??????. Since when Quidditch through ages belongs to restricted 
section?

Alla:

Written in Potions book is mistreating the book, reading outside is 
NOT mistreating the book. Please point me where in canon it says that 
the books NOT from restricted section are not allowed to be taken 
outside.

Alla:

Hint that such rule exists? Can you imagine Hermione saying " No, 
sir, please don't do it? Pretty please or something like that?"

I don't.

Alla:

Coddle - maybe not, but taking away their reading time outside? I 
highly doubt that.

IMO of course.
