Quiddich Story Lines

[Cindy C.]

No: HPFGUIDX 28322

Like many on the list, I am expecting Quiddich to appear in OoP.  I 
was wondering what plot lines might make sense, particularly in light 
of the Quiddich story lines we've already seen.

In PS/SS, we see Harry catch the snitch in his mouth, and then later, 
catch it in his hand.  He also almost gets thrown off of his broom.  
In CoS, he is injured by the rogue bludger.  In PoA, he falls off his 
broom, Wood expresses doubt about whether Harry can continue as 
seeker, and Harry learns to fight dementors.  Then, he rides his 
Firebolt against Cho and beats her.  Then he rides against Malfoy and 
beats him.  In GoF, the QWC.

So what's left to do?  So far, Harry has won every time except when 
he fell off his broom in PoA.  I wonder if it would work for Harry to 
start getting a taste of defeat, perhaps by losing a match or two 
against a new seeker character(s).  (I don't know if this is even 
credible if Harry is riding a Firebolt).  The new Gryffindor captain 
(Katie, Alicia?) could start to question whether Harry is too 
distracted to get the job done, and there could be tryouts.  Ron 
would be conflicted about whether to challenge Harry for his seeker 
spot.  Yada yada yada.

Any thoughts about how Quiddich could stay fresh in the next book?
