Do you really think so?  I hadn't thought of that.  What a drag, I 
like Quidditch.  JKR likes it too, maybe she'll find a way to keep it 
going.  I hope for at least one more year.  And, speaking of Oliver 
being gone, won't Angelina be gone too?  She was able to enter her 
name in the goblet; the selection was on Halloween, she said her 
birthday was a week before.  If she's still a sixth year, late 
October is pretty early in the school year to have her seventeenth 
birthday.  Or is that how it works--since you have to be eleven to 
enter HW, you have to be whatever age going into whatever school 
year? What I mean is, she was sixteen when the school year started, 
so she ~is~ a sixth year?
