Andrew Kirke was a Beater on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, along with Jack Sloper, in 1995. He takes over for Fred and George Weasley when they are given a life-long ban by Dolores Umbridge. Angelina Johnson, who selected the new Beaters, was unimpressed by Andrew Kirke and Jack Sloper's performance during tryouts—but they were better than the others that had volunteered, so the position went to them. Ron later mentioned that the Gryffindor team was appalling, and that the two Beaters were dreadful, even worse than Ron himself. During Gryffindor's quick defeat to Hufflepuff, Kirke had a pitiful performance; when Zacharias Smith flew in his direction carrying the Quaffle, Kirke shrieked and fell off his broomstick. Ginny caught the Snitch twenty-two minutes into the match, causing Gryffindor to lose by only ten points.
Behind the scenes
Andrew Kirke's name is possibly derived from The Chronicles of Narnia book The Magician's Nephew, which features a main character named Diggory Kirke with a maternal uncle named Andrew with an unmentioned surname.
