Quidditch Teams and Players

[Admin]

• What is the significance of the Gryffindor Quidditch team being co-ed?
  
• We know the Slytherin team is not co-ed at this time.
  
• Why does Angelina Johnson have to remind Oliver Wood “and women?” Why couldn’t J.K. Rowling have just had Oliver Wood included women in the first place?
  
• Angelina Johnson has not been, at this point, explicitly stated to be a person of color.
  
• How does the intersectionality of race and gender in the Hogwarts quidditch world play a part in the larger story?
  
• Do you think any disabled students play quidditch?

• During the quidditch game, Lee Jordan refers to Angelina Johnson as an excellent Chaser, and rather attractive, too.
  
• Points for referring to Angelina’s athletic ability first, but why did J.K. Rowling have to include the objectification of her here as well?
