Gwendolyn Morgan was a Quidditch player and the Captain of the Holyhead Harpies team in 1953.
After her Seeker, Glynnis Griffiths, caught the Snitch to give them the victory in a hard-fought seven-day match, the captain of the Heidelberg Harriers, Rudolf Brand, proposed marriage immediately he landed on the ground. Morgan hit him on the head with her Cleansweep 5 (and refused) (QA7).
