History
Polonius "Boomer" Snagley. Graduated class of 1994, Slytherin. Best friends with Marcus Flint. Older brother of Tobias Snagley.
Polonius' career began as a beater during his Hogwarts years on the Slytherin team. He was recruited by the Tutshill Tornadoes for the 94-95 year. Played second string when the team was accused of cheating. Snagley was traded to the Ballycastle Bats for the 95-96 season. Currently, Snagley continues to play beater for the bats and has been on the National Team for the Quidditch world cup for the past 8 years with his classmate and best friend, Marcus.
As an athlete, he is known for his physical playing and brutish behavior on the pitch. He routinely fouls other players and has been responsible for quite a few injuries. While he is mostly known for this aggressive playing style, what really distinguishes him from the other players is every time he lands a hit on a quaffle, he yells "BOOM!" which is how he got his nickname, Boomer. He has been doing this since he made the Slytherin team in his third year. It has creeped into other aspects of his life and essentially has become his catchphrase.
Off the pitch, Boomer is known for being exceptionally good looking, but less than intelligent. His success on the pitch has led to his endorsement of several products (Including Unicorn Springs Artisinal Water and Silverleaf brooms). He has done billboards in Wizarding London with Augustine Fortescue and various wireless campaigns. He is well known for dating various high profile witches and though he does not refer to himself as a player, he considers himself a highly in-demand wizard. He has been seen in public with both Primrose Woolfolk (only once) and Amaryllis Woolfolk (considerably more, due to her endlessly agreeable nature and difficulty saying no). After their billboard campaign, he has also been seen with Augustine Fortescue.
Through this media exposure, it became clear that while he is a great athlete he is not a great scholar. Boomer is endlessly entertaining in his interviews. Wireless anchors are routinely dumbfounded by his responses in interviews and while he tends to answer seriously, there are often no responses to his sound bites. There is one interview on record where he said something so ridiculous that the anchors laughed on-air for 8 minutes straight. See the below list of all of his best quotes from wireless and magazine interviews.
