Since many of Arthur's children were excellent Quidditch players it's got me wondering what position he played during his time at Hogwarts?
I'm thinking that he was a beater like the Twins or maybe a keeper like Ron. I imagine what he lack in skill he more then made up with enthusiasm. This post has been edited by cooncatbob: Jun 28 2008, 03:25 PM -------------------- Work like you don't need the money

What makes you think that Molly wasn't the Quidditch player? Though perhaps they both were.

I can see Arthur being a quidditch player, a beater or keeper, not captain or anything, but just a guy to make the players feel better after a loss. And as you said, alot of enthusiasm. I don't think he was the best guy on the team, I think he was just in it because he wanted to have some fun, and he was a big quidditch fan!
I can see Molly being the announcer, that would be perfect for her. I can't see her playing quidditch!  But I could be wrong, I could maybe see her as a chaser!

I'm not sure about Arthur. I don't really see him as a Quidditch player, but he must be interested in Quidditch to take them all to the World Cup. I think I'd go for seeker, not sure why, or keeper, because he seems to be a careful, thoughtful person, which I think would be important.
I could see Molly as a beater, as she has a lot of energy, and is determined, for example in the duel in DH. If she wanted to be a beater, she would be, and would be a good one. But as cooncatbob says, she didn't go to the World Cup, and I would have thought that if she has any interest in Quidditch then she would have gone too. -------------------- "Oh no, not again" -Bowl of Petunias The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy  |

I never thought about Arthur possibly beeing a quiddich player, I think he'd be a entusiastic spectator, but not player... But as you said all of their kids (-Percy) were great quiddich players...

It's just a school team, Arthur could have very well tried out and not made the team or he could have been like Ron and not had a good enough broom. They're only 7 players and they don't have any reserve players in uniform

I can't see Arthur playing Quidditch either... i can see him more like Percy. Interesting theory though.
[except not falling out with his family.] LOL. This post has been edited by Bertie-Bott--x: Jul 3 2008, 03:12 PM |

I see Molly as captainess as keeper. That should've been the great time of Gryffindor's team in the years before Harry. With a strength of personality as hers, she could've even managed to defeat Hufflepuff: the star team (the one team which always defeated Harry and his stars trying to make a team).
I guess, just as Ron wanted to impress Hermione, Arthur enter the team for Molly. He did his best as seeker under her training, that's how he become such organized to run a family of 7 children. |

I too never thought Arthur to be one to play quidditch. Though he may love the sport it doesn’t mean he was on the team, and since there are only seven players he would of had to be really good to get on the team. As for Molly though she is a strong woman I don't think she would have been on the team either.
