Analysis
Pygmy Puffs are actually rather curious examples of Fred and George's entrepreneurship. The Puffskein, from which the Pygmy Puff is apparently derived, is apparently a reasonably common Wizarding pet. The pygmy puff, a version unique to Fred and George, is made miniature and pastel shaded by some artifice of theirs, and seems designed for tween and teen girls.
