Has this ban been canceled already??? I can't remember reading about
it anywhere. All I can recall is Ron (?) hoping the ban would be null
and void after Umbridge left.

to stop him from ever playing again, anywhere in the world.  Thus, if
he were drafted to a pro team, I think he could play.

Carol responds:
In any case, Umbridge no longer has any authority at Hogwarts and DD
will almost certainly reverse the ban. After all, MacGonagall bent or
broke the rules to allow Harry to play Quidditch as a first-year. I
can't see her or Dumbledore allowing one of Umbridge's decrees to
prevent him from playing in his sixth or seventh year any more than I
can see DD banning the existence of all clubs or any of the teachers
honoring the decree to talk about nothing but their own subjects
inside the classroom.
