Getting a new puppy is a magical time filled with learning and bonding with your pet. From picking out the specific breed of puppy, getting your house ready for your new furry family member, to training them, there’s plenty of excitement for a new owner of a puppy. And what better way for a new puppy owner to celebrate their puppy then by giving them a Harry Potter themed name!

Let’s be real, what’s better than Harry Potter and puppies? It’s hard to think of a combination much better than that. While the list of most popular dog names doesn’t reflect the magic and wonder of Harry Potter, incorporating the wizarding world created by J.K. Rowling is an excellent way to give your new puppy a unique name that will gather the approval of Harry Potter lovers from Diagon Alley to the Forbidden Forest.
