The Misprinted Wendolyn card was a considerably rare misprinted Chocolate Frog Card of Wendelin the Weird. It listed that she had herself burned at the stake 118 times, instead of the correct 47.[1]
The misprint[]
- "Wendolyn the Weird liked burning at the stake so much she arranged to be lit up 118 times."
- — Folio Magi[src]
History[]
In 1992, Derek of the Wizard Card Collectors' Club at Hogwarts owned one of these cards. He traded it at the Trading Card Shop with Harry Potter with a Football card. Later, during the 1992–1993 school year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter traded this card to Wendelin the Weird's portrait on the sixth floor, in return for a rare baby spider.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
- According to Harry's copy of A History of Magic in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Wendelin was burned at least 47 times.[2] However, according to her card in the video games, it states she was burned 118 times, making this a real life case of a misprinting of Wendelin the Weird's card. The Timeline of the Wizarding World given on Pottermore reinforces that Wendelin was burned exactly 47 times.
