Chenoo

A **Chenoo** (plural "Chenook"; often misidentified for the similarly dangerous **Yeti** by some wizards and No-Majs) is magical creature closely related to the European Troll, and is known for having similarly low intelligence and brutality. They are known to be native to the northern, more frigid parts of North America, particularly Canada, but have been sighted in the United States as well.

## Behavior and traits

Unlike the Sasquatch, a creature for which it is often confused, the Chenoo is a creature of admittedly low intelligence. They do not live in groups, preferring to lead solitary lives away from their other kind, and meet with other Chenoo only to mate. The female Chenoo raises the young until they are six years old, at which point the young Chenoo can survive on its own, and she abandons her child to resume a solitary life.

Chenoo are known to be exclusively carnivorous, and possess a certain taste for the flesh of humans, though they will eat any meat they can come across. Their propensity for attacking and devouring human beings has led to many legends across both the No-Maj and Wizarding communities, particularly the Native American tribes who know the beast well.

Much like their troll cousins, Chenoo's possess massive strength, capable of ripping tree trunks in half or uprooting trees with minimal effort. However, a capable witch or wizard can dispatch a single Chenoo with a well-placed Stunning Spell; even the Knockback Jinx is known to have favorable results if it collides with the kneecaps, as they are weaker in a Chenoo.

## Trivia

* The Chenoo itself is a beast known to many Native American mythologies. One of the most common legends to surround the creature is that it was originally a human who comitted a horible crime and was cursed by the gods, to be trapped in the body of a troll-like beast.
* There was a rumor during Gwendolyn Jones' time at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that she managed to subjugate three Chenoo's without a wand; this is naturally just a rumor, as an unarmed witch or wizard would be easily killed by a Chenoo.

Elly Kedward

## Elís Abaigeal Kedward

### Also known as

* Elisabeth Abigail Kedward (Chosen name, angelicized version of her birth name)
* Elly Kedward

## Family information

### Family members

* Unnamed Irish witch (Mother)
* Unnamed Irish Muggle (Father)

**Elís Abaigeal Kedward** (b. 1729), later known as **Elly Kedward**, was a half-blood witch who grew up to become quite powerful in the dark arts. The daughter of an Irish witch and a Muggle father, she was orphaned at a young age and briefly raised by an outcast wizard living in the Skibbereen hills in Ireland. When he too died during the Great Frost, and she found herself again an orphan, she was subjected to horrendous treatment, first by the Muggles who imprisoned her at Baconsthore Asylum, and later by the wizarding community when they imprisoned her in Azkaban.

After her escape from Azkaban in 1768, she stole a wand, along with numerous other supplies, and made a six month voyage aboard a sailing vessel to the New World. She arrived in the summer of the following year and made her home at the base of Mount Greylock in what would eventually become the state of Massachusetts. There, she could keep a watchful eye on Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

## Behind the scenes

Elly is both named after and highly based upon the fictional Elly Kedward, who acts as the titular "Blair Witch" in the *Blair Witch* franchise. Some details of her past were changed, however, to fit the author's new narrative: for instance, Elly settled in Massachusetts rather than in Blair, Maryland.

Pukwudgie

"*Named by James Steward, after the fiercely independent magical creature the Pukwudgie; Pukwudgie house is sometimes considered to represent the heart of a witch or wizard. It is also said that Pukwudgie favors healers.*"
―Description of the House of Thunderbird[src]
**Pukwudgie** is one of the four houses at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was founded by James Steward, whom was also a founder of the school itself.
Non-Magical Human

"***Oh, HONESTLY, don't you two read?***"

This article contains terminology invented by the users of this wiki, and is subject to change should new information be released on Pottermore or another official source.
A **Non-Magical Human** is a human who is incapable of performing magic, but is not a Squib. These comprise the majority of the world's citizens, and are typically unaware of the existence of the magical community. There is no true universal term for Non-Magical Humans, as each wizarding community in each country has different terms for them.

## Non-Magical Human terms

### The Commonwealth of Australia

In Australia, Non-Magical Humans were referred to as "Normal" at one point in time, with "Normals" being the plural. However, like the United States of America would later do, the term was corrupted over time to simply "Normie", with the plural being "Normies" or even "Ns" as slang.

### The Federal Republic of Germany

In Germany, the Wizarding community does not use the term "Muggle", but instead adopts the term "Machtlos", which means "powerless" in the German language, among other meanings. "Machtlos" has no plural variant, and can be used to refer to one or more "Machtlos".

### The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

In the United Kingdom, Non-Magical Humans are referred to as a "Muggle", with "Muggles" being the plural. It is unknown when the term "Muggle" first came about, but it has been in use by the majority of Wizarding Europe for centuries.

### The United States of America

In the United States, the term "Muggle" is used far less commonly, having been dropped by the descendants of the first English settlers at an unknown point in time. The term "No-Magic" was adopted at an unknown point in American wizarding history, and was eventually corrupted into "No-Maj", which is now the common vernacular. "No-Majs" or "No-Majes" is the known plural.

### The United Mexican States

In Mexico, the term for a Non-Magical Human was contracted from the original term "Sin Magia" — literally meaning 'Without Magic' — to "Si-Mag". The plural for this term is "Si-Mages". It is notably similarly to the term used in the United States of America, and this is possibly due to both countries eventually coming to share the same school.
Movers

**Movers** is a term used to refer to comics in the Wizarding world. The term comic is still used, though is less widespread.

## History

Initially far more popular in the No-Maj world, a No-Maj born wizard by the name of Walter Provasi sought to bring such entertainment into the public forefront of the Wizarding community. He could go on to make extensive use of the developing solution that wizards use when developing pictures that allow them to move, and put to practical use in the creation of "Movers"; wizarding comics that occupy far less pages than a traditional Muggle comic, and show an entire strip complete with motions on a perpetual loop.

Their popularity exploded among wizards in the United States, and when a half-blood wizard from Britain visited the United States in the late 1950s, he took the concept with him back Europe, where "Movers" have enjoyed a more lukewarm reception.

The concept would later be spread across the Wizarding world, making it to countries such as Japan as well, where it would be applied to make *manga* that was available for witches and wizards to purchase and enjoy. Notably, certain No-Maj favorites worldwide have been subjected to being reproduced in the Wizarding world as "Movers", often without the knowledge of the original creator.

Like many objects enhanced with magic, "Movers" are not everlasting, and the magic will eventually wear down, requiring a new "Mover" to be purchased to replace the old one.

## Known 'Movers'

* The Adventures of Martin Miggs, the Mad Muggle

## Trivia

* The term "Movers" mirrors the term "Talkies", which was used in the No-Maj world as a term for motion pictures complete with sound. It also finds its origin in the *Legend of Korra* animated series, of which the author is a fan.
Аура (старaя)

**Аура** - первичное состоянии магии, представляющее собой нечто почти неощутимое и напрямую связанное с материей.

## Основные теории ауры

Проблема в том, что ни витистическая теория ауры, ни девитистическая не способны объяснить весь спектр действий с ней, однако на данный момент люди придерживаются витистической теории, заключающейся в том, что аура является продуктом жизни и создаётся живыми существами. Девитистическая же теория склоняется к тому, что аура происходит в любом атоме и формулы этой теории работают безотказно, однако эта теория не может дать ответ на то, почему аура распределена так неравномерно.

## Конфликтность и комплектность

Было установлено, что ауры больше в тех местах где стихии распределены *более неконфликтно.*

Каждая стихия не конфликтует лишь с тремя другими и отвергает аж четыре. Чем больше конфликтных стихий в одном предмете, тем меньше вероятность того, что он будет излучать ауру. Более того, чем больше конфликтных стихий в одном месте, тем меньше вероятность ауры в самом месте. Это ставит очень много ограничений в выкачивании магии - как бы не создать конфликтность в её среде.

Конфликты могут привадить не только к убыванию ауры, но и также к её *сворачиванию,* представляющему собой поглощение ауры не пустой материей (не стихией). Это может создать *псевдостихии* - более сложные и нестабильные стихии, являющиеся различными комбинациями конфликтных стихий. Известно 32 псевдостихии первого уровня. Что интересно, псевдостихии в связке могут не давать конфликтов даже если их составляющие конфликтуют. Однако в этом направлении мало исследований т.к. многим кажется неправильным доводить ауру до такого состояния.
Alivan's

"*Have your wand made by Alivans.*"
—Alivan's slogan

Alivan's is an American wand shop, specifically within the United States of America. It is run by the Alivan family, and — after the repeal of Rappaport's Law — many young American wizards purchase wands from this shop.

## History

Originally, in the late 1800s, Alivan's started out as an American branch of the Ollivander's wand shop. While it proved popular, communications between the American and British branch proved irksome and often ended in disagreements. By the early 20th century, the then-shopkeeper, Finneas Alivan, eventually cut ties with the Ollivander family, and the production of the Alivan-brand wand began production. This situation proved fortuitous for the young Alivan, as the wandmaker Thiago Quintana had recently died, leaving the American wizarding world ready for a new wandmaker.

Both Ryan Brennan and Douglas Jones purchased their wands from Alivan's.
Lucy Potter

"*What are you? I`m the princess of the Cresent Sun Empire, my name is Lucy Potter. I come from an age of high technological advancements.*"

**Lucy Potter** (b.2967) is a Muggle-born Witch and a member of the Cresent Sun Empire; coming from the future brought to the past by means of an accidental time magic. The daughter of Guinevere Gunther Potter and Haley Jones Draco; she is the legendary hero who stopped the assassination of the Vice Duke of Austria, Isrivel.
Tatoskok

A **tatoskok** is a type of sea serpent creature which inhabits Lake Champlain in the upper-eastern United States. The No-Maj population attributes sightings of such creatures as similar to that of the Loch Ness Monster in distant Scotland, however, in reality, the two species are unrelated.

## History

### Pre-Colonial era

The creatures were well known to the Native Americans, particularly the Iroquois and the Abenaki tribes. It was these tribes who gave the creatures the name "tatoskok."

In 1609, Samuel de Champlain was the first European to have sighted the creatures, but, being a No-Maj, he had no understanding of what they were.
Oliver Cromwell

**Oliver David Cromwell** (b. March 23, 1993) was an American pure-blood wizard and a descendent of the infamous Cromwell family. In his youth, he was considered rebellious by his family for his refusal to accept their archaic views on blood-purity. He later attended Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Thunderbird House. During his tenure at Ilvermorny, he met and became friends with Ryan Brennan, who was a year ahead of him, and quickly developed a romantic interest in the older boy which would define much of his school years.

## Behind the scenes

* Oliver was named after Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England, Ireland, and Scotland during the 1600s.
Yoladewe

"*The Yoladewe is a beautiful magical bird, indistinguishable from the Muggle whooper swan, except for its pure white colouration. What sets this unique and beautiful bird apart is that it is silent for all of its life, and only sings its first — and last — melodious tune before it dies.*"
—Excerpt from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, edition sixty[src]

## Species information

### Native range

* Eurasia
* Greece

### Status

Extant

The **Yoladewe** is a beautiful, pure-white magical bird, virtually identical to the Muggle swan. It is known to be native to Eurasia and Greece, where it has thrives well into the modern century. It behaves identically to the non-magical swan, however, the Yoladewe does not utter a single sound throughout its life — not even whilst in pain. Instead, when the Yoladewe approaches the end of its life, it immediately devotes its final few minutes to singing an alluring, yet simultaneously forlorn, melody. This song is said to be the tale of the Yoladewe's life, and with it is seen by some Greek wizards as a sign of a future blessed life when an infant is born within the earshot of a Yoladewe's song.

Muggles are not entirely unaware of the Yoladewe, however, they see it as merely an albino swan, and are unaware of the creature's magical capabilities. Due to this, the Ministries of Magic within Greece and Eurasia have not considered the masking of the Yoladewe to be of any particular important. It is also often said among wizards that the Yoladewe is where the Muggle phrase "swan song" originated.

Yoladewe Tail feather can be used as a wand core, further proof of the birds magical capabilities, though it is considered inferior to Thunderbird and Phoenix tail feather.

Ame Potter

## Ame Ravenclaw (née Potter)

**Ame Ravenclaw** (née **Potter**) (b. 1603) was a famous Irish pure-blood witch, the only child and daughter of William and Morrigan Potter. When she was just a girl, her parents and her first cousin`s parents were murdered in a house fire by their aunt Gormlaith Gaunt, a malevolent dark witch and pure-blood supremacist.

Together with her cousin, Ame would spend the next twelve years with her aunt, until they escaped to the New World. While in the New World they befriended a Pukwudgie called William, with Isolt eventually becoming the wife of James Stewart and Ame becoming the wife of Morgiana Ravenclaw; together the four of them established Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Ame had only one daughter, Astoria Ravenclaw; the namesake of Astoria Greengrass and Astoria Potter.
Cromwell family

"*Old wizarding family, the Cromwells. From Britain, I think. I've heard they're related to those crabby Malfoys. They're America's most famous wizarding family; pure-bloods, the lot of them. You don't see too many of those anymore.*"
—Dion Jones about the Cromwell family[src]

**Cromwell** is the surname of an American pure-blood wizarding family and is considered one of the most famous. The Cromwells are rumored to be related to the Malfoys, which, if true, would make them related to a majority of the other pure-blooded families still located in Great Britain.

## History

### Early history

"*The Cromwells profess themselves as the 'survivors of the Salem Witch Trials.' As a result, they set up shop in Salem and intermarry with other pure-blooded families. They are one of the few wizarding families in this post-Voldemort era who still observe such archaic practices as blood-purity.*"
—an excerpt from *The Magical Families of North America*[src]

At some point, the Cromwells migrated from Great Britain to America.

Several Cromwell witches were victims of the Salem Witch Trials. As a result, they proudly proclaim themselves "survivors of the Salem Witch Trials," and have rooted themselves in Salem, Massachusetts.

## Behind the scenes

* The name "Cromwell" was chosen for the name of the powerful family of witches that rule over Halloweentown in the *Halloweentown* series.

**Astoria Thomas** (née **Potter-Romanov**) (b. 3789/3790) was an English/Norwegian/Russian half-blood witch, the daughter of the pure-blood witch, Sakura Potter and the Muggle-born witch, Lucy Potter. When Astoria was very young, she, her siblings, and parents were sucked back into time to the 90`s, where she decided to attend Hogwarts.

Astoria was a Hufflepuff student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, famed for her acclaimed beauty likened to that of Rowena Ravenclaw and Helena Ravenclaw; Rowena`s own daughter. She was in the same year as the famous Harry Potter and was famed for her knowledge of magical herbs, with her brain being compared to those of the Ravenclaw House. In her fifth year, she joined Dumbledore`s Army, an organization taught and led by Harry Potter. Astoria (although a half-blood) could not prove that she had any witch heritage due to being a time traveler sworn to secrecy and was therefore in danger with her younger sisters when Lord Voldemort took control of the Ministry of Magic in 1997.

Astoria was forced to go on the run to avoid capture and imprisonment by the Muggle-Born Registration Commission, missing her seventh year of schooling. She was eventually captured by Snatchers, but escaped Malfoy Manor along with several other prisoners and returned to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to participate in the Battle of Hogwarts.

Astoria survived the Second Wizarding War and was seen after the final battle sitting next to Seamus Finnigan, Aberforth Dumbledore, and Dean Thomas in the Great Hall. Her later life remains unknown.

## Biography

### Early Life

Astoria is the eldest daughter of a wizard father and a Muggle witch mother
Alister Breckenridge

**Senator Alister Breckenridge** (b. January 21, 1921) was the Headmaster of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (1971 – 2012) for a period of forty-one years, during which time he also taught Magical Politics at the school. He was a half-blood wizard, instrumental in the repeal of Rappaport's Law. Born in Albany, New York, Alister received his education at Ilvermorny School, where he was sorted into Pukwudgie.

He was a spectator to the rise and fall of the Dark Lord Voldemort, and was particularly adamant about keeping the Dark Lord's influence out and away from Ilvermorny and the magical United States. As a result, he was in regular correspondence with Albus Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry before his death, in order to keep an eye on Voldemort's movements in Europe and abroad. Upon Dumbledore's demise, he was unable to attend his old friend's funeral, however, he held a memorial in memory of the great Hogwarts Headmaster on the grounds of Ilvermorny.

Following his retirement as Headmaster of the school in 2012, Alister became a Senator in the Magical Congress of the United States of America, hoping to continue his work in ensuring the liberty of American witches and wizards, and ridding the influence of dark magic from the North American continent.

## Behind the scenes

* Alister's appearance is based upon Ian McDiarmid's portrayal of Sheev Palpatine in *Star Wars*.
Magical Congress of the United States of America

The **Magical Congress of the United States of America** (shorted **MACUSA**), also known more simply as the **Magical Congress** or just **Congress**, is the governing body of the magical community in the United States of America with the intention of preserving magical law. The headquarters of the Magical Congress are in the Woolworth Building on Broadway in New York City. It is headed by the President of the Magical Congress of the United States of America.

Unlike its British counterpart, the Magical Congress does not reveal itself to its No-Maj counterparts, partially as a result of Rappaport's Law, though the law was later repealed in 1965.

The Magical Congress was formed in direct response to the Salem Witch Trials in 1693, and thus predated the No-Maj government by just short of a century. Despite its strict enforcement of the separation between No-Majs and magicalkind during its early days, the Magical Congress soon joined Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in being recognized as the most democratic and least elitist government in the magical world.

Magic Deficient Human

"***Oh, HONESTLY, don't you two read?***"

This article contains terminology invented by the users of this wiki, and is subject to change should new information be released on Pottermore or another official source.
A **Magic Deficient Human** is a human born to at least one magical parent, but is incapable of performing magic — the opposite of wizard born from a Non-Magic Human. They are also called **wizard-born**, similar to terms such as **Muggleborn** or **No-Maj-Born**, though this is less common. There is no true universal term for Magic Deficient Humans, as each wizarding community in each country has different terms for them.

Notably, wizards born to non-magic parents are descended from Magic Deficient Humans.

## Magic Deficient Human terms

### The Commonwealth of Australia

In Australia, a Magic Deficient Human is referred to as a "Drongo". The plural form is "Drongos".

### The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

In the United Kingdom, a Magic Deficient Human is referred to as a "Squib", with "Squibs" being plural. It is uknown when the term originated. Squibs are commonly looked down upon in the Wizarding community by pure-bloods, and regarded even by half-bloods with pity. The term can also be used as an insult towards a witch or wizard whose skill in magic is believed to be subpar.
The Magical Families of North America

Kedward family

"*They're a bad bunch, those Kedwards. They produced a lot of witches back in the day, though most of them went bad. The last one was said to have moved here back in the colonial days, and settled in these woods. Now they're haunted.*"
—Dion Jones about the Kedward family[src]

**Kedward** was the surname of an old Irish wizarding family, primarily responsible for producing dark witches. The line died out during the American colonial period, shortly after the last member of the family moved to the New World.

## Behind the scenes

* The name "Kedward" was derived from the surname of the witch from the *Blair Witch* franchise, Elly Kedward.
Jacob Kingston

"*Well, really, he's me. I needed a way of creating a body of historical works that would form the foundation for how magic is understood in the modern United States – at least in my fan fictions – and so I simply did what J.K. Rowling herself did, and made myself apart of that world.*"
—Jacob Kingston on inserting himself into the Potterverse[src]

**Jacob Kingston** (c. January 1, 1962) was an American wizard of Jewish descent, a magihistorian, and a prolific author, who composed numerous works on the magical history of North America.

## Biography

"*He's the Bathilda Bagshot of the United States – of North America, really. There isn't another magical historian like him.*"
—Ilvermorny Wiki founder, Jacob Kingston, describes his in-universe incarnation[src]

### Early life

Jacob Kingston attended Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry when he was young, and was sorted into Horned Serpent.

### 1992–2000

An exceptional historian, Kingston was one of the few wizards to have gained the trust and friendship of a Sasquatch troop, who allowed him to learn their history, which later allowed him to publish a comprehensive book – the first of its kind – on the subject.

Around the year 2000, he gained widespread acclaim for his publishing of *The Magical Families of North America*, the first book to address the history of magical lineages in North America.

## Published works

* *Sasquatch: The Great Rebellion* (c. 1992)
* *The Magical Families of North America* (c. 2000)

## Behind the scenes

* Kingston signs his work as "J.K.," which is both his initials and a homage to J.K. Rowling herself.
* His birthplace and residence is a reference to the real-life Jacob Kingston's favorite author: Stephen King.
	+ Jerusalem's Lot is the main setting of King's *Salem's Lot*, which happens to be Kingston's favorite novel. Maine is also the primary setting of most of King's works.
* He is depicted by Lewis Black, Kingston's favorite comedian, and also shares Black's ethnic background.
Lost Coast

The **Lost Coast** is a stretch of Californian coastline which is mostly uninhabited by No-Majs. As a result, it was declared territory of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, and many magical species – such as several troops of Sasquatch – call it home. It is also home to a few wizarding families looking to get away from the stress and congestion of the No-Maj world.

## Other locations

* Santa Bosque – an all-wizarding town on the Lost Coast.
Hearing Amplifying Charm

The **Hearing Amplifying Charm** (*Clarisonus*) is a charm used to amplify one's hearing.

## Effect

The Hearing Amplifying Charm is used to enhance the hearing of either the user, or another target. The spell gives the target the ability to hear things they would normally be unable to, amplifying the volume of sounds that would be below their hearing range, and extended their ability to hear from a distance. This spell is notably used by more elderly wizards whose senses begin to fail them, in the absence of the No-Maj "hearing aides".

Prolonged usage of this spell, however, can result in a lightheaded sensation.

## Etymology

The incantation comes from a Latin word, meaning "loud", can be be synonymous with "Sonorous", an incantation with a related effect.

## See also

* Amplifying Charm on Harry Potter Wiki
* Muffliato Charm on Harry Potter Wiki
Black Smoke Charm

The **Black Smoke Charm** (*Oscuro*) is a charm used to create a thick black smokescreen.

## Effect

The Black Smoke Charm generates an explosion of black smoke, exactly like a smokescreen, from the tip of the wand. The smokescreen is used to obscure the user from view, allowing for a quick escape. It can be seen as a spell with a similar effect to the Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder, with the one difference being its ability to be navigated through with light-casting spells. It is, thus, far more inefficient than the magical item, but easier to use should one be unable to acquire such powder from Peru.

## Etymology

The incantation comes from a Spanish word, meaning "dark".

Telekinesis

**Telekinesis** (*incantation unknown*) is a magical ability which manifested in the American wizard Ryan Brennan during his early childhood. It allows him to manipulate a target with his mind.

## History

### Early manifestation

"*My childhood? Not much to say, really. I was raised by No-Majs in a boring little Southern town, and wasn't very well liked because I could move things with my mind. Totally normal.*"
—Ryan describes the manifestation of his powers[src]

Ryan's telekinetic powers first manifested when he was very young and were the beginning signs of his magical prowess.

## Nature

Telekinesis mimics the abilities of both the Levitation Charm and the Summoning Charm, granting Ryan the ability to lift objects without physical contact and call them to his hand.

At first, this power would manifest whenever he was emotionally disturbed (usually angry), causing objects to fly or shatter violently. It could also manifest as an invisible shockwave, pushing away everything within close proximity.

After beginning his education at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he learned to better control his powers and gained the ability to consciously use them for a variety of effects. As a result, he has noted that he has no need for either the Levitation Charm or the Summoning Charm, as this power is superior to both spells, with the additional benefit of being more versatile.

As a teenager, he was capable of crushing automobiles with this power. He also became one of the few wizards capable of unsupported flight through the use of his telekinetic powers.

## Behind the scenes

* Despite not technically being a spell, telekinesis is considered a form of wandless magic.
Black Forest

The **Black Forest**, known as the **Taughannock** by the Native Americans, covers the entirety of Mount Greylock and the surrounding mountains. The edge of the forest borders Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The forest is considered haunted and is extremely dangerous, as it is host to a dark curse. As a result, students at the nearby Ilvermorny School are forbidden to enter it – even in the event of detention. Despite the legends that have grown up around the forest, a troop of Sasquatch are known to live in it.

The Magical Congress of the United States of America considers the forest a forbidden zone.

## Behind the scenes

* *Taughannock* is a Native American word which translates to "in the trees."

Senator

**Senators** are individuals who represent the magical community of a single state of the United States in the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Unlike their No-Maj counterparts, there is only one senator per state, for a total of fifty. Senators are elected for terms of two years each, but have no term limits, and thus can be reelected indefinitely.
Fire Rat

"*Due to a similar and irksome habit they share with the ordinary Muggle rat — dwelling within house walls — many Chinese Muggles have become perplexed at the sight of their home burned down, with only a large red rat moving away from the wreckage...*"
—Excerpt from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, edition sixty[src]

## Species information

### Native range

* China
* Japan

### Alternative names

* Huǒ Shǔ
* Kaso

### Status

Extant

The **Fire Rat** (referred to in their native China as 火鼠 *Huǒ Shǔ* and 火鼠 *Kaso* in Japan) are a species of magical rodent native to both China and Japan. They differ from the non-magical rat in their ability to resist most known forms of fire, as their fur is specially fire-retardant. Due to its fire-resistant properties, the fur of the Fire Rat is heavily prized in both Chinese and Japanese wizarding cloth.

A few decades ago, the Fire Rat was once subject to over-hunting, as many an Asian wizard would try to capture as many of the rodents as they could to use their special fur to craft robes of the same fire-resistant property. In decades to come, the Chinese would realize their mistake, and after its formation, the Chinese Ministry of Magic have placed severe restrictions, classifying their fur as Class B Tradeable Materials — meaning that the Fire Rat fur trade is subject to regulation and control by the Chinese Ministry itself. Illegal poaching and trading of Fire Rat fur can result in severe fines and even imprisonment in the Chinese Wizarding prison.
Santa Bosque

**Santa Bosque** is an all-wizarding town located deep within the Lost Coast in California.

The woods around the town are enchanted, causing any No-Maj who wanders too close to become turned around and lost in the woods – thus preventing them from ever finding it. The town is also Unplottable.

## Behind the scenes

* The word *bosque* is Spanish for "forest."
Horned Serpent

"*Named by Isolt Sayre after the great horned river serpent that has a jewel set into its forehead; Horned Serpent house is sometimes considered to represent the mind of a witch or wizard. It is also said that Horned Serpent favors scholars.*"
―Description of the House of Horned Serpent[src]
**Horned Serpent** is one of the four houses at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was founded by Irish-born witch Isolt Sayre.

Gwendolyn Jones

**Oliver Cromwell**: "*Who is* that*?*"
**Ryan Brennan**: "*That is two hundred and twenty-nine pounds of whoop-ass with a wand. Try not to make her mad.*"
— Oliver Cromwell is introduced to Gwendolyn by Ryan Brennan[src]

**Gwendolyn Jones** (née **Dahlman**) was an pure-blood American witch and the matriarch of the Jones family. She was descended from the equally pure-blooded Dahlman family, who were notable due to their connection with the Cherokee tribe. She attended Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Horned Serpent House. However, her school days were marred by trouble, as she was mischievous and was nearly expelled for her handiwork. After graduating, she was frequently in trouble with the law, and went to prison more than once for violating the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, though she has taken a softer stance in her old age.

Gwendolyn had a large family and, despite her harsh attitude, had compassionately took in others – such as Ryan Brennan, the No-Maj-born friend of her grandson Douglas, who was disowned by his family after he was revealed to be a wizard. Most of her family, immediate and extended, lived together with her in her home in the suburbs of Los Angeles, California.

## Physical appearance

Gwendolyn Jones was an absurdly tall, bespectacled, dark-skinned women, with silver-tinted hair. During her youth spent at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she was frequently picked on by the other children, who believed her to be half-giant due to her abnormal size.

## Behind the scenes

* The idea for Gwendolyn came from the grandmother of a close personal friend of Jacob Kingston's. She is also heavily inspired, mostly physically, by Mable Simmons – Tyler Perry's infamous Madea character, from the franchise of the same name – and was born after the author asked himself, "*What would Madea be like if she were a witch living in Los Angeles?*" The author decided to merge the ideas into one, and thus Gwendolyn was born.
	+ Aspects of her character (e.g., the large family, her matriarchal role, her motherly nature) were inspired by Molly Weasley, despite those also being traits of Mable Simmons.
Sakura Potter

## Sakura Potter (née Romanov)

**Sakura Potter** (née **Romanov**)(b. December 22, 2967 - 2019) was a Norwegian-Russian pure-blood witch born to Mrs. and Mr. Romanov, and became the only known member left of the Romanov Royal House after the assassination of her parents, and much of her still-surviving extended family. At the young age of eleven, she was orphaned and thus she was adopted into the Potter Family as one of their own members, earning her own keep. Through a stroke of faith, Princess Lucy, a member of the Potter Family decided to become her friend, this cycle would continue for several years until they both matured into full adulthood. Lucy then began to court Sakura at this time, with her eventually becoming the Princess Consort of the Crescent Sun Empire, with their five daughters born before her death in August of the year 2019 after being sucked back in time.
Leprechaun hair

"***Oh, HONESTLY, don't you two read?***"

This article contains terminology invented by the users of this wiki, and is subject to change should new information be released on Pottermore or another official source.
Leprechaun hair is a material from the head of a Leprechaun, and it can be used, albeit uncommonly, to comprise a wand core. Noted to be only used in Irish wands, Garrick Ollivander himself refuses to use Leprechaun hair, as they are noted to make for extremely temperamental wands that are prone to releasing magic without the wizard's consent — the magic itself will often be of random effect, and can either be "lucky" or "unlucky" depending on the whim of the wand. Due to the possibility of accidentally hitting a Muggle with a nasty Stinging Hex being just as likely as somehow adding a new chimney to the nearest Muggle dwelling, it is not a favored core among makers.

Despite this, Leprechaun hair wands are noted to be fiercely loyal to their owners, though the nature of the core can clash with the wood, making for a difficult wand to deal with.
Unrelenting Force Charm

The **Unrelenting Force Charm** (*Ventilabis Loquere*) is a powerful charm meant to repel objects.

## Usage

Through the use of the Unrelenting Force Charm, a user is able to powerfully blast black targets with immense force. When used to its fullest potential this charm throws a target backwards through the air, leaving them ragdolled. This spell is the only one of its kind that damages the target at the point of impact in addition to simply the damage gained from landing. Notably the Unrelenting Force Charm is a spell that is at its strongest when spoken aloud: nonverbal incantations weaken this spells effects, only staggering the enemies as opposed to throwing them back.

## Etymology

The incantation *Ventilabis Loquere* comes from the latin words for "Push" and "Speak" respectively, indication this spell's strength as a verbal incantation.
Ryan Brennan's wand

**Ryan Brennan's wand** was 10 ¾ inches long, made of willow, and possessed a core of unicorn hair. Its wood was also described to possess "slightly yielding" flexibility.

## History

### Obtained

Like all students of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Ryan received his wand after the Sorting ceremony. He, along with other students in his first year class, were lead into a separate room where they were chosen by their wands — this wand chose him.

## Behind the scenes

* Willow wands are said to enable advanced wandless magic, a trait Ryan already possessed through the use of his magical ability. They are also said to choose "those of greatest potential," hinting at Ryan's latent talents.
Horrifically Advanced Required Examinations

**Horrifically Advanced Required Examinations** (abbreviated **H.A.R.E.s**, pronounced *Hares*) are subject specific exams that seventh year students at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry take prior to graduation. These exams, more than even E.A.G.L.E.s, are taken to demonstrate skill and knowledge in a particular subject for potential employers.

Employers, particularly in the Magical Congress of the United States of America, often consider or toss out applicants based on their H.A.R.E.s scores alone.

## Description

H.A.R.E.s are the highest level examinations offered by Ilvermorny School. They are comparable, in a sense, to N.E.W.T.s at Hogwarts, and to the GRE in the No-Maj world. As a result, they are extremely difficult, hence the title "horrifically advanced." Unlike at Hogwarts, where students may choose to take their advanced tests/classes, H.A.R.E.s are required for all seventh year students at Ilvermorny, and are taken in the second week of May, just before the end of term.

### H.A.R.E.-level classes

H.A.R.E.-level classes may be enrolled in by a student if they have achieved an E.A.G.L.E. in the subject. Additionally, each teacher has their own set of prerequisites for admitting students to their H.A.R.E.-level class, such as a particularly grade on their E.A.G.L.E.

Elena Aurian

**Elena Aurian** (. late 1500s) was the witch responsible for creating the Fairy-Lights Spell. She was also among some of the first settlers to arrive in the Americas in the mid 1600s. Beyond her creation of this spell — which has now become a trademark decoration spell and has earned her a footnote in Wizarding history in the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's textbook *Chadwick's Charms*, Volume I — she has made no major known contributions to Wizarding history.

## Trivia

* Elena's surname, "Aurian", comes from "אוֹר" (aur), the Hebrew word for "light".
Fairy-Lights Spell

The **Fairy-Lights Spell** (*Fatalux*) is a spell which conjure shimmering floating orbs of light of various colour, intensity, and hue.

## History

The spell was first created and popularized in the mid-1600s, when some of the first American settlers had arrived in the New World. Fairies are noted to be far less common in the Americas than they are in Europe, and many who had grown fond of the creatures as decoration purposes came to be forlorn at their lack of presence in their new home. And so, a young woman by the name of Elena Aurian took it upon herself to create a spell that mimicked the traits of the fairies when used as decorative ornaments. The spell itself became so popular and widespread that it is still used in modern times among many American Wizarding families.

## Effect

The lights will remain in place once conjured, but can be adjusted to fit the user's specifications should they so choose through simple wand movement. The spell could be seen as similar to Lumos in result, but different in application, as the Fairy-Lights Spell is used by the Wizarding world as a spell for decoration. It is said to be extremely popular in places of the world where actual fairies are not commonly found.

## Etymology

The incantation, *Fatalux*, comes directly from the Latin words for Fairy (fata) and Light (Lux).
Wampus

"*Named by Webster Boot after his favorite magical beast, the Wampus; a magical panther-like creature that was fast, strong and almost impossible to kill. Wampus house is sometimes considered to represent the body of a witch or wizard. It is also said that Wampus favours warriors.*"
―Description of the House of Wampus[src]
**Wampus** is one of the four houses at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was founded by Webster Boot, who also named the house after his favorite magical creature.
