It all started nearly 20 years ago, when baby Harry Potter was left bundled up on his aunt’s doorstep. Just think — one orphan boy inspired countless wizard-themed parties, numerous bewitching cocktail recipes, endless Harry Potter home essentials and fanciful Halloween costumes, not to mention the various Harry Potter-inspired baby names. Just because you’re a muggle living in a realm where magic is nonexistent doesn’t mean your new fur baby has to endure the struggle of non-magic folk. Luckily, Harry’s world is vast, with characters of all shapes, sizes and breeds. Finding the right name on this list of pet-friendly Potter-related names is easier than saying “Expecto Patronum.”
Azkaban
If Azkaban rings a bell, let’s hope it’s because you recall reading about the notorious wizard prison, not because you’ve been there. Azkaban could totally be an enchanting name for a pup that had a ruff start in life but is now getting back on the straight and narrow. Kind of like Sirius Black, a former Azkaban inmate. And with Halloween coming up, why not have your dog dress the part? Try this Henry and Co Pets Harry Potter Dog Costume ($50).
