When Harry Potter held his first tryouts as Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, McLaggen tried out for the position of Keeper. Harry disliked McLaggen's bossy and abrasive personality. However, McLaggen was performing well in the trial until jinxed by Hermione Granger who surreptitiously used the Confundus Charm, causing him to miss his last save. Ron Weasley made all of his saves and was chosen instead. McLaggen did not give in graciously, but accused Ginny Weasley of favouring Ron by giving him shots that were easy to block. Harry rejected this accusation and pointed out that Ginny's goal attempt was in fact the one that gave Ron the most trouble.

The wisdom of Harry's choice was proven during one game when Ron was unable to play and McLaggen was substituted as Keeper. This led to a complete disaster when McLaggen ordered the team about instead of focusing on his own position. Leaving his post to "demonstrate" the correct use of the Beater's bat, he managed to knock Harry unconscious with the Bludger. Gryffindor was defeated by a devastating 320 points to 60, making McLaggen highly unpopular. Once he woke up Harry claimed to want to murder McLaggen but this was probably just rage talking. It's indicated the rest of the team had already caught up with him though what they did is not revealed at any time.


McLaggen was a member of Horace Slughorn's Slug Club because of his Uncle Tiberius (one of the elders who resigned from the Wizengamot in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix).
