For a cat who belongs in the Wizarding World, the two direct feline references are Crookshanks, Hermione’s cat, and Mrs. Norris, Filch’s cat. The other ideas below draw on Harry Potter characters, creatures, places, and magical objects—they are inspirations, not additional cats from the story.
Harry Potter cat names from the books
If you’re looking for a name that belongs to a cat in the story, start with these two. The character details are reported by secondary pet-name sources; consult the novels for fuller canon context.
- Crookshanks: Hermione’s cat. A distinctive choice for a cat with a bold, curious, or slightly mischievous air.
- Mrs. Norris: Filch’s cat. A memorable fit for a watchful feline—or one who seems to keep tabs on everyone at home.
For the larger list, the names are grouped by the kind of Wizarding World reference they evoke. The suggestions are a curated set, not an official list of cat names. For general Harry Potter-inspired naming ideas, see Nameberry and Adopt a Pet.

How to choose a name your cat can live with
Pet-naming advice from PangoVet recommends considering a cat’s personality, choosing a name that is easy to say, and keeping the series connection recognizable. Those are useful starting points; the final choice is yours.
#1 Best Overall
- Breakaway cat collar with Bell fits 8.5-12" neck size and is 1/2 inch wide.
- This cat collar features beautiful, original artwork and durable components.
- The collar is made from high-density polyester and a plastic clip which is over engineered in thickness, ensuring it will hold up to whatever your pet can dish out.
- This product is handcrafted in the USA by Buckle-Down and is officially licensed by Warner Bros..
- Matching leads/leashes available.
- Match the mood: Luna or Hedwig may feel gentle and bright; Sirius or Bellatrix makes a bolder impression; Dobby or Peeves leans playful.
- Try saying it aloud: Call the name from another room and see whether it feels natural to use. You can also test a short nickname before settling on a longer choice such as Pigwidgeon or McGonagall.
- Pick your level of obviousness: Harry, Hermione, and Hogwarts are unmistakable references. Lumos, Nox, or Nimbus may feel more subtle to someone who doesn’t know the books.
- Think about what the word refers to: Kneazle is a magical-creature reference, while Diagon and Alley turn a place name into a playful two-part pairing. Snitch, Butterbeer, and Nimbus draw on objects or other Wizarding World associations rather than character names.
