"Are you a wizard, or what?"

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is a conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.

This individual (fl. biblical times) was an Israelite who slew the giant mercenary Goliath with his slingshot when he was just a young boy. The events surrounding this were recorded in the Bible, a book that Albus Dumbledore kept in his office during his tenure as Headmaster.

Behind the scenes

In the book 1 Samuel of the Old Testament, King David slays the giant Goliath with a slingshot as a child, but the Chocolate Frog Card for Goliath only refers to the giant's slayer as a "young boy" and does not explicitly name David. It is thus possible that Goliath was not slain by David in the Harry Potter universe.
