CAPTAIN GRYFFINDOR EXPOSED

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH MR. OLIVER WOOD OF HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WITHARDRY

WSM: Hello, Wood! How's life so far?

O: Great, thanks for asking.

WSM: How's your 7th year in Hogwarts?

O: It's ok.

WSM: This is your 3rd time being nominated for Wizard of the Year. How do you feel?

O: Privileged… I'm really honored.

WSM: Do you think you'll win this time?

O: (laughs) Who knows? All I can say is that we're all winners. I might or I might not receive the award.

WSM: We have received owl mails from your fans all over the globe asking if you're still single. Are you?

O: (laughs) As a matter of fact, I am.

WSM: What do you look for in a girl?

O: Um… I really don't have any criteria. (laughs) Maybe I want her to be smart, confident with a great personality and a positive and adventurous outlook in life, and simply irresistible.

WSM: Are you describing someone in particular?

O: (laughs) I don't know. Am I?

WSM: You tell me.

O: (laughs) Maybe.

WSM: You are one young famous wizard, Wood. Do witches flock over you in public?

O: I have no idea that I'm well-known. Well, actually, I was around in public often, and there were a couple of incidents when witches just wanted my autograph or something.

WSM: How did you feel about that?

O: I was and am very much flattered.

WSM: What are your plans after you graduate this year?

O: Try out for any International Quidditch team.

WSM: What team would you prefer?

O: I don't know. Any, I guess. Actually, I have tried out for Puddlemere United.

WSM: As keeper?

O: Well, yeah.

WSM: Were you accepted.

O: I'm still waiting for feedbacks and such.

WSM: Good luck on that.

O: Thanks; I appreciate it.

WSM: What's your favorite Quidditch team by the way?

O: Chudley Cannons.

WSM: Did you try out for that?

O: I would have if a position was available either substitute or player.

WSM: Is there anyone in particular you'd like to meet someday?

O: Merlin?

WSM: Oooohhh…

O: (laughs)

WSM: What can you say about your Gryffindor seeker, Harry Potter?

O: He's a great seeker just like his dad, I guess or far better. He's a great friend too.

WSM: After this year, it seems that Harry Potter will take over the position as the Gryffindor Captain. Do you have any advice for him?

O: Concentrate and focus, Potter. Be a good leader. If you lose, I will come back and strangle you! (laughs)

WSM: Beware, Potter!

O: (laughs) Good luck, Potter!

WSM: Wood, why don't you describe yourself.

O: I'm devilishly good-looking. (laughs)

WSM: Do you have anything to say to your fans out there?

O: Thank you everyone! I still don't get why I'm famous… but thank you again and good luck in your life.

WSM: Thanks for your time, Wood, and break a leg.

O: I'd be happy to break you're leg. (laughs) Thank you.
