It never ceases to amaze us how intrepid and vigilant the Harry Potter fanbase can be. JK Rowling’s wizarding world continues to entrance and delight millions and, with hype levels for Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child rising steadily, we’re finding out more and more about the author’s magical universe.

Now, an interactive quiz on the Pottermore website has revealed the names of the houses in Ilvermorny – the American version of Hogwarts.

An extremely tuned-in software engineer called Ian Cervantez discovered the four houses’ names while playing with the website’s source code.

Cervantez stumbled upon the following: “Where do you belong? Horned Serpent, Wampus, Thunderbird or Pukwudgie…”.

There’s no additional information about the houses or names but the four are all based on creatures from Native American mythology.

Stories associate the mystical figure of the Horned Serpent with water, rain, lightning and/or thunder. Meanwhile, a Wampus is some freakish woman-cat hybrid, bearing a likeness to a cougar, which is prominent in Cherokee mythology. Thunderbird is a supernatural bird of power and strength and ‘of great importance.’ Finally, our personal favourite, the Pukwudgie, is a hedgehog-human hybrid, that has enlarged noses, ears and fingers that apparently have glowing skin.

It’s unclear if these creatures will feature in Fantastic Beasts but Newt Scamander’s howling briefcase is sure to contain an eclectic array of beasts. Fantastic Beasts will be released on November 18, watch our video below detailing why you should be excited for it!
