Hogwarts vs. Ilvermorny Houses: How Similar Are They Really?

In 2016, Harry Potter fans were excited to learn that there was a magical school in North America called Ilvermorny. As detailed in J.K. Rowling’s writings about the Wizarding World, Ilvermorny was established several centuries after Hogwarts and followed its example in many ways. One such instance was Ilvermorny’s founders deciding to divide the school into four houses: Horned Serpent, Wampa, Thunderbird and Pukwudgie. Although they’re not truly meant to be analogs of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin, readers have been comparing them ever since, trying to pair up the different Ilvermorny houses with a corresponding Hogwarts house.Ilvermorny’s houses were each shaped by the founders that named them, and it’s fairly easy to see how each one’s signature traits could link it back to a Hogwarts house. That said, there are still notable differences between the schools and their houses. While the Hogwarts founders were the most renowned wizards and witches of their time, the Ilvermorny founders were an adoptive family who could only dream of what it’d be like to attend Hogwarts. Since there’ve been no new novels or movies about Ilvermorny or its founding family, fans aren’t privy to any house rivalries or dubious reputations. As far as anyone knows, the Ilvermorny founders are all beloved and all their houses are treated as equals. This lack of information stands in stark contrast to Hogwarts’ well-documented social hierarchy. Based on what is known, the similarities between the Ilvermorny and Hogwarts houses are present but superficial.Ravenclaw is perfectly respectable, but it’s arguably the least prominent Hogwarts house in the Harry Potter franchise. Of the heroes, only Luna Lovegood, Cho Chang and Filius Flitwick are in Ravenclaw, and its other alumni, Quirinus Quirrell and Gilderoy Lockart, aren’t exactly the best representatives for the house. In contrast, Horned Serpent seems quite prestigious based on its known alumni. The main member fans get to know is Seraphina Picquery, who was the President of the Magical Congress of the United States of America in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. While her role in the film is limited, Seraphina certainly makes an impression. According to Rowling’s writings, Seraphina was offered a place in all four houses, an incredibly rare occurrence. The fact that she chose Horned Serpent above all others and went on to be such a strong and capable leader speaks pretty highly of the house that shaped her.
