Beater - There were never really activities in gym class which required me to have considerable upperarm strength - a must for a beater! So I can only guesstimate that a beater should have the physical strength between opening a jar of pickles without help to a good pitcher's arm like in baseball. I definitely have neither so batting away bludgers for an entire match might not be the best place for me. Especially since the decent balance I have is to keep myself upright while walking, I probably couldn't swing and fly at the same time....
Chaser - A position for athletes who are given the responsibility of scoring team points by swinging the Quaffle through the three-hoops of the opposite team. I pretty much excelled at every sport growing up besides basketball. No matter how close I positioned myself to the hoops, I never succeeded in getting one through- and that was with two feet on the ground. Though aiming the Quaffle at three hoops would probably add odds in my favor, I think I'll need something a little more stationery...
Seeker - The main attraction to this position, since I am a fellow Gryffindor, is to follow in Harry's footsteps and seek Golden Snitch. However, the skills of a seeker tend to go on the fast side and there is a major realization that scoring an upset victory would rest on my shoulders. Chasing after a fly ball in baseball was never my forte...However, hitting it on the other hand...
Keeper - is definitely something I can do! To be a keeper is to protect the three goal posts from the opposite team attempting to score. Any game where I could hit a ball was something I excelled at - give me a goal post to protect and I'll succeed. Though the heaviness of the gear does make me worry about how long I could last batting back and forth between the three hoops, I definitely think it's something I would get used to! So, for me, Keeper it is! :D
Which Quidditch position most suits you? Or is your rightful place cheering others on from the stands?
