I was going to block off a door with plaster board. A friend told me he used plywood instead and then it was plastered.
I was thinking of plasterboard but am thinking plywood may be less messy to work with.

Can you use plywood instead?

12.5mm plasterboard, tape the joints and then plaster......to do it properly.
 
I don’t see how using plywood is going to be less messy & it’s certainly a lot more difficult to cut; saw as opposed to Stanley knife = no contest & you can’t plaster ply wood unless it’s well sealed first or the plaster will just crack & fall off. As already said do it properly stud out the door opening & use 12mm plasterboard.
