Angelina Johnson
Angelina Johnson is a Gryffindor student and a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, playing a vital role in the team's pursuit of the Quidditch Cup during Harry Potter's third year at Hogwarts. As one of the team's three Chasers, alongside Katie Bell and Alicia Spinnet, she is responsible for scoring goals by putting the Quaffle through the opposing team's hoops. Her skill and determination are crucial to Gryffindor's success, and she is a prominent figure in the team's high-stakes matches against Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.
Role on the Quidditch Team
Angelina is identified by Oliver Wood, the Gryffindor team captain, as one of the team's "three superb Chasers." During the final practice before the Ravenclaw match, she performs her moves faultlessly, contributing to a practice that Wood declares has no criticisms. In the Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw match, she scores a goal, and after Harry catches the Snitch, she is one of the teammates who kisses him in celebration. In the Quidditch final against Slytherin, she scores a penalty shot after a foul by Marcus Flint, and later, when the entire Slytherin team tries to block her, Harry clears a path, allowing her to score again. Her performance is integral to Gryffindor's victory in the final, which secures the Quidditch Cup.
Personality and Interactions
Angelina is portrayed as a spirited and competitive player. She laughs with her fellow Chasers when Oliver Wood expresses concern about facing Cedric Diggory, the new Hufflepuff Seeker, whom they find attractive. She also participates in the post-match celebrations, joining in the party in the Gryffindor common room after the Ravenclaw victory. Her interactions with her teammates are those of a dedicated and enthusiastic athlete, fully invested in the team's goals.
