They only old players who will be left on the team will be Harry and whoever the new Keeper is (as long as s/he is not in the same year as FGAAK).<


For year 5, I suspect (no...I hope) that Ron will become the new Keeper
and take Wood's place. My feeling is that Angelina will become the new
captain. When year 6 comes around, they'll just have regular old
try-outs like they do every year and fill up the team. I suspect this is
where Harry will become Captain, since he'll have the more experience
over the new Keeper. I figure the team might be ok, but that's just a
guess.

I'm hope that JKR give Ron a little bit of glory in the next book, and
make him the new keeper. We only heard about him playing Quidditch with
is brothers in the first book, so we have no gauge to how good he really
is. But some of his other brothers were great players, and I'd like to
see another Weasley on the team in book 5.
