Dwarfs are a short stocky people, little is known about them. On Valentine's Day in 1992[HP2]~-start-6-stop~-start-3-stop, Hogwarts professor Gilderoy Lockhart, had a whole squad of Dwarfs dressed up as cupids deliver singing valentines around the school, one of which was delivered to Harry Potter from Ginny Weasley. The dwarf sat forced to sit on his lap and sang his Valentine Card. In 1993[HP3]~-start-13-stop~-start-10-stop Harry spotted a few raucous dwarfs in the Leaky Cauldron.
