Oliver's Wood

Product Information

That September, he woke Harry and the team up very early the first Saturday for their first Quidditch practice of the year. It’ll be down to you, Harry, to show them that a Seeker has to have something more than a rich father. Similarly, the character is described as burly and seems to get bigger each year, which was not something the actor did.

The success of the Harry Potter 7-book series was unlike anything the world has ever previously seen. Once Wood is satisfied that Harry is capable, he has Harry join the regular practices three evenings a week.Harry saw the silhouette of a black dog in the crowd, and Oliver had to shout at Harry to point out the Snitch that Diggory was pursuing. This is inaccurate as in the World Cup in 1994, Viktor Krum caught the snitch, but Ireland won as they were ahead by more than 15 goals (150 points). Sue was hugely fortunate enough to hone her skills as an illustrator whilst she worked for the likes of Bloomsbury, Walker Books, Oxford University Press, Macmillan etc, illustrating and writing picture books. Hermione intervened when Harry stated he couldn't see clear enough, enchanting the glasses using " Impervius" to keep water sticking to it, leaving Oliver very happy.

In 1995, Harry Potter made a joke with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger about how the new Gryffindor captain, Angelina Johnson, seemed to be channelling Oliver's intense competitiveness, and that perhaps they should check with Puddlemere United that Oliver is still alive and hadn't been killed during a training session. Professor McGonagall pointed them into a classroom that was empty except for Peeves, who was busy writing rude words on the blackboard.

His overzealous attitude toward Quidditch creates some of the greatest comedic moments in the earlier books, and his absence in the films is sorely felt. During this second match, Oliver had to remind Harry Potter not to be a gentleman and chuck Cho Chang off her broom if he had to to get the snitch.
