Harry Potter and a Chocolate Frog Cards

"Chocolate Frogs have cards, inside them, you know, to collect - famous witches and wizards. I've got about five hundred, but I haven't got Agrippa or Ptolemy.""
Ron Weasley

Chocolate Frog Cards, or Famous Witches and Wizards Cards, are collectible trading cards. They have moving pictures and a small piece of information about a witch or wizard. The card is put in a Chocolate Frog box and are random and unknown until opened. They are very popular.[1] They first appear in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

About[]

The cards are loved by children and are popular to collect. They have a small moving picture of a witch or wizard and a short piece of information about them. The picture does not stay visible for every second of the day. In place of it is a blank space where they should be until they reappear.[1]

History[]

In September 1991, Ron Weasley introduced Harry Potter to them. Ron owned about 500 cards by then and only had two he still had to find.[1] In 1992, Harry gave Neville Longbottom a Chocolate Frog to eat to cheer him up. He knew that Harry collected the cards and gave him the Albus Dumbledore card in that box. Even though Harry had collected Dumbledore's card, it caused him to remember where he had heard of Nicolas Flamel before: Dumbledore's card stated that they were alchemy partners.[2]
