haroos:
do elves and gnomes and dwarves get a representation anywhere ?
are they of the fae ? or are they existing in the world in some way ? was there ever a mention of them by jb ?

Magnus:
If I remember correctly it was either in small favor or summer knight that Harry was chased by elves from Summer that had bow and arrows.

Rasins:
Also, Elves with Bows and Arrows were present when Harry met Lily in the Chicago Aboritium.

nedserD C B yrraH:
I haven't noticed any obvious high fantasy Elves or Dwarves. That may be a later reveal. Or the Summer Sidhe could simply be the inspiration. Nymphs, satyrs, centaurs all are Summer. If you mean more like DnD the closest is maybe the Svartalves as Drow.

Quantus:
They are mostly part of the fae by all accounts.  They werent present in SmF (that was the Gruffs, aka goat-people) but in CD they were mentioned both as part of the Winter Birthday Party as well as Lily's group of Summer at the Gardens. 


Tolkien Dwarves were themselves based on the norse Svartalves, which have appeared several times, so you could say those are represented. 

No direct mention of Gnomes in the text, though per wikipedia the term is only 5 centuries old, and "the term gnome became largely synonymous with other terms for "little people" by the 20th century, such as goblin, brownie" so one way to look at them is a broad category of Fae, of which we've seen several examples.
