Find a Harry Potter name for your cat or kitten: canon felines like Crookshanks and Mrs. Norris, character names that suit a cat's personality (Minerva for the dignified one, Peeves for the chaos gremlin), plus spells, potions, sweets, and magical creatures that make great pet names.

About Harry Potter cat names

Cats are one of the three animals a Hogwarts student may bring to school, alongside owls and toads, and the wizarding world has given us some memorable felines: Hermione's squashed-faced half-Kneazle Crookshanks, Filch's dust-colored spy Mrs. Norris, Minerva McGonagall's tabby Animagus form, and Mrs. Figg's houseful of cats including Tibbles, Snowy, Mr. Paws, and Tufty. Even Dolores Umbridge collected kitten plates.

Beyond canon cats, the books are packed with words that fit a cat's personality. Dignified cats suit professor names like Minerva, Severus, or Albus. Fluffy orange cats are practically obligated to be Crookshanks or Weasley. Black cats get Sirius, Nox, or Bellatrix; white cats get Hedwig or Snowy; sneaky ones get Peeves or Kreacher. Spells make excellent short, punchy call names (Nox, Accio, Lumos, Stupefy), and sweets and potions give you cozy options such as Butterbeer, Treacle, Bezoar, and Pumpkin. Cat-pun names like Hairy Pawter and Purrfessor Snape are silly, but they are what a lot of owners actually search for.

The list gathers all of these, and reaches further into wand woods like Holly and Hawthorn, Herbology plants, Quidditch teams and brooms, shops and villages, magical objects, and common room passwords, so you can pick a name that fits your cat's color, temperament, and house allegiance, whether it's a rescue kitten or a full-grown Kneazle-adjacent grump.

How to choose Harry Potter cat names

Match the name to your cat's look: Crookshanks or Weasley for gingers, Sirius or Nox for black cats, Hedwig or Snowy for white ones, and Minerva for any tabby with square markings around the eyes.
Short names ending in a vowel or a sharp consonant (Luna, Nox, Dobby, Accio) are easy to call across a room.
Choose personality over fandom: an aloof cat is a Severus, a food-obsessed one is a Ron, and a chaos gremlin is a Peeves.
If you have two cats, pair them: Fred and George, Padfoot and Prongs, Lily and James, or Crookshanks and Mrs. Norris.
Try the name out loud for a day before committing; some (Expelliarmus, Sectumsempra) are fun but exhausting to shout across the house.

Frequently asked questions

What is Hermione's cat's name in Harry Potter?

Hermione's cat is Crookshanks, a large ginger, bow-legged, squashed-faced cat who is part Kneazle. She buys him from the Magical Menagerie in Diagon Alley in Prisoner of Azkaban.

Which Harry Potter characters have cats?

Hermione has Crookshanks, Argus Filch has Mrs. Norris, Millicent Bulstrode owns a cat, and Arabella Figg keeps several cats and Kneazles including Tibbles, Snowy, Mr. Paws, and Tufty. Professor McGonagall can transform into a tabby cat as an Animagus.

What are good Harry Potter names for a black cat?

Sirius (after Sirius Black, whose Animagus form is a black dog), Nox (the spell that extinguishes light), Bellatrix, Severus, Regulus, and Salazar all suit black cats. Padfoot is another popular choice.

Are these names free to use for my pet?

Yes. Naming a pet after a fictional character is entirely fine, and the pun names and spell-based names here are free to use however you like.
