======Zograf======
=====Introduction=====
Zograf was a wizard and a professional [[Quidditch]] player who served as a [[Chaser]] for the [[Bulgarian National Quidditch Team]]. He played a key role during the final match of the **1994 [[Quidditch World Cup]]** against the [[Irish National Quidditch Team]]. Though a minor character in the series, his performance highlights the high level of international competition and showcases the skills of the Bulgarian team beyond their star [[Seeker]], [[Viktor Krum]].
=====Biography=====
Zograf's only known appearance in the chronicles of the [[Second Wizarding War]] era is as a member of the Bulgarian team during the 1994 [[Quidditch World Cup]].
=====1994 Quidditch World Cup=====
Zograf played as a [[Chaser]] alongside his teammates [[Dimitrov]] and [[Ivanova]]. During the final match against [[Ireland]], Zograf demonstrated considerable skill and agility. He successfully scored the first goal for [[Bulgaria]], skillfully evading the Irish [[Chaser]]s [[Moran]] and [[Quigley]] to level the score at ten-all early in the game.
Despite his and his teammates' efforts, including a spectacular display of flying from [[Viktor Krum]], the Bulgarian team ultimately lost the match. [[Krum]] caught the [[Golden Snitch]] to end the game on his own terms, resulting in a final score of 170-160 in [[Ireland]]'s favour. Zograf shared in this defeat with the rest of his team.
