Oliver Wood

Oliver Wood is Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team in the first three novels. Wood, described as "burly," is a talented and keen player and a born leader as captain, but also tends to act as a taskmaster due to his obsession with the game; he never cancels practices, poor weather conditions notwithstanding, and holds training sessions in early morning hours. In his seventh year, before the Quidditch Cup final, he constantly harangues Harry to catch the Golden Snitch only when Gryffindor is fifty points ahead of Slytherin during the match. His long-time rival is Slytherin captain Marcus Flint; they are well known for trying to break each other's fingers during their pre-match handshakes. Oliver appears briefly in Goblet of Fire, when he excitedly introduces Harry to his parents at the Quidditch World Cup and announces that he joined the Puddlemere United reserve team.
Although Wood is not seen again until the seventh book, his tenacity is not soon forgotten. In Order of the Phoenix, when Angelina Johnson assumes the team captaincy with equal fervour, Harry remarks to Ron, "I think we'd better check with Puddlemere United to see if Oliver Wood's been killed during a training session, because she seems to be channelling his spirit." He is one of many Hogwarts students, past and present, who takes part in the Battle of Hogwarts in Deathly Hallows, and is among the survivors; Harry sees him assisting Neville Longbottom in carrying the body of Colin Creevey.
Oliver appeared in the first two films, and was played by Sean Biggerstaff.
