Pretttty legit. The part about Madame Pince, kinda weird, but whatevs. We get a pretty extensive look at Quidditch's origins, as well as the origins of the broomstick. It goes back to the middle ages when brooms and broom sports were first invented.
The book, similarly to FBAWTFT takes a very british-centric take on the whole matter. They make places like Africa and Asia to seem quite "behind the times" when it comes to magic in an almost primitive way. That really made me quite angry as I wasn't really expecting to have to critique the story as I read it.
I would say FBAWTFT is a better book on the whole, as to me it seems more magical, if that's possible seeing as this is all magical stuff anyway. Despite its length to me it seemed a touch too long, or maybe it was just poorly laid out. not sure.
Overall, good read, if you want some quick and light Harry Potter lovin' happening in your life.
