Considering Harry Potter's fame, did he end up on a Famous Witches and Wizards card, possibly after the Battle of Hogwarts, or even before?

    In most HP video games, HP has his own card: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Famous_Witches_and_Wizards_Cards – Elmo Oct 08 '15 at 13:29

Yes

HP Lexicon says that:

Rowling says that Harry, Ron and Hermione were all featured on Chocolate Frog cards

This is the excerpt from the relevant interview in 2007:

Lecanard: Will we see harry and his friends having their own history on chocolate frogs cards

J.K. Rowling: Definitely, and Ron will describe this as his finest hour.

As a side note, out of canon according to this article there was a Harry Potter card in some video games.

    @DavidS the difference is that Dumbledore is just being modest. Ron really has nothing better to brag about. – Kevin Oct 08 '15 at 16:24

    @Kevin Depends how you read Dumbledore's character - I think he genuinely considered it one of his highest honours. And Ron has nothing else? To date he has: helped stop Voldemort from getting the Philosophers Stone, helped save the school from the Heir of Slytherin, been prefect, helped stop Death Eaters getting the prophecy, destroyed one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, was instrumental in the Battle Of Hogwarts (basilisk fangs) AND married the smartest (and it is implied, one of the prettiest) girl in his year. He's got plenty of fine hours, he just puts himself down a lot. – DavidS Oct 09 '15 at 09:04

    @DavidS "Headmaster Weasley" - That does have a rather fitting ring to it, don't you think? I can see Ron following in ol' Dumbley's footsteps. – RSmith Oct 09 '15 at 19:55

    @kaine Good catch ;) – DavidS Oct 12 '15 at 08:41
  • The cards in the video games were written by Rowling. – ibid Feb 17 '16 at 20:50

Rowling says that Harry, Ron and Hermione were all featured on Chocolate Frog cards (BLC).

HP-Lexicon: Famous Wizard Cards

Trying to find a better source - where she said it. EDIT: See @N_Soong's answer.
