Changes: Chocolate Frog Card

Revision as of 17:10, 7 April 2014

Chocolate Frog card of Herpo the Foul.

"Considered by many to be the greatest wizard of modern times, Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the Dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, for the discovery of the twelve uses of Dragon's blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner, Nicolas Flamel. Professor Dumbledore enjoys chamber music and tenpin bowling."

— Albus Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog Card^[src]

Chocolate Frog Cards (also known as Famous Wizard / Witches Cards) are trading cards that contain the pictures and information on many different wizards and witches on them. The Cards are obtained by buying Chocolate Frogs. Each pack contains a random card inserted into the packet.

Overview

Chocolate frog card dumbledore — Harry Potter examines his very first **Chocolate Frog Card** given to him by Ron Weasley. Albus Dumbledore appears on the front.

Students at Hogwarts collect and trade the cards. Hannah Abbott and Ernie Macmillan were swapping cards in the Great Hall. Harry, Ginny, and Neville were trading them on the Hogwarts Express. Neville Longbottom, however, was not a collector, as when Harry gave him a Chocolate Frog, he gave the card to Harry. Notices about who wants which card even appear on the Gryffindor notice-board, in the common room. There are over 101 known cards total.

History

It is unknown when the idea for Chocolate Frog cards was conceived, or who was the first wizard ever to be put on one.

When Albus Dumbledore was being discredited by the Ministry of Magic, he was removed from the Wizengamot and from the International Confederation of Wizards. He told Bill Weasley that he didn't care what they did to him, as long as they didn't take him off Chocolate Frog cards. At the end of the 1995-1996 school year, Ronald Weasley received a number of Chocolate Frogs from his brothers Fred and George and propped one of Dumbledore against his water jug, suggesting perhaps that either Dumbledore had not been taken off the cards, or if he had been, was swiftly reinstated following the recent revelations regarding Lord Voldemort.^[1]

Chocolate frog cards on Pottermore

Behind the scenes

The appearance of Chocolate Frog Cards varies throughout the series. In the films, they are pentagonal and always dark blue or purple, a design also used in most other adaptations, such as the video games and most real-life versions of the cards. On Pottermore, however, the cards are shaped more like traditional trading cards, and each unique card is a different colour.
The first Chocolate Frog card seen in the series was Albus Dumbledore's. Harry Potter received it on his first trip to Hogwarts, and it later provided a vital clue as to the identity of Nicolas Flamel and the truth about the Philosopher's Stone. Dumbledore's card also provides a vital clue in the seventh book, when Grindelwald, who was first mentioned in the first book, and his relationship to Dumbledore is explained in detail.
During his first trip to Hogwarts, Ron Weasley tells Harry Potter the only cards he does not have are Cornelius Agrippa's and Ptolemy's.
101 different cards can be collected and examined over the course of the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets video game for Gamecube/PS2/Xbox, through purchase from Fred and George with Bertie Bott's beans; trading doubles with other students; discovering them in chests hidden throughout Hogwarts and other places in the wizarding world, some of which need to be unlocked with varying spells; receiving them as rewards for finding and returning lost property; and winning them in games and races with other students.
J.K. Rowling has stated that as both Albus Dumbledore and Ronald Weasley are on Chocolate frog cards, they both consider it their greatest achievement.

Chocolate Frog Cards of Rowena Ravenclaw & Helga Hufflepuff from "The Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter"
J. K. Rowling wrote all 101 Famous Witches And Wizards Cards herself for EA Games, and as such, they can be considered canon and shed a significant amount of light on the history of the wizarding world.^[2] Having said that, a few elements remain contradictory, notably Adalbert Waffling's listed 1899 birthdate, which was overridden in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by his already-established notoriety and correspondence with the student-age Dumbledore in the 1890s.
Although modern wizards such as Bertie Bott, Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter appear on cards, as do historical dark wizards such as Herpo the Foul and Merwyn the Malicious, modern dark wizards Gellert Grindelwald and Lord Voldemort do not. In the case of the latter two, it could be that the authors of the cards were aware of how offensive such cards would have been.
In Pottermore, users can collect cards throughout each chapter.
In the video games, certain combinations of cards are required to cast spells such as the Tempest Jinx.
In the video games, these are often stored in various Folios such as the Folio Magi or the Folio Triplicus. The Folio Brevis was also intended as one such Folio, but was cut.
In the Chamber of Secrets PC game, once all Silver wizarding cards are collected, then a chamber can be unlocked which allows Harry to collect all of the Gold wizarding cards (one of which is of Harry himself).
Prior to the appearance of Kingsley Shacklebolt using his Patronus for communication in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, there was a fan theory that members of the Order of the Phoenix used Chocolate Frog Cards as a secret means of communication. Though incorrect, the theory gained enough popular traction for J. K. Rowling to address it in the Rumours section of her official website. She stated that it was such a great idea that she was of two minds about whether to shoot it down, but noted that any object that could be carried on the person would be vulnerable to loss, destruction, or trickery.^[3] Notably, this same sort of issue was a flaw of the fake Galleons used by Dumbledore's Army. As most members did not continue carry the coins after the end of the 1995-1996 school year, only Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood answered the call when the coins were activated prior to the Battle of the Astronomy Tower on 30 June 1997.^[4]

+*In Pottermore, users can collect cards throughout each chapter.
 *In the video games, certain combinations of cards are required to cast [[spell]]s such as the [[Tempest Jinx]].
 *In the video games, these are often stored in various Folios such as the [[Folio Magi]] or the [[Folio Triplicus]]. The [[Folio Brevis]] was also intended as one such Folio, but was cut.
+*In the [[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (video game)|''Chamber of Secrets'' PC game]], once all Silver wizarding cards are collected, then a chamber can be unlocked which allows Harry to collect all of the Gold wizarding cards (one of which is of Harry himself).
+*Prior to the appearance of [[Kingsley Shacklebolt]] using his [[Patronus]] for communication in ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'', there was a fan theory that members of the [[Order of the Phoenix]] used Chocolate Frog Cards as a secret means of communication. Though incorrect, the theory gained enough popular traction for J. K. Rowling to address it in the Rumours section of her official website. She stated that it was such a great idea that she was of two minds about whether to shoot it down, but noted that any object that could be carried on the person would be vulnerable to loss, destruction, or trickery.<ref name="rumours">[http://web.archive.org/web/20110623030530/http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/rumours_view.cfm?id=26 J. K. Rowling Official Site - Rumours]</ref> Notably, this same sort of issue was a flaw of the [[Dumbledore's Army coin|fake Galleons]] used by [[Dumbledore's Army]]. As most members did not continue carry the coins after the end of the [[1995-1996 school year]], only [[Neville Longbottom]] and [[Luna Lovegood]] answered the call when the coins were activated prior to the [[Battle of the Astronomy Tower]] on [[30 June]] [[1997]].<ref name="HBP30">''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]'' - Chapter 30 (''The White Tomb'')</ref>
