Hannah:  I don't think the ban will be enforced. Quidditch is one of 
things a lot of readers - particularly younger readers - really like 
about the books.  If JKR cuts it out then she's denying some readers 
one of their favourite things about the stories.  And really, for it 
to have the same impact, it needs Harry to be playing.  In OotP she 
couldn't even be bothered to describe the final match from Harry's 
spectator POV.

Quidditch is also a great plot device for the rivalry between 
various houses, for camaraderie between Gryffindors, and for Harry 
to be attacked/ injured.  So I think Quidditch will definitely be 
on, and Harry will definitely be playing.

Ginny, I think, will become Chaser (she said she would prefer that 
to Seeker).  Harry will return as Seeker (he has a gift for it), and 
I don't see why Ron can't remain as a Keeper.  Ron performed very 
well in his final match, when he no longer felt pressured by the 
presence of the twins.  

I don't think that's too many main characters on the team.  Besides, 
people 'want' them there because that is what is strongly suggested 
by canon. Members of the Quidditch teams from all houses tend to 
become main/ important characters anyway.  JKR had no problem with 
having three main characters (Harry, Fred and George) on the team in 
the first books.  

Just my opinion
