ANSWER: Chocolate Frog cards

2) According to J. K. Rowling, Professor Flitwick’s short stature may have risen from distant ancestry with one of these people. Though they are now defined as “beings”, according to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them their classification has sparked much controversy in the past.
