Carlos Clodoaldo is a Beater for Brazil’s National Team in at the Quidditch World Cup in 2014.
A participant in the 2014 tournament alongside fellow Beater Rafael Santos, Clodoaldo helped secure Brazil’s victory in their hard-fought two day semi-final against the Americans with a “precision-hit Bludger” directed at Seeker Darius Smackhammer (Pm).
In their earlier matches at the tournament, his team won their initial match against a team from Haiti and a tense quarter-final match against the Welsh National Team. The Brazilian team ultimately lost to Bulgaria in the final by 170 points to 60 (Pm).
