A Captain, or Quidditch Captain at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was a student and member of a House Quidditch Team who was appointed to be in charge of the House Quidditch Team in which he or she was in.
Head of Houses appoint one member of their House Quidditch Team to be the Captain. It is unknown whether there is an age requirement for choosing Captains (as Prefects are chosen only from the fifth year students of each house), but as Harry Potter was appointed Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team in his Sixth Year, and Oliver Wood was appointed Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team in his Fifth Year, an age requirement might not have existed. However, it is possible that Quidditch Captains are only chosen from House Quidditch Team members who are Fifth Year students (or possibly Fourth, Third, or Second Year) or older. Only one Quidditch Captain exists in a House at a time (Unlike Prefects, as one boy and one girl are chosen from the Fifth Year, and remain as Prefects in their Sixth and Seventh Year, there are approximately six Prefects per house).
Like Prefects, Captains are given a silver badge to wear on their school uniform, and on their Quidditch Robes when they are playing in a match or practicing. However, a Prefect in the Quidditch Team would not be required to wear his or her Prefect badge on his or her Quidditch Robes when playing or practicing Quidditch. The Captain's badge is suspected to have the letter 'C' on it for 'Captain', as the Prefect's badge has 'P' for 'Prefect', and the Head Boy's and Head Girl's have 'HB' and 'HG' respectively.
Role
Captains are required to organise and plan training sessions for their House Teams, and are also responsible for almost anything regarding their House Team activities and members.
- "That gives you equal status with Prefects! You can use our special bathroom now and everything!"
- — Hermione Granger to Harry Potter when he was made Captain[src]
Captains are also given equal status as Prefects, and are also allowed to use Prefect bathrooms and other things. However, unlike Prefects, Captains are not allowed to dock points.
