Harry was very confident in Ron. First of all, Ron played very well in the competition at the end of last semester.
When he was in perfect form, he could be said to be the strongest goalkeeper in Gryffindor and even in the entire Hogwarts.
In the past week, Harry had trained with Ron many times for the sake of this trial. Ron's performance during training was remarkable, and he could always knock down the ball. As long as he played normally, there was nothing to worry about.
But the current reality was that this seemed to be the most worrying thing.
Ron's form had always been unstable, and the level of play he could play decreased with the increase of the number of spectators.
Harry looked up at the almost full auditorium. There were a little too many people today!
He hoped that Ron could hold on. He thought for a moment and decided to do a basic test first.
Harry asked all the people who applied to join the team to be divided into groups of ten and fly around the field.
Last year, Angelina organized the tryouts to do exactly that.
Although the action of flying around the field was simple, it allowed them to directly observe each person's flying skills.
Also, their ability to control the broom.
This was really a wise decision. Soon, Harry was glad that he had done so.
He deliberately let the juniors who were not familiar with him start first, so the ten people in the first group were all freshmen.
Obviously, they had never flown before.
Only one boy stayed in the air for a few seconds. Even he was shocked to death. Soon he hit the goalpost.
The second group was made up of ten girls. Harry had never met such silly girls before.
As soon as he blew the whistle, they giggled and hugged each other.
When Harry asked them to leave the field, they left happily and sat in the stands, blaming each other.
"They're not here to participate in the trial at all. They're here for Harry." Hermione said, "I know what they're planning to do. These girls want to use this method to attract Harry's attention. It would be even better if they could date each other."
"It would be nice if Harry could find a girlfriend there," Elwyn said.
When it came to relationships, Harry was even weaker than him. He would always say the wrong things or do the wrong things on the wrong occasions.
"Do you think that's possible? They don't really like Harry at all. They just want to use this method to become famous. Some of them even wrote you love letters before … "
"Is that so? I didn't know about this at all! "Elwyn said honestly." You know, those love letters were burned by Dobby! "
He really didn't know. He hadn't read any of those love letters.
Seemingly satisfied with his answer, Hermione didn't linger on this topic.
On the field below, the test continued, and the third group crashed into a pile halfway around the field.
Most of the people in the fourth group came without brooms, while the fifth group was made up of Hufflepuff students.
"Who here isn't from Gryffindor Academy?!" Harry roared. He was really annoyed. "Please leave immediately!"
After a pause, two junior students from Ravenclaw ran out of the field laughing.
Although Harry sped up, there were too many people participating in the trial, so it took more than three hours for three ball chasers to be selected. There were many accidents in the whole process. Harry shouted so loudly in the late stage that his voice was hoarse.
One of them even smashed a Comet 260, and another knocked out a few teeth.
From this, it could be seen how difficult it was to select three ball chasers from so many candidates who met the requirements.
The three ball chasers were Katie Bell, who had performed well and returned to the team. There was also Demirza Robbins, who was a substitute for Gryffindor Academy last semester. She finally returned to the team as an official player as she wished.
Demirza was also the only one among the substitutes who didn't have many opportunities to play in the game last semester.
She was a ball chaser. Angelina, Aliya, and Katie had been very stable, unlike Harry, Fred, and George who were suspended. However, Demirza never fell behind in every training session and accumulated a lot of experience.
The last ball chaser was Richer Gutt.
Speaking of which, he was originally a batter, but he was too weak, and his physical condition was too poor.
Harry thought that he didn't hit the ball hard enough to be lethal and intimidating enough, so he was eliminated!
But it was undeniable that Richer flew well and reacted quickly. Harry finally suggested that he become a batter.
The two people whose positions were also adjusted by Harry were Elaine and Ginny.
Both of them were originally going to be the ball chaser, and they were also the fastest and best in the game.
Logically speaking, both of them met the requirements to be a ball chaser, but Harry really couldn't find any outstanding batters like Fred and George. After choosing, he found that Elaine and Ginny were probably the two most suitable to be a batter.
Although they were both girls, and petite girls at that, they were both very good.
In the last game of the last semester, when Harry returned and Fred and George left the Hogwarts, Ginny switched from a ball seeker to a batter. She played very well, hit very accurately, and used her strength. She hit the ball hard enough to help the team win the Quidditch Trophy.
Ginny's performance in the past was amazing, and Harry was very confident that she would become a batter.
As for Elaine, her identity and aura were enough to suppress her opponents.
Not to mention, she was also very strong. Vampires were superior to wizards in terms of physical fitness and basic conditions.
Making her a batter was also better than the rest of the guys.
The team's players were basically as Elwyn predicted. Except for the Frobisher siblings, all the members of the last semester returned. The only unexpected change was that Elaine and Ginny became batters, which was probably a feature of the Gryffindor team.
It was the first time for the Hogwarts to let two girls be the batters.
It had to be said that, in the eyes of outsiders, Harry's decision was very bold, even a little stupid.
But Elwyn and Hermione, who knew the actual situation, both thought that Harry's decision was very good.
On the other hand, Harry allowed Corin to be the team's substitute. This was an idea that Elwyn came up with, and it had also become a feature of the Gryffindor team since last year.
Also becoming a substitute was Jimmy Perks, a broad-chested, short third-year student. His hard walk ball hit the back of Harry's head with a bulge the size of an egg. In addition, there were also the Frobisher siblings. Although they were unwilling to participate in the selection, Harry still kept them as substitutes.
After these things were done, the selection on the field came to an end. Harry deliberately put the selection of the goalkeeper at the end.
He hoped that there would be fewer people on the field at this time, so that the pressure on the players would be less.
Unfortunately, not only did no one leave, but all the players who were not selected, as well as many people who had just finished their breakfast, joined the audience again. There were even more people in the stands than before. Now, almost half of the school was watching the selection of the Gryffindor team.
When every goalkeeper flew to the goal, the audience below burst into the same enthusiastic cheers and laughter.
Harry glanced at Ron. Ron's face was slightly green, and his hand holding the broom was trembling slightly.
