With “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” set for release this November, Pottermore has surprised fans by revealing the four houses of the North American School of Wizardry, Ilvermorny. The school was introduced in the book, which was released in 2001, when Newt Scamander met several of Ilvermorny’s alumni upon coming to America. Up until now we haven’t known much about Hogwarts’s sister school in the states.
