Bio:

Before School Years:  Ollie's mother was a witch, his father was a muggle.  Being an only child, he was rather spoiled.  He became interested in Quidditch at an extremely early age and aspired to be part of a Quidditch team one day -- starting at school as early as he could.

During School Years:  He was sorted into Gryffindor and looked up to Bill Weasley as a role model.  He and Charlie became rather close friends as well, along with any members on the Quidditch team.  He had been mentored by the Weasleys and became Quidditch captain after Charlie left school.  He got to coach the twins and Harry while still in school.  He always gave tremendous locker room speeches -- which the twins always made fun of, but they got the team energized in his opinion.  

After School Years:  Once he graduated, Ollie stayed in touch with those still in Hogwarts and on the team, giving them pointers on what to help.  He signed on the Puddlemere United Reserve Team the summer he graduated and played for them up until he passed away.  He ended up really getting close with Katie Bell and the two of them married during her seventh year and ended up having a beautiful little boy, Benjamin Harvey Wood.  They always teased each other about whether or not Ben would follow in their footsteps and play Quidditch and which position he would play -- following after one of them or going on his own route.  unfortunately during the Battle of Hogwarts, they both were killed and never got to see their son grow past the age of one.
