Before Robert Pattinson melted little girls’ hearts as Edward Cullen in the Twilight films, he starred in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory, the handsome Seeker on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team who makes all the girls at Hogwarts swoon. After the Goblet of Fire chooses Harry for the Triwizard Tournament—despite the fact that he’s underage—Cedric, the tournament favorite, is the only one student at Hogwarts who stays in Harry’s corner. Unfortunately, Cedric is killed at the end of the film by Lord Voldemort’s Boy Friday, Peter Pettigrew. Heather Mitts, a defender on the U.S. Women’s team, matches Diggory’s skills and good looks. Mitts has long been considered one of the team’s best defenders, and this year she finally got to show off her moves in her first World Cup. She knows how to work it off the field, too. ESPN.com named her “Sexiest Female Athlete” in 2004, and a year later she appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. She scored big last year when she married her on-again, off-again boyfriend, NFL quarterback A.J. Feeley. Cedric, meanwhile, dated Harry’s (brief) future squeeze, Cho Chang.
