Chocolate Frog

Chocolate Frogs are a popular confection that are sold on the Hogwarts Express food trolley. They are packaged with collectable cards portraying famous wizards and witches. Many of the pupils at Hogwarts collect and swap the cards.

The Chocolate Frogs are practically alive, hopping about, and you have to eat them quick before they get away.

When Harry was in the Hogwarts infirmary after his skirmish with Professor Quirrell and Voldemort in 1992, he received many treats from his admirers. Whilst Harry was unconcious, someone consumed all of the chocolate frogs. During his bedside visit, Dumbledore posited that Ron Weasley had done it, so Harry could have the cards without going to the trouble of eating the frogs.

The chocolate frog collectable cards played an important role in Harry, Ron, and Hermione's first year at Hogwarts, as Dumbledore's card enabled them to ascertain the identity of Nicolas Flamel.
