The Harry Potter card list in the books

Only ten cards in this Harry Potter card list are actually named in the novels, and most of them arrive in a single scene. On the Hogwarts Express in Philosopher’s Stone, Harry buys the entire sweet trolley and opens his first Chocolate Frog, which contains Albus Dumbledore. Ron then explains the hobby, and by the end of the chapter Harry also owns Morgana, Hengist of Woodcroft, Alberic Grunnion, Circe, Paracelsus, Merlin and Cliodna. Ron, meanwhile, is still hunting for Agrippa and Ptolemy after roughly five hundred cards.

These ten sit at the top of any Harry Potter card list because they are the only ones J.K. Rowling put directly into the story. Dumbledore’s card matters again much later, too: in Deathly Hallows it is how Harry is reminded of the Hog’s Head barman, and the cards are described as vanishing whenever the subject wanders off the picture.

The Harry Potter card list in the games

The rest of the set comes from the Electronic Arts video games. The PC version of Chamber of Secrets hides 101 Wizard Cards around Hogwarts — 50 bronze, 40 silver and 11 gold — and every ten bronze cards you find adds a bar to Harry’s health. Rowling wrote the card text herself, which is why this part of the Harry Potter card list counts as canon rather than merchandise.

Prisoner of Azkaban then expanded things considerably. Alongside three new wizards it introduced whole new series: famous vampires, goblins, hags and giants, plus a pair of Quidditch cards. Consequently the game is where most of the wizarding world’s stranger corners — a hag with a chicken-legged hut, a vampire who sings before biting — were first written down. If you want to see the cards in motion, our Harry Potter game list covers every title in the series.

The Harry Potter card list in the films

The films use the cards as props rather than as a collection. In Philosopher’s Stone Harry opens a Chocolate Frog on the train, the frog escapes out of the window, and Dumbledore’s portrait is left on the card — until he strolls out of frame. Because the prop department only ever needed a handful of designs, there is no separate film set to catalogue; the film cards simply reuse names from the Harry Potter card list above.

Frequently asked questions about the Harry Potter card list

How many cards are in the Harry Potter card list?

This Harry Potter card list holds 127 documented cards. The core game set is the 101 found in Chamber of Secrets, and the remainder were added by Prisoner of Azkaban across its wizard, Quidditch, vampire, goblin, hag and giant series.

Which cards in the Harry Potter card list appear in the books?

Ten: Dumbledore, Morgana, Hengist of Woodcroft, Alberic Grunnion, Circe, Paracelsus, Merlin, Cliodna, Agrippa and Ptolemy. Filter the Harry Potter card list by In the books to see just those.

Are the Wizards of the Coast trading cards included?

No. The Harry Potter Trading Card Game released by Wizards of the Coast in 2001 is a separate product and is not considered canon, so it sits outside this Harry Potter card list. The same goes for the photo cards sold as film souvenirs.

What is the rarest card in the Harry Potter card list?

In the Chamber of Secrets game the eleven gold cards are the hardest to get, and the Harry Potter card itself is the last one in the whole Harry Potter card list: you only receive it after collecting the other hundred and showing them to Dumbledore. In the books, though, Ron would tell you Agrippa is the real prize.

If you enjoyed this Harry Potter card list, you may also like our Harry Potter characters list, the wizarding candy list where the Chocolate Frogs themselves live, and the complete wands list. For the original card texts and their sources, the Harry Potter Lexicon keeps a detailed archive.
