In the folklore of [[Germany]] and [[Scandinavia]], dwarfs are a race of small supernatural beings who are known to be good with the axe and usually use axes to guard magnificent treasures buried deep inside the earth for who ever is ruling over them, usually a queen. They usually look like small men with large heads, wizened faces, wearing animal (usually a sort of goat) masks, long gray beards, weapons as big as themselves, and misshapen legs and feet.

Dwarfs are a short stocky people, little is known about them. On Valentine's Day in 1993, 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. In 1993 Harry also spotted a few raucous dwarfs in the Leaky Cauldron.
