there’s a lot we can all agree upon regarding the harry potter franchise but i hope that foremost among them is that the names were bad

· · Web · 2 · 1 · 5

JK Rowling invented “runic numbers” (??) based on animals (???) for harry potter and the names of the runes are

0. Demiguise
1. Unicorn
2. Graphorn
3. Runespoor
4. Fwooper
5. Quintaped
6. Salamander
7. Unknown
8. Acromantula
9. Hydra

like half of those are just knockoff pokémon names come on

@Lady did you know that the reason the names are bad in-universe is because parents go to psychic "name seers" to get name suggestions based on what their child's life is going to be like

@monorail @Lady Oh okay so it was literally just an ass-pull to justify her bad names, that's about what I expected

@Lady Also, pertinent question: is 7 named Unknown or is the name of that one not known?

@witchfynder_finder i’m not sure, i think it’s literally called unknown but it might be called unknown because they don’t know what it is
