I'm going through 3.13 Food and Diet. Of note is 3.13.2 Chocolate 
Frog Cards. While the chocolate frogs are food, the cards are not. 
None of the many, many posts have anything to do with food. Well, one 
does, but only indirectly.

Two posts have to do with the magical qualities of pictures and 
photographs and both are coded to that heading as well as to 3.13.2.

Ten have to do with the wizards or witches who can be found on the 
cards. At this point only three or four individuals are named. A 
couple are also coded to the appropriate witch/wizard under the 
historical wizard section, but not everyone has their own code...nor 
do they need one.

I'm not sure how much more discussion of the cards will happen when 
we get into OoP. With the new activity of Headmaster portraits, new 
ideas about the cards might come up.

In the distant future of coding, there will be posts about the Wizard 
of the Month from JKR's site. No doubt in the same avalanche of 
numbers as we have in this heading now.

My recommendation is to make a slight change in 3.7.8 Photographs and 
Portraits so that it includes posts about the magical nature of 
pictures on the frog cards. That can be in the name or the 
definition. These posts are already coded there anyway.

Then, move Choclolate Frog Cards into the 2.12 Historical Wizarding 
Characters as 2.12.7 Characters from cards and calendar. This section 
would be for discussions about witches and wizards who appeared on 
cards/calendar but who do not merit their own heading.

Oh, was 15, now 12.
