PUKWUDGIE? An Elf on the Shelf https://www.phantomsandmonsters.com/2023/09/pukwudgie-elf-on-shelf.html - A Massachusetts teen later recalls his experience with an elf-like being, that he believes could have been a Pukwudgie. His father was a collector of Native American artifacts. Was this from an attachment?

Any fellow Pukclaws? Ravenwudgies? :D

Hello, newly sorted Pukwudgie checking in. Thought it was a little odd that I was placed in this Ilvermorny house until I did some more research and it does seem like a good fit for me... more so than the other houses at least. From what I've read, the Pukwudgie in the origin story had a good heart even though he might not have appeared that way at first. So maybe it's a good house for people that hide their true nature or are more than they appear to be, the people that only open up to you with time and effort.

And I like playing healer classes in first-person shooters, so...

Hey everyone! I've just transferred from Horned Serpent house! I have a question for you all: Hogwarts or Ilvermorny?

This is taken from Wikipedia:

"In Native American lore, Pukwudgies have the following traits and abilities; -they can appear and disappear at will -they can transform into a walking porcupine (it looks like a porcupine from the back, and the front is half-troll[clarification needed], half-human and walks upright) -they can attack people and lure them to their deaths -they are able to use magic -they have poison arrows -they can create fire at will -Pukwudgies control Tei-Pai-Wankas which are believed to be -the souls of Native Americans they have killed.

Any thoughts on how this plays a part in the Harry Potter world?

I'm not really a person of the heart. I'm not sentimental or all that emotional or anything. Nor do I really heal people. I'm not good at healing physical nor emotional or mental ailments. Why was I chosen for this house?

just saying hi,

I'm Jay, just found out about the test today so I took it. I was a Ravenclaw in the Hogwarts test, but I'm not gonna worry about that, I would have been in Pennsylvania when I got invites I am strictly Pukwudgie.

my wand is Larch wood Phoenix feather core 12 ½" in length Unyielding flexibility

I don't quidditch was ever mentioned in regard to Ilvermorny. Do you think they play? If so, what house would be the best? If they don't, what other magical game would they play?

At Hogwarts there is the headmaster and then the deputy headmaster, the Heads of Houses, and the other teachers. Student-wise, there are the Head Boy and Girl, followed by the Prefects of each house, then the other students. Do you think it is similar at Ilvermorny, or is it different? If Ilvermorny is different, how do you think it works?

So, whilst roaming the halls of Ilvermorny after lessons with your best friends. You see the Pukwudgie who is rumoured to be the original William. Would you try to talk him into admitting if he is, or just talk about a particularly good prank you played?

What is the most Pukwudgie thing you have done?

Edit: more blank slate :3

Where are all of the Pukerins (Slytherins and Puks combo) I see all the Hufflepuffs (Big up to the Huff my gf is one and she's adorable) and Ravenclaws, but I'm missing my Slytherin pals :(

It would be fun to have a weekly thread/common activity, any ideas?

Pukwudgies are "fiercely independent" creatures who, at least from the Wikipedia page about their folklore, dislike humans. Yet the Pukwudgie house is representative of the heart, which I associate with compassion and friendliness. I've even seen some comparisons between Pukwudgie and Hufflepuff. So why are these independent misanthropic creatures symbolic of heart?

Hey all! I'm super curious what houses everyone is coming from. I know there's no equivalent.

EDIT: The results are here!

Let's fantasize about the Pukwudgie common room at Ilvermorny. I'm pretending it's off of the giant greenhouse/butterfly sanctuary on the grounds and we're the only house that has unlimited access to herbs and vials of oils and other goodies and the common room is full of hanging plants and soft cushions and we get the most snacks.

A Pukwudgie guards the entrance and shoos away non-Pukwudgies. On Valentine's Day Pukwudgie boys always cause a ruckus passing out buttloads of valentines and causing all sorts of drama, the pranksters. Before summer break all the Pukwudgie girls get together to make flower wreaths to pass out to students in other houses for good luck.

There's a rumor that Pukwudgies can speak to animals. Maybe it's true. There's a mini library in the common room with recipe books and books full of pressed flowers and plants.

Our Head of House is also the professor of Muggle Studies. Favorite subjects among Pukwudgies include astronomy and potions. There's a school choir with mostly Pukwudgies and there's even a literal Pukwudgie creature in the choir who sings the deepest notes. There's also an archery club full of Pukwudgies.

I bet it's going to be about a character in the new school.

I really hope it is. It would be awesome if she did.

Did you read the new information first or go straight into sorting?

Looks like the introduction of Ilvermorny revealed new wand cores as well: Horned Serpent, Wampus hair, Snallygaster heartstring, and Jackalope antlers.

Which is your favorite? What do you think they would do/be good at? Which do you think you would have?

HELLO! I'm-a-Jinx, on odd Gryffindor who plays online quidditch, does those trivia games, and was a prefect! I like froyo, and pizza. I'm not athletic in any sort of way, though I do take part of 8 extra-curricular activities at my school. Wooh!

GO PUKWUDGIES!

I was just sorted to Pukwudgie today. I'm also a Ravenclaw.
