LUDOVIC BAGMAN

Despite the acquisition of a large belly, Ludovic Bagman still looks like a burly, blonde, blue-eyed "overgrown schoolboy." Indeed, he has the disposition to match. Once a beater for the Wimbourne Wasps, Ludo still retains a squashed nose and vigorous temperament. He is the head of Magical Games and Sports, but doesn't seem to take the responsibility as seriously as many of his colleagues would like. In fact, it is from his department that Bertha Jorkins went missing, and laid-back as ever, Ludo put off looking for her. And we all know what happened to Bertha.... Bagman has a heavy fondness of, or rather, dependency on, gambling. He is also quite dishonest about it, paying off Fred and George Weasley with disappearing Leprechaun's gold. In the end, he had to run from goblins he owed money. Ludo was set up as the red-herring in the "Goblet of Fire"....through the pensieve Harry sees him on trail for allegedly passing info to Deatheaters (he was declared 'not guilty'), and Bagman shows an unusual amount of support to Harry during the Triwizard Tasks; Bagman even offers to help Harry even though he himself was a judge. However, turns out he just put bets on Harry winning the tournament. Somehow it completely slipped my notice that Rowling was setting him up as the bad guy...I just figured Ludo was taken with "famous Harry Potter" and wanted him to win. Oops. Upon rereading, however, I can see how one would think him the culprit. I feel kinda stupid....

"'Ahoy there!' Bagman called happily. He was walking as though he had springs attached to the balls of his feet and was plainly in a state of wild excitement. 'Arthur, old man,' he puffed as he reached the campfire, 'what a day, eh? What a day! Could we have asked for more perfect weather? A cloudless night coming... and hardly a hiccough in the arrangements... Not much for me to do!' Behind him, a group of haggard-looking Ministry wizards rushed past, pointing at the distant evidence of some sort of a magical fire that was sending violet sparks twenty feet into the air." GOF, pg 87
