She is primarily known as a [[Chaser]] for the all-female [[Holyhead Harpies]] team. Her most notable achievement is succeeding the legendary [[Gwenog Jones]] as [[Captain]] of the team upon Jones's retirement. Morgan's existence is established in the supplementary book, //[[Quidditch Through the Ages]]//, and she is not mentioned in the original seven novels. =====Biography===== Very little is known about Valmai Morgan's life. Her career as a professional [[Quidditch]] player for the [[Holyhead Harpies]] is the only documented part of her history. The [[Holyhead Harpies]] are a Welsh team, founded in 1203, known for being one of the oldest and most famous teams in the [[British and Irish Quidditch League]]. Morgan played in the position of [[Chaser]]. Following the retirement of her celebrated teammate and [[Captain]], [[Gwenog Jones]], Valmai Morgan was chosen to take over the captaincy of the team. This indicates she was a highly respected and skilled player among her peers. The exact dates of her career are not specified. =====Physical Appearance and Personality===== There is no information available from any canonical or supplementary sources regarding Valmai Morgan's physical appearance or personality traits. =====Magical Abilities and Skills===== * **[[Quidditch]] Prowess:** As a [[Chaser]] and later [[Captain]] for a professional team of the [[Holyhead Harpies]]' caliber, Morgan was undoubtedly an exceptionally talented [[Quidditch]] player. Her skills would include expert [[broomstick]] flying, superb handling of the [[Quaffle]], and advanced strategic thinking. * **General Magical Ability:** As a qualified [[witch]], she would have been proficient in various forms of [[magic]], though no specific skills or signature spells are known. =====Possessions===== * **[[Wand]]:** As a [[witch]], Valmai Morgan would have possessed a [[wand]], though its characteristics are unknown. * **[[Broomstick]]:** She would have owned a professional-quality racing [[broomstick]] suitable for her role as a [[Chaser]] in the professional league. The specific model is not mentioned. * **[[Holyhead Harpies]] Uniform:** She wore the official team uniform, which consists of dark green robes with a golden talon emblem on the chest. =====Relationships===== Her primary known professional relationship was with [[Gwenog Jones]], her predecessor as [[Captain]] of the [[Holyhead Harpies]]. She was teammates with Jones before her retirement and was evidently held in high enough regard to be named her successor. No information about her family or other personal relationships is available. =====Etymology===== * **Valmai:** The name is of Welsh origin, fitting for a player on a Welsh [[Quidditch]] team. It can be a combination of Welsh elements, possibly meaning "Mayflower." The name strongly reinforces her connection to Wales, the home of the [[Holyhead Harpies]]. * **Morgan:** A very common Welsh surname derived from the Old Welsh personal name "Morcant." In mythology, it is famously associated with Morgan le Fay (or Morgana), a powerful enchantress from Arthurian legend, giving the name a strong magical connotation. =====Behind the Scenes===== * Valmai Morgan is first mentioned in the supplementary book //[[Quidditch Through the Ages]]//, written by J.K. Rowling under the pseudonym [[Kennilworthy Whisp]]. * She also appears on a [[Famous Wizard Card]] (Card #35) in the video game adaptation of //[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]// (video game). The card's text reiterates that she plays [[Chaser]] for the [[Holyhead Harpies]].
