The entire sentence (in my U.S. Scholastic version) reads:

"As we have developed the game of Quidditch, so it has developed us;
Quidditch unites witches and wizards from all walks of life, bringing
us together to share moments of exhilaration, triumph, and (for those
who support the Chudley Cannons) despair."

It's "a skilled metal-charmer."
