Memorabilia:
Charmed Golden Snitch: When he was nine years old, when Puddlemere won a tournament and their notable mini fan was there for every match for that journey. He became a familiar face at the grounds. His favourite player Wayne Howard gifted him the snitch from the game though he charmed it so it would never leave the young boy’s side when free. Will still has the snitch which he often carries around with him. He’s tweaked some of the charms to make the snitch more obedient to him but it’s more of a shared love he has with this fluttering golden orb. You’ll be pushed to separate him from it.
Puddlemere Singed Quaffle: Will was fifteen when he was gifted one of the quaffles autographed by the whole team. His devotion over the years didn’t go unnoticed and it’s currently sat in a glass case at home, in his bedroom. Will takes great pride in it.
