- "Harry had deliberately left the trial of the Keepers until last, hoping for an emptier stadium and less pressure on all concerned. Unfortunately, however, all the rejected players and a number of people who had come down to watch after a lengthy breakfast had joined the crowd by now, so that it was larger than ever."

In September 1996, a number of unidentified spectators attended the Quidditch trials for the position of Keeper for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, under the captaincy of Harry Potter.[1]
The various supporters each had a favourite as for whom they wished to see win the position, with most supporting either Ronald Weasley or Cormac McLaggen.[2]
Details[]
- "Come on, Weasley! ... Yeah, Ron! ... Go on, Cormac!"
- — The spectators[src]
Most of the vocal supporters seemed to favour Ronald Weasley, though there was at least one holdout for Cormac McLaggen.[2] Ultimately, Ronald Weasley claimed the position, though not without a "helping hand" from Hermione Granger.[1]
