Arnold Fact File Body Text

[Ginny Weasley](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/ginny-weasley)'s Pygmy Puff, Arnold was brightly coloured, pocket sized and delightfully fluffy. Bought from the Weasley twins' [Diagon Alley](/fact-file/locations/diagon-alley) shop, Arnold accompanied Ginny to [Hogwarts](/fact-file/locations/hogwarts) and enjoyed riding around on her shoulder.

Ginny Weasley Fact File Body Text

The youngest Weasley child and only daughter, Ginny was an accomplished witch and [Quidditch](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/quidditch) player - joining [Gryffindor](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/gryffindor) house alongside her siblings. Ginny might have been a little flustered when she first met [Harry Potter](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/harry-potter) as a young witch, but she soon found her footing at school. The youngest Weasley proved herself a skilled Seeker and Chaser, representing Gryffindor on the house team, but she was just as talented with a wand as she was with a broom, specialising in the Bat-Bogey Hex. She was often by Harry's side as he battled Voldemort during their time at [Hogwarts](/fact-file/locations/hogwarts).

### Hobbies
Looking after [Arnold](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/arnold)

Perfect pets for young witches and wizards, Puffskeins are cute, fluffy and highly resilient to being thrown around or squeezed too tightly. Round with soft, custard coloured fur, Puffskeins have long pink tongues and make a low humming sound when happy. The Weasley twins bred Pygmy Puffs, a new multicoloured breed that became incredibly popular. [Ginny Weasley](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/ginny-weasley) even came home with one that she named [Arnold](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/arnold).

Ministry of Magic classifications  Fact File Body Text

Within [the Ministry of Magic](/fact-file/locations/the-ministry-of-magic), the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures created a system of rules to determine whether a magical creature was a "beast or being" and also gave each creature a classification in terms of how dangerous it was - or not! The rating was measured with "X" being the least dangerous and "XXXXX" being the most dangerous. So, a Flobberworm, for example, would be rated X, while something far more scary, such as a [Chinese Fireball](/fact-file/creatures/chinese-fireball) dragon, would be XXXXX.
