 [Page 111] On the back of a chocolate frog card, it says:

Awepuhi Tāmaratoa, te Tumuaki o Hōwata i tēnei wā. E kīia ana te tomomaha ko ia te kirimatarau toa katoa o ēnei wā, e tino rongonui nei a Ahorangi Tāmaratoa i mīere rā i a ia te kirimatahuna, a Kiriwao, i te tau 1945, i tana tūhura hoki i ngā whakamahinga tekau mā rua i ngā toto mokoahi me tana mahi toiwhitiiho i te taha o tōna hoa pātui, o Nikora Wharamēra. He pārekareka ki a Ahorangi Tāmaratoa te taka puoro me te poi tumu-ngahuru.

I have highlighted the words that are completely new to me. The rest I have a handle on.

Google translate does not do as well. First, it 'recognizes' te reo as Albanian! Then, when you point it in the right direction, it yields:

Awepuhi Salvador, Director of Emergency at this time. The heavyweight says he's the all-time winner of the 2016-17 season, is best known as Professor Demaratoa in late 1945, when he was 18 years old, and in 1945, when he investigated the use of twelve white blood dinosaurs and his mummified his fellow chicks, of Nicolas Wharamra. It's fantastic with Professor Salvador's fall music and a tor-to-be movie.
