If the sources are correct, the American school of Ilvermorny also sorts its students into four houses. As Pottermore reveals new information about the Potter universe, we get to be treated to a whole new world of magic outside Europe. So far, four other houses were revealed: Ilvermorny (America), Uagadou (in Africa), Mahoutokoro (in Japan) and Castelobruxo (in Brazil). Along with those schools, we also know about Durmstrang (also somewhere in Europe) and Beauxbatons (France).

Now, some genius Redditor has managed to uncover the names of the four houses and claims that they are authentic. The claim is that a source code for a sorting hat quiz has been discovered in the Pottermore website which revealed the name of the four houses. They are: Horned Serpent, Wampus, Thunderbird, and Pukwudgie.

It should be noted that all of them are based on First Nations folklore. Hypable listed some of the descriptions of these creatures based from Wikipedia:

The Wampus is “a creature in American folklore, variously described as some kind of fearsome variation of a cougar.”

The Thunderbird is a “legendary creature in certain North American indigenous peoples’ history and culture. It is considered a supernatural bird of power and strength. It is especially important, and frequently depicted, in the art, songs and oral histories of many Pacific Northwest Coast cultures, and is found in various forms among the peoples of the American Southwest, Great Lakes, and Great Plains.”

The Pukwudgie is “a two-to-three-foot-tall (61 to 91 cm) being from the Wampanoag folklore. Pukwudgies’ features resemble those of a human, but with enlarged noses, fingers and ears. Their skin is described as being a smooth grey, and at times has been known to glow.”

The Horned Serpent “appears in the mythologies of many Native Americans. Details vary among tribes, with many of the stories associating the mystical figure with water, rain, lightning and/or thunder. Horned Serpents were major components of the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex of North American prehistory.”

Nothing has been verified and so many questions are still floating around (such as how the sorting would be like) but we do wish the houses were real!
