What is the title of J.K. Rowling’s 2012 short book about the wizarding sport of Quidditch?

The story behind the answer

J.K. Rowling’s 2012 short book about Quidditch is titled Quidditch Through the Ages.

The book was presented as a Hogwarts library volume written by Kennilworthy Whisp. In the real world, it was published as a charity companion book alongside Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, with proceeds supporting Comic Relief.

Quidditch Through the Ages describes the sport’s supposed history, rules, equipment, teams, and famous players. Its mock-reference style makes it different from Rowling’s narrative novels, even though it expands the fictional history of the wizarding world.

The title is often confused with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them because both companion books were associated with Hogwarts and were issued for the same charitable publishing project. They are separate works with different fictional authors and subjects.
