Pukwudgie was one of the four houses at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in North America.[2] It was named so by No-Maj James Steward, after the Pukwudgie. The Pukwudgie was a fiercely independent magical creature,[3] based on stories he heard from his wife Isolt Sayre about William the Pukwudgie.[1]
Pukwudgie House was sometimes considered to represent the heart of a witch or wizard. It was also said that Pukwudgie favoured healers.[3]
History[]
In 1926, Pukwudgie received 378 House points, the second highest of the four houses, and won the Quidditch Cup and The Gobstone Goblet.[4]

Behind the scenes[]
- The Pukwudgie is a creature that appears in the folklore of various indigenous peoples of North America, notably the Wampanoag.[6][7] It is typically described as two-to-three-feet tall and human-shaped, but with a larger nose, ears, and fingers and smooth, grey skin that sometimes glows, and a thick coat of hair over its head and back similar in appearance to a porcupine[6] Its magical abilities include disappearing and reappearing, partial or complete transformation into a porcupine or cougar, and creating fire.[6]
- While in the Harry Potter universe the Pukwudgie is said to be distantly related to the European goblin,[1] in the real-world, the Pukwudgie is a creature of Indigenous folklore unconnected to European goblin folklore.
- Pukwudgie is the only Ilvermorny house whose namesake creature is not known to produce a wand core.
