Oliver's Wood

Product Information

I did enjoy the end where he appreciated his friends more because they listened to him and didn't ignore him.

He immediately saw that Harry's build was perfect for a Seeker, and impressed upon McGonagall the need for Harry to have a decent broom to fly.

Wood is a place name (like Brooks or Field) and suggests ancestors who lived near or in a forest, or who were woodcutters. He never seemed to realise that his long-winded pep talks did not engage the rest of the team, and indeed frequently disgruntled them, possibly decreasing their motivation.

He also didn’t seem to care at all if Harry died at any point during the game so long as he caught the snitch.

He knew that he had the best team in the whole school, and he felt that the Cup would have been Gryffindor's for the past two years if events hadn't so conspired against them. In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, when Oliver was explaining Quidditch to Harry Potter, he said that the team that catches the Snitch will win the game.

His loyalty, along with his manic-panic strategist tactics, is why we love our first Gryffindor Quidditch captain, our Knight of Swords, Oliver Wood.The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged. Oliver became Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team in either 1990, his fourth year [9] or 1991, his fifth year. Oliver and the team later saw Harry in the Hospital Wing and bought cakes to eat round Harry's bed, but Madam Pomfrey told them they had to go. We see Oliver in passing in the campground before the Quidditch World Cup, where we learn that he is playing for the Puddlemere United Quidditch team.

He later came to Harry’s bedside and told him in a hollow, dead sort of voice that he didn’t blame him. King · Kris Kolumbiko · Jess Lafington · Neil Lament · Steve Laughalot · Russell Lucky · David Makehay · M. He continued to intensely train the team even in bad weather, and had Fred and George watch Slytherin to spy and they told him that their Nimbus 2001s were that high a speed that they everyone looked like a blur. When in a negative or manic place, this Knight is often short, irate, unsympathetic, and thoughtless.When Professor McGonagall sees Harry flying on his broomstick without permission, and making a truly spectacular catch, she takes him out of the courtyard. He mentioned this to Harry Potter when Oliver was in his fifth year, as Harry was nervous for his first Quidditch match. He regularly scheduled three practice sessions a week, rising to five a week before an important match. No, if Oliver is going to win a Quidditch match, it is going to be through his own careful, legitimate planning and his stellar skills as captain and Keeper.
