If you are passionate fans of fantastic tales, such as the author of this article, then for you we've got a bombastic news. Some bloke, reportedly accidentally, discovered the names of four homes of North American schools for wizards.

By this incredible discovery he came when he ran into the source code on the page, J. K. Rowling Pottermore. The code referred to the of the online classification event of the houses of the American school of witchcraft Ilvermorny that should happen soon.

Administrator of the Pottermore website page in his official statement gave no decisive answer - which would, of course, could mean that they are accurate.

Ilvermorny, the American School of Wizardry

By the way, the Ilvermorny School was invented by British author for the purpose of filming the spin-off franchise of Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them that in a new film series about American wizards allegedly should have a pretty big role.

But we kept you in suspense enough long. Names of the Houses of the American school of witchcraft are as follows: Horned Snake, Wampus, Thunderbird and the Pukwudgie.

Horned snakes, Wampus, Thunderbird and the Pukwudgie

You will notice that American homes, unlike those at Hogwarts, got their names according to the magical creatures, and not according to familiar wizards and witches.

In addition, the above names are associated with Native American folklore, what brought to the author a lot of criticism because many believe that she in the essay about the History of Magic in North America approached rather stereotypically the Indian communities. But, you are probably more interested in what beings are involved, so lets start by order.

1. Wampus

So, Wampus, if Wikipedia is to be believed, is a typical being of American folklore that is often described as a kind of terrifying variation of cougar (which in turn is kind of puma).

2. Thunderbird

Thunderbird is the legendary creature of certain North American indigenous communities. It is considered to be a supernatural bird of great power and strength. Most commonly it is associated with Pacific Northwest Indian tribes and as relative motif is represented in all the types of their art.

3. Pukwudgie

Pukwudgie the dwarf being (high between 61 and 91 centimeters) is typical for the Wampanoag tribe. Generally they look like normal people with something bigger noses, fingers and ears. Their skin was reportedly smooth and gray, and sometimes may illuminate.

4. Horned snake

Horned serpent appears in the mythologies of many Indian tribes. Details vary from tribe to tribe, but this mystical creature is associated mostly with water, rain, thunders and flashes.
