Here is the second round I promised.

Round 2

Well folks after that short break it is time for us to begin the 2nd and final round in the 2000 Quidditch Pro Draft. After the excitement of the first round the second round tends to be pretty ordinary. The first few picks should be borderline 1st round players or in this years case players who would have been in the first round in their respective years had the draft been preformed. Expect to see many chasers drafted now in this chaser rich draft. Here comes the commissioner with the first pick of the 2nd round.

With the 14th pick in the 2000 Quidditch Pro Draft: Pride of Portree select, Ben Warburton, Beater, Magical College of Arizona.

Well no surprise there. As soon as Warburton didn't go in the 1st round it was obvious the Portree would take him at the start of the 2nd. He may have been the backup beater for the US national team but that doesn't stop him being one of the best in the world and to get him now is a steal. Time to continue.

With the 15th pick in the 2000 Quidditch Pro Draft: The Chudley Canons select, Ron Weasley, Keeper, Hogwarts.

Finally here is a player who really got screwed by both the influx of American players and the postponing of the draft. Had neither happened Weasley would have gone 2nd overall behind his best friend Harry Potter but alas he has fallen to this stage, the consolation is as, we watch him meet the commissioner and get his official robes, that he is going to his favorite team and maybe he can help the ailing Canons who had the most goals scored against them last season. Now for the next selection.

With the 16th pick in the 2000 Quidditch Pro Draft: The Apple Arrows select, Zacharias Smith, Chaser, Hogwarts.

Well this is interesting, Smith was projected late 2nd round due to his pompous attitude and as a result wasn't invited to attend tonight. Lets call this choice strange and see how it pans out. Next.

With the 17th pick in the 2000 Quidditch Pro Draft: The Wigtown Wanderers select, Roger Davis, Chaser, Hogwarts.

Wigtown needed a decent chaser and who else to go for than former Ravenclaw chaser and captain Roger Davis. He would have been a top 5 pick in 1997 had the draft occurred, oh well he should be a useful asset to the Wanderers. Next.

With the 18th pick in the 2000 Quidditch Pro Draft: The Montrose Magpies select, Miles Bletchley, Hogwarts.

This was the Magpies only selection this year and it looks like they have decided to try to improve at keeper. As a former Slytherin, Bletchley is known to be dirty but that is hard to do at keeper. Overall a solid pick. Next.

With the 19th pick in the 2000 Quidditch Pro Draft: Puddlemere United select, Alicia Spinet, Chaser, Hogwarts.

Puddlemere like Appleby have taken advantage of this chaser rich draft and taken former Gryffindor chaser Alicia Spinet. Like several players this year she would have been a top 10 pick had the draft occurred in the past 6 years but all that means is that this year there is more talent to choose from. Next.

With the 20th pick in the 2000 Quidditch Pro Draft: The Caerphilly Catapults select, Dean Thomas, Chaser, Hogwarts.

History has been made tonight as the 1st ever muggle born player is drafted. Thomas who was a backup for Gryffindor in his 6th year at Hogwarts (although due to injuries and suspentions he started all 3 games) survived the muggle born purge last year and while not a strong player it does mean a lot for this sport that he has been drafted. Next.

With the 21st pick in the 2000 Quidditch Pro Draft: The Kenmare Kestrels select, Cormac McLaggon, Keeper, Hogwarts.

Another questionable call I have to say. McLaggon who only played one game at Hogwarts (because starting Gryffindor keeper Ron Weasley was recovering from a poisoning) and in that one game be managed to almost kill his captain, Harry Potter, who incidentally was Kenmare's 1st round choice. McLaggon is another player who wasn't invited tonight, we will watch carefully to see how this strange choice pans out. Next.

With the 22nd pick in the 2000 Quidditch Pro Draft: The Ballycastle Bats select, Graham Montague, Chaser, Hogwarts.

George Weasley will not be happy with this. Montague was a Slytherin during his time at Hogwarts and ranks 3rd behind fellow Slytherins Adrian Pucey and Marcus Flint for all time career fouls and he was a constant rival of the Weasley twins during their time there which culminated in a nasty accident involving Montague and a vanishing cabinet. This could be a very poor choice. Next.

With the 23rd pick in the 2000 Quidditch Pro Draft: The The Holyhead Harpies select, Angelina Johnson, Chaser, Hogwarts.

The Harpies are very lucky with this pick. Not only has Johnson fallen farther than most experts predicted (being ranked 16th overall in this draft) she is the only female player left available. This is a great pick for the Harpies because had the draft occurred in 1997 Johnson would have been the 3rd overall pick behind the Weasley twins. The Harpies have two solid Gryffindor chasers who know each other well, they will do well next year. Next.

With the 24th pick in the 2000 Quidditch Pro Draft: The Wimbourne Wasps select, Blaise Zabini, Chaser, Hogwarts.

Well we are at the point of the draft where the top teams from last year are stuck with taking poor players in this case Blaise Zabini. Zabini was a brief chaser for Slytherin who had a poor record and as such wasn't invited tonight (all invited players have been drafted). It is unknown what his potential is but the experts weren't expecting him to be drafted tonight but this is the price the good teams pay for being good. Next.

With the 25th pick in the 2000 Quidditch Pro Draft: The Falmouth Falcons select, Draco Malfoy, Seeker, Hogwarts.

Money can't buy talent and that is certainly the case for Draco Malfoy. It is well known he bribed his way onto the Slytherin team and apart from being dirty like all Slytherins (no doubt why Falmouth took him) he is a pretty terrible player. That and being investigated for crimes against the magical community during You-Know-Who's reign of terror means that this seeker won't last long in the league. Now for the final pick in this year's draft.

With the 26th pick in the 2000 Quidditch Pro Draft: The Tutshill Tornadoes select, Gregory Goyle, Beater, Hogwarts.

That is it folks the last pick is in and just like at the end of the 1st round the Tornadoes go with an absolute shocker in Gregory Goyle. Goyle is considered the dumbest player ever to ender the draft and is currently being investigated for crimes committed in the last year and as such this pick will not last very long.

Thank you all for watching the 2000 Quidditch Pro Draft, stay tuned as we talk to some of the top players from this year's draft including the top 2 seekers in the world. Also we will be joined shortly by the new General Manager for the Kenmare Kestrels, Seamus Finnegan, to discus how Kenmare will do now that they have the famous Harry Potter on their roster.

So until we return I hope you enjoyed the 1st Quidditch draft in 6 years and we can't wait for the 2001 draft and to update you on how the top picks faired in their rookie year. So long Britain.

That's the whole draft if anyone wants more just leave a review.
