In this article we will talk about one ofsecondary characters from the world of Harry Potter, namely about Oliver Wood. This character is a model of perseverance, courage and determination. You will find out who Oliver is, what he did and who he became after the end of the cycle about the boy who survived.
Wood's favorite game
Anyone who has ever read the Harry Potter booksor watched films of the same name, they know that the most famous and most loved by wizards sport is Quidditch. This game has four goals. The first ball is a snitch. He is trying to catch the catcher, which was Harry Potter himself. The second and third goals are bloggers who are trying to knock riders off the brooms. Finally, the fourth ball is a quaffle. It is the last ball that scores in the opponent's rings. And the rings themselves are protected by the goalkeeper, who in the Gryffindor Quidditch national team in the first three years of Harry Potter's studies at Hogwarts was Oliver.
Oliver Wood from Harry Potter: Character Type
Oliver is a young man who at the time of enrollmentHarry Potter in the school of magic was studying in his fifth year. This character was born in 1976. He is a thoroughbred wizard, but not against muggleborns (that is, people from non-magical families) and clearly does not approve of the movement of supporters Volan de Mort.
Оливер Вуд отличается целеустремленностью и perseverance. He also enjoys Quidditch and at the time of the first book he wants to win the championship with all his might, but he succeeds in doing this only in the third year of Harry Potter's studies. In his last final match, Oliver was so happy about the victory of his team that he burst into tears of happiness. The build of Oliver is dense, he is very strong and masterly knows how to fly a broomstick. Eyes are dark brown, hair is dark blond.
Wood Oliver: movies with this character
The first appearance of this character was inan initial film about the school of sorcery ("Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"). In the broom flying lesson, Harry Potter, in the absence of Madame Trick, sits on a broom and catches a reminder of Neville that Draco Malfoy (a student of the Slytherin faculty) threw. This scene was seen by Professor McGonagall (Dean of the Faculty of Gryffindor, a strict but fair woman), who came for Harry and took him to Voodoo.
At first, the boy thought that “Wood” was some kind ofa terrible punishment, but then I saw that it was the goalkeeper and captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Oliver was very happy with the new catcher, who gave good hopes. But despite this, the Gryffindor team did not win the main match due to the fact that Harry and his friends saved the philosopher's stone from Volan de Mort.
In the second film there is also this character, buthe does not play a special role there. As in the first part, Wood’s team was unable to win the final match due to the fact that Harry Potter was in the hospital wing after a fight with Basilisk and Volan de Mort. In the third film ("Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban") in the first match, Harry loses his first broom because the Dementors came to the match.
After some time, he from an unknownthe sender comes another broom "Lightning". Oliver Wood is incredibly pleased with this gift and even asks Professor McGonagall to give Harry the broom without any checks, for which he receives the expected refusal. However, the broom turns out to be operational and in the final match the Gryffindor team finally wins. Oliver Wood finishes school and begins his sports career in the adult world.
In the fourth part, this character appearsonly in the book. There, he meets Harry and his friends at the Quidditch World Cup, where he talks about being accepted into the second composition of Paddlemere United. In the fifth book, Oliver's name casually flashes in a conversation between Zhou Chang and Harry Potter. In the sixth part of this character does not appear and is not mentioned.
In the seventh part of Harry Potter, Oliver Wood togetherwith members of the Order of the Phoenix, as well as with students and students of Hogwarts participated in the battle against the Death Eaters and their leader Lord Volan de Mort. During the one-hour respite provided by Volan de Mort to the defenders of Hogwarts, Oliver helped Neville to collect and carry the dead bodies (including Colin Currie) to the great hall, and also to find the wounded.
Further life after winning the battle of Hogwarts
Some time after defeatingdeath eaters Oliver Wood married Harper Varianna, his classmate. This is a purebred sorceress from a not very rich family, and she is not mentioned in books or in films. In the future, Wood will have three children: the younger son of Wood, Ryan and the twin sisters Kimberley and Madison Wood.
