All the Harry Potter films are on Netflix!
To celebrate Netflix releasing all eight Harry Potter movies on to the streaming platform, we want to share some of the best Harry Potter inspired baby names with you.
Today marks the first time that the films, adapted from JK Rowling’s best-selling children’s novels, will be carried as a full collection on a streaming service.
Harry Potter inspired baby names.
If you consider yourself a true 'Potterhead' – why not think about choosing some witch and wizard baby names for your little one?
There are just
so many Harry Potter themed names for boys and girls that you could use, and here are some of our favourite ones:
1. Harry
The boy who lived himself. The name 'Harry' means ‘protector’ and ‘army commander’ – which, you know, is fitting seeing as he builds up an army to fight he who must not be named.
2. Hermonie
As Harry's best friend, Hermonie is one of the main characters in the Harry Potter books and movies, and the name itself means ‘well-born’.
3. Albus
Albus Dumbledore is the headmaster of Hogwarts, and one of the most well-loved characters in the series. The name itself means ‘white’ or ‘bright.'
4. Emmeline
Emmeline is one of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, and the name comes from French and is said to mean 'hardworking.’
5. Draco
Yes, he is a bad guy – and Harry's sworn nemesis, but the name? We kind of love it – and it literally means 'dragon' so how cool is that?
6. Lily
Harry Potter’s mother – who sacrificed herself trying to save her only child – is called Lily.
7. Severus
Severus Snape is one of the teachers at Hogwarts – and rather fittingly, the name means ‘stern’.
8. Luna
Luna Lovegood is a friend of Harry, Ron and Hermonie. She is quirky and eccentric, and the name Luna, which actually means 'moon' has gained immense popularity since the release of the films and books.
9. Neville
Neville is a French name originally, meaning 'new town,' and in the Harry Potter books, we meet Neville as a shy and clumsy boy, who later grows into a strong and courageous man.
10. Poppy
Madam Poppy Pomfrey was a witch and the matron at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
11. James
Harry Potter's father was James Potter.
12. Fleur
Fleur Delacour is a French witch who as a student comes to Hogwarts to compete in the Triwizard Tournament.
13. Arthur
Arthur Weasley is Ron's father and a pure-blood wizard in the employ of the Ministry of Magic – as well as a member of the second Order of the Phoenix.
