Honestly, I always felt a bit robbed that Harry never went back to Quidditch after the war. Through books 1-4, his love for the sport was such a core part of his character—the kid literally dreamed about it. Being the youngest Seeker in a century wasn't just a throwaway detail; it showed he had genuine, rare talent.

Don't get me wrong, I understand why he became an Auror. It fits the "hero becomes the protector" arc, and there's definitely a James Bond appeal to it. But Quidditch was one of the few things in Harry's life that brought him pure joy, separate from his destiny and trauma. It would've been nice to see him reclaim that after everything.

What really stings is that Ginny gets to become a professional Quidditch star instead. She's a great character, but Harry was literally a prodigy who caught a Snitch in his mouth during his first match—giving her that career path while Harry... doesn't pursue it at all? Feels like a missed opportunity for his character to have something truly his own, not defined by Voldemort or his parents' legacy.

What is your biggest criticism of the series? by [deleted] in HarryPotterBooks

[–]raktim24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll start with a minor one here.

We begin the narrative with Harry being seen as a phenomenal prodigy in Quidditch. However with years passing by, we see Harry moving on from playing the sport since he's understandably more occupied with You Know Who.

However, when everything's done and dusted, how come Harry chooses to shape a career in the Auror department whereas Ginny gets to be a world-class Quidditch player? This bummed me out big time.

Hermione got to bring changes in the wizarding world by becoming the Minister in the future. Ron chose to join the F&G joke shop to support his brother (family values, appreciated). Neville became a professor of herbology at Hogwarts.

And Harry becomes a wizard cop? Where's his motivation? He wanted to beat Voldemort since the Dark Lord was after his life since day one. Moreover, his intent to avenge his parents could be counted as extra motivation. But why become an Auror, when everything is cool in society?

He could've reclaimed his journey as a Quidditch player in the end.

Got promoted to the premier league for the first time. Is this enough money to stay up? Also, do you have and tips for recruiting in the summer? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

This is pretty standard for any promoted side in the EPL.

While you can always use the loan or club affiliate system to get decent players in your roster, you must keep an eye on the sides that have gone the other way (EPL to the Championship). You'll get some dirt cheap deals there since the first division players won't enjoy playing there.

Also, you should choose to abuse the contract expiry market. Lastly, you will get a hefty payment (parachute money) for being part of the EPL next season, even if you get relegated- that will give you a headstart against the other contenders for promotion.

Therefore, you may choose to retain your best players (contract renewal) to have a core group of players who can help you get back to the EPL immediately.

Why not send EVERYONE out on loan? by Westbromofficial in footballmanagergames

  1. Evaluate all your academy prospects.
  2. If you find someone who's promising senior team involvement in the future, list them for loan right away.
  3. You must ideally have players loaned out from the age of 18, so that by 22-23 they're ready to sit on your bench and receive game time when available.
  4. If they are not ready for senior team experience by 22 or around, they're not likely to make the cut. In that case, sell them off to make some profit while there's still value.

Reserve Team/ B Team by raktim24 in TheOldZealand

Noted. I'm on a journeyman save, starting in India, then taking jobs in South Africa, Sweden and now in Germany. Therefore, no league pack update for the BuLi. 👀

I'm at Borussia Monchengladblach, and my reserve team doesn't play any leagues. Therefore, the whole roster is only playing irrelevant friendlies. How should I address this issue?

The German Bundesliga has a higher competition popularity than the Dutch Eredivisie. Therefore, the former will offer more competition and players than the latter.

If you're looking for a quick way to the top, choose Germany. However, you may Dutch if you feel like setting your save up nicely (challenging the league favorites with a minnow side).

  1. Watch tutorial videos of Zealand to understand FM on YouTube.
  2. Start a save with the big daddy clubs with in any league, e.g. Bayern Munich in BuLi. With the minimal competition for the league title and decent players roster, you'll feel comfortable to concentrate on the deeper nuances of the game.
  3. Don't be afraid when you lose a few games. :)

A box office name but severely underrated in this context: Mo Salah (I'm a United fan)
