Arnold was Ginny Weasley's purple Pygmy Puff, or miniature Puffskein, purchased from Ginny's brothers Fred and George Weasley at their shop in August of 1996. Arnold enjoyed playing in front of the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room at Hogwarts. It is likely that he was taken with the Weasleys when the family went into hiding in the spring of 1998.

Ginny's father, Arthur Weasley, was mistakenly called "Arnold Weasley" in a 1994 Daily Prophet article written by Rita Skeeter. "Arnold" is also an anagram of "Ronald", a possible reference to Ginny's youngest brother.
