>From the English version -

"As we have developed the game of Quidditch, so it has developed us; 
Quidditch unites witches and wizards from all walks of life....."
(QTTA p. vii UK edition)

>   In english, it would be approximatively "Quidditch improved us as 
> much as we improved Quidditch". What is the right quote?
> 2)	In the French version, Bowman Right is "un habile 
> ensorceleur de métaux", something like "a skilful/clever metal 
> charmer". What's the exact expression?

Canon again:

"The invention of the Golden Snitch is credited to the wizard Bowman 
Wright of Godric's Hollow (that name rings a bell....). While 
Quidditch teams all over the country tried to find bird substitutes  
for the Snidget, Wright, who was a skilled metal-charmer, set himself 
the task of creating a ball that mimicked the behaviour and flight 
patterns  of the Snidget."
