I especially loved the reporting of the 2014 Quiddich World Cup by Ginny Potter.

Informative and Hilarious
This was so funny, especially the commentary at the end. Who doesn't love Rita Skeeter!
Loved that my home town apparently has a quiddich team. Nostalgic for the original Potter books

Quidditch Through The Ages
As an intense Harry Potter fan I purchased this book not really knowing what to expect. It was informative and entertaining however not enough of a story for me and not something I would listen to more than once.

Stupid narration, great story.
I absolutely loved Ginny & Rita, but the main narrator was seriously annoying! Oh well, the story itself was great!

Why ruin this with sound effects.
The story is great and overall it’s great. Except for the ever annoying sound effects which are loud and some times annoying.
I myself listen to books with headphones and the fact that the piecing sounds kept making me flint h is just not a good look.
The final chapter “live” commentary was unbearable.

Spend your credit / 15 dollars elsewhere
Very disappointed with voice acting - especially the first part where the narrator tries dumbledore voice. The content is disappointing as well, even with additional content from pottermore.
