Biography

During the 1985–1986 school year, Dennis was one of the pets that were kidnapped by Todd and Corrine Cribb. They were eventually rescued by Jacob's sibling and Merula Snyde.

During the 1986–1987 school year, Dennis was present when Jacob's sibling arrived to the Transfiguration Classroom with a friend, trying to talk to Tulip Karasu for the first time. Tulip claimed to be busy and told the newcomers to instead talk to Dennis, who had a Dungbomb strapped on his back. This prompted them to work on defusing the Dungbomb on Dennis before Tulip was ready to talk.

After an announcement of a Frog Choir audition made by Professor Filius Flitwick, Tulip met with Jacob's sibling and expressed Dennis' interest in joining the Frog Choir. Due to Tulip herself being a terrible singer, she wanted Jacob's sibling to take Dennis with them to the Frog Choir audition. Jacob's sibling agreed to do so and bonded with Dennis over several events, one of which was playing tricks on Madam Irma Pince. Jacob's sibling then took Dennis to practise with the Weird Sisters and to sing in front of Professor Severus Snape to test their nerves.

During the Hogsmeade Festival, Tulip and Dennis went to see the fireworks. However Dennis didn't like the fireworks, so he ran off and hid in Madam Puddifoot's teapot. Jacob's sibling found him when they were searching for the teapot at the request of Madam Puddifoot.

During the 1988–1989 school year, Dennis took part in a race between a group of Hogwarts students' pets on the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch after Jacob's sibling invited Tulip to participate. During the race, Dennis initially moved forward, but he eventually turned around and started moving in the wrong direction after he started to follow Sir Ribbithe, who had been distracted by a Glow Bug, thus losing the race.

Behind the scenes

• In Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, despite being first identified as a toad by Tulip in Year 3 Chapter 5, in Year 4, during Care of Magical Creatures, Liz Tuttle referred to him as a frog, saying that he fancied Fang.
