Cedric Diggory

Cedric Diggory is captain and Seeker of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, an older student described as tall, good-looking, and hard to dislike. His debut comes in a storm-lashed match against Gryffindor, and what marks him out is what happens after the winning catch: convinced the conditions made the result unfair to his opponent, Cedric argues for a replay of the game he has just won. That instinct for fairness is the core of him. Quiet rather than showy, admired across all four houses, and modest about the attention he attracts, he stands as Hufflepuff's model student, living proof that decency and ability are not rival qualities.
