Some thoughts about Ron & Quidditch:

I have the feeling that Ron will soon become *captain* of the Quidditch
team, perhaps as keeper. The one area where Ron really shines is in
chess--and that means planning, insight, thinking ahead, laying out a
strategy. I'm hoping he'll put those gifts to use in marshalling the
strength of a Wood-less Griffindor Quidditch team to new heights. (And
pages of sqiggling diagrams not even Wood could have understood ... )

I'd like to see him join the team as a second-string player, then
surprise everybody by pointing out a brilliant strategy no one else had
ever considered. It'd give Ron a life of his own! (The only question is
whether Ron *supposed* to have a life of his own--or whether the plot
will at some point turn precisely on his being a side kick?)

Any takers?
