Dimitrov

Dimitrov was a professional Quidditch player who held the position of Chaser for the Bulgarian National Quidditch team. He played in the final of the 422nd Quidditch World Cup against the Irish National Quidditch team in 1994. As part of Bulgaria's skilled Chaser lineup, he was noted for his speed and scoring ability, contributing to the spectacle of one of the most famous Quidditch matches in modern history.

Dimitrov's only known appearance in wizarding history is during the 1994 Quidditch World Cup final. He, along with his fellow Chasers Ivanova and Levski, formed a formidable offensive line for the Bulgarian team. In the opening moments of the match, as detailed in the commentary by Ludo Bagman, Dimitrov was instrumental in Bulgaria's initial push. He successfully scored the very first goal of the game against the Irish Keeper, Ryan, putting Bulgaria ahead 10-0. Throughout the match, he was frequently in possession of the Quaffle and was involved in several scoring attempts and fast-paced plays, often working in close coordination with Ivanova and Levski. Despite his and his teammates' efforts, and Viktor Krum's capture of the Golden Snitch, the Bulgarian team ultimately lost the match to Ireland with a final score of 170-160.

The novels provide no information regarding Dimitrov's physical appearance or his personality traits. His character is defined entirely by his actions on the Quidditch pitch.

Dimitrov's known relationships are with his teammates on the Bulgarian National Quidditch team. He was a key part of the Chaser line alongside Ivanova and Levski. The other members of the 1994 team included Viktor Krum (Seeker), Zograf (Keeper), and Beaters Volkov and Vulkanov. He demonstrated effective on-pitch synergy with his fellow Chasers, executing complex plays against the Irish team.

The surname “Dimitrov” is a common Bulgarian and Slavic patronymic name, meaning “son of Dimitar.” The name Dimitar is the Slavic equivalent of the Greek name Demetrius, which translates to “follower of Demeter.” In Greek mythology, Demeter was the goddess of the harvest and agriculture.

In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the Quidditch World Cup final is shown only in brief clips. Individual plays and players like Dimitrov are not specifically named or highlighted in the commentary as they are in the novel, and his role is consequently omitted (film).
