The American Version of the Hogwarts Houses May Have Leaked

Fans of the Harry Potter series have known for years which of the four Hogwarts houses they belong in, but now they may have something new to debate. 

Updates on J.K. Rowling’s upcoming film, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, have been posted on Rowling’s Pottermore website lately, and one lucky fan thinks he may have discovered the names of the American version of the Hogwarts houses deep within the site. 

Software engineer Ian Cervantez claims that he was simply exploring the site when he came across an unpublished quiz that asked which house fans belonged in. Cervantez posted his findings, including the title of the quiz—”Where do you belong, Horned Serpent, Wampus, Thunderbird, or Pukwudgie?”—on Reddit

Despite the fact that the “reveal” remains to be confirmed by Rowling, fan-run website The Leaky Cauldron confirms that all of the house names correspond to creatures in the Harry Potter universe. 

It is unknown whether or not this information will play a role in the latest film in Rowling’s beloved series. As for now, Potterheads have already begun speculating which house they belong in.
