WHY DID RON HAVE TO TRY OUT FOR THE QUIDDITCH TEAM THEIR 6TH YEAR, WHEN AT NO POINT HAD THERE EVER BEEN ANY MENTION OF PREVIOUS MEMBERS HAVING TO TRY OUT AGAIN/MEMBERS BEING DROPPED FROM NOT BEING THE BEST AT THEIR SECOND TRYOUT?

I thought this was ridiculous! Just thrown in to add drama. In fact, in the 5th book, Angelina said she wanted the entire team to be there for the Keeper tryouts to make sure that person meshed with the existing team members. There was ZERO mention throughout the entire 5 books that they had to do another tryout every year. I thought it was dumb!

I mean, that's just how sports work? You don't actually think they just have the same team for the whole 4/7 years? If a player doesn't work out, they're off the team, same if a more promising player auditions for that same position. It's half the work and heartbreak of sports.

Plus team members graduate and aren’t at the school any longer to play.

... I was going to say, does OP just not know anything about how school sports work? I was on the basketball team and I had to try out every year. Just because you made the team one year doesn't guarantee you'll make it the next if other people who are trying out are better than you.

This. Like, especially school sports. Sometimes players are allowed to play a few extra years. But generally when they graduate, they move on and new players take their place.

The whole reason the keeper role was open was because Oliver graduated.

I think OP's concern is that tryouts were never one mentioned before that book, and no team member changed until one left school. Harry literally never tried out once in the entire series.

thiiiiis ppl here just take a surface level read of a secret and go NUH UH YOU'RE WRONG YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING without bothering to read the entire secret and think about what is being said

for 5 books there was zero mention of tryouts except to replace a player who had left the team. there was no mention of anyone having to try out again. not for anyone on any of the house teams. there was just zero mention of it and you'd think it would have come up at some point "oh there are seeker tryouts" (which harry never did in the first place btw so obviously there's not a huge strict rule that there have to be trials) then suddenly it's a thing in the 6th book

[(Anonymous)]

I know nothing about team sports but Harry is taking the advice directly from I think Katie Bell (might have been Alicia Spinnet), who he'd been on the Team with from the beginning, she told him not to assure her a place because things could get stagnant.

And lets be honest the team from the year before was pretty bad. Once Harry and the twins were tossed off, the only really star player was Ron. Ron unfortunately is one of those people who has to "on" to be good, and someone reliably good is a lot more use than someone who's unreliably brilliant.
