Where my Thunderbirds at?

But the story also included some larger details about Rowlings fictional world that are worth diving into.

Here are the 12 things were learned from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

One of its co-founders, James Stewart, was a Muggle.

The school with its four houses was based organizationally on Hogwarts.

The housesHorned Serpent, Wampus, Thunderbird, and Pukwudgieeach represent the favorite animals of Isolt Sayres family.

Where Ilvermorny differs from Hogwarts is in its sorting ceremony.

Students are chosen by respective houses.

If more than one symbol indicates a desire for the student, he or she will pick a house.

Not all of the descendants of Salazar Slytherin were evil.

Slytherins wand, which ends up in the possession of Isolt, had a Basilisk horn core.

Hidebehinds, magical creatures that can shapeshift for duck behind any object, are terrifying.
