Me:

NO.  Only Wood is gone.  He left school at the end of Book 3.  Fred, George,
Katie, Angelina, and Alicia are all class of 96 which means that they are
seventh years in Book 5. See the list at the HP Lexicon at
http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/hogwarts_students.html.

Even so, in Book 6, there will be a lot of people to replace - only Harry and
whoever the new Keeper is (hopefully Ron) will be returning.  That means they
will have a very young and inexperienced team.  I hope that Ron makes it onto
the team in this book, since he loves Quidditch so much.  Surely having so many
brothers playing Quidditch would be an advantage?  As far as captaincy goes, as
much as I'd love to see Harry being captain, I don't think he'd want it,
somehow.  It would be nice to see the twins be co-captains.  Maybe Ron could
take over as captain the next year, if he does make Seeker in this book.
