Troy

Troy was a wizard and a professional Quidditch player who held the position of Chaser for the Irish National Quidditch Team. He was a key member of the squad that competed in and won the Quidditch World Cup of 1994. Troy is notable for scoring the very first goal of the final match against the Bulgarian National Quidditch Team, setting the tone for Ireland's aggressive offensive strategy.

The majority of what is known about Troy comes from his participation in the 422nd Quidditch World Cup final in the summer of 1994, which was attended by Harry Potter, the Weasley family, and Hermione Granger. As one of the three Chasers for the Irish National Quidditch Team, alongside Moran and Quigley, Troy played a crucial role in the final match. At the very start of the game, he seized the Quaffle and swiftly flew past the Bulgarian Chasers, scoring the first goal and giving Ireland a ten-point lead. His performance was noted in the enthusiastic commentary provided by Ludo Bagman. The Irish Chasers, including Troy, were described as a “marvel of coordination and skill,” utilizing famous moves like the Hawkshead Attacking Formation. Despite the Bulgarian Seeker, Viktor Krum, catching the Golden Snitch, Ireland's dominant scoring, initiated by Troy, secured their victory with a final score of 170 to 160.

The novels provide no description of Troy's physical appearance or his personality. He is only identified by his surname and his actions on the Quidditch pitch.

• Quidditch Proficiency: Troy was a world-class Quidditch player, possessing exceptional flying skills and scoring prowess as a Chaser. His ability to score the first goal in a high-pressure Quidditch World Cup final demonstrates his speed, agility, and offensive talent. He was an integral part of the team's highly effective offensive line.

• Quidditch Uniform: Troy wore the green robes of the Irish National Quidditch Team, which featured a shamrock on the chest.
• Racing Broomstick: As a professional player competing at an international level, he would have owned a state-of-the-art racing broomstick, although the specific model is not mentioned in the text.
• Wand: As a wizard, Troy would have owned a wand, though no details about it are known.

• Teammates: Troy played alongside his fellow Chasers Moran and Quigley, Seeker Aidan Lynch, Beaters Connolly and Ryan, and Keeper Mullet. Their coordinated plays during the final indicated a strong and well-practiced team dynamic.
• Opponents: His primary opponents in the final match were the members of the Bulgarian National Quidditch Team, including Viktor Krum, Dimitrov, Ivanova, Levski, Volkov, Vulchanov, and Zograf.

The surname Troy is a common Irish name, often an anglicized form of the Gaelic Ó Troighthigh, which means “descendant of the foot soldier.” This surname connects him directly to Ireland. Additionally, the name evokes the ancient city of Troy from Greek mythology, famous for the epic Trojan War, perhaps alluding to the “battle” of the Quidditch World Cup final.

In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the character of Troy is played by actor Robert Wilfort (film). He is seen during the Quidditch World Cup sequences as part of the Irish team.
