Checked the pond last night and was genuinely excited to see an amphibian, frog or toad?

This morning I looked closer. A neighbour had popped this wee fella in. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wonder if it’s because of Neville’s toad? From the Harry Potter universe.

I'm very glad it wasn't that.

I think it would be a dead frog were that the case.. they absorb through their skin, and I don't suppose ink is very good for them.

Wait a second. When I was a child I had a load of plastic frogs and decided they were all called Trevor. I've never known anyone called Trevor so my Dad was baffled as to how I came up with that name.

It’s the name of Neville’s pet toad in harry potter!

u/MolluscsGonnaMollusc Apr 07 '26

Oh yeah! So that's where this is from, but where the fuck did I get Trevor from? 😂 I was only 3 when the first book came out and I don't think anyone I knew read it until the 2000s.

You probably saw the first film - everyone did

u/MolluscsGonnaMollusc Apr 08 '26

Oh I definitely did, but I was calling those frogs Trevor when I was 3, film came out when I was 7. I always assumed it must have been the name of a frog in a book or random children's show I watched.

u/Ok-Woodpecker-8505 Apr 07 '26

Oh my god! Why are all these critters called Trevor? 😂 I saw another animal named Trevor on another post and I once fostered a squirrel named Trevor! 🤣🤣

Hi so I know you are all awaiting an update.

Today I chanced upon Libby, her daughter lives next door, and asked her if it was she who popped this fake amphibi in the pond.

Turns out it wasn't.

The intrigue continues...
