Hopefully this summer Mr. Zavala will steer his team to victory and win Britain the title of Quidditch World Cup Champions.

The British Quidditch Team Captain In 10 Fascinating Facts!
With the Quidditch World Cup well underway now, we here at Witch Weekly thought it was high time we took a closer look at the impressive team looking to bring victory to Britain this year. Chiefly, the captain of the team, Mr. Esteban Zavala.

Here are some vitally important facts about Captain Zavala that every patriotic lady ought to be aware of.

The dashing 1890 National Quidditch Captain, Esteban Zavala.

1. Mr. Zavala is not in fact the first Quidditch World Cup player in his family, nor even the first captain! In his youth, Zavala's father was the captain of the national team for Mexico.

2. Born May 27th, Mr. Zavala is a Gemini. He is also a Gryffindor alumna. The keen astrologers out there are sure to have a well-formed idea of the sort of man our captain is.

3. Mr. Zavala and an acquaintance once had a hair-raising altercation with a dragon after flying into the beast's lair! He probably still has the scorch marks from the sounds of it.

4. At a respectable 28 years of age, it's likely that Mr. Zavala won't be on the national team when the Quidditch World Cup returns in four years. Now at an age when many quidditch players choose to reture, the British Quidditch League will surely be the poorer for having lost such a good player.

5. To bring him luck and courage in the skies Mr. Zavala dons a ribbon of his mother's around his wrist before every quidditch match.

6. The first broomstick Mr. Zavala owned as a Volar he inherited from his father. His current racing broom is a Grimstone Skyrocket, a rather aptly named broom as anyone who has seen Zavala fly can attest.

7. When he is not captaining the national team, Mr. Zavala is the Captain and first-string Keeper of Puddlemere United.

8. Mr. Zavala has been playing quidditch since his early school days, landing a spot on Puddlemere's second-string straight out of Hogwarts and he hasn't stopped since!
9. His preferred weather conditions for flying are dry, with a gentle breeze.

10. Of all the different moves and tactics in quidditch, Mr. Zavala's favorite is the Starfish and Stick - a tricky technique that can be fatal if performed incorrectly but when mastered makes for an iron defense. Unless of course the keeper has a seeker's build but that's not a problem for Zavala.
