This boy slew the giant mercenary Goliath using only a catapult during the war between the Israelites and Philistines in Biblical times.

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.
