NOT GINNY!!! she has been playing for the team for how long?... don't get me wrong, I love her, even with her "sudden" appearance in the fifth book... but I would most definitely cry Mary-sue if she ends up Quidditch captain, with only playing for half a season... and having other people who have played on the team longer and have much more leadership skills then she has been shown to have. It would be horribly written... almost on a fanfic level. Personally I think its down to... Harry, Ron, and, (if she is returning) Katie Bell... I don't see Ginny being in the running at all... just my two knuts.

Lindsay replies:

My money is on Katie Bell, since she will be a seventh year.  But she
will have been on the team as long as Harry, since in his first year
she would have been in her second, and was on the team at that time
(since we know Harry was the only first year in a hundred years to
make a House team).  So honestly, it *could* go to Harry, but I am
betting on Katie - because after all, Harry did miss half a year of
Quidditch.

And as for whether or not there will be Quidditch, I am of the opinion
there will be.  After all, Ludo Bagman was a Quidditch champ during
the first war, so they obviously didn't stop Quidditch then.
