About this list
Harry Potter cat names are perfect for the witchy feline of any Harry Potter fan. While Luna is an obvious choice — the Number 1 cat name in recent years — there many other mystical and magical options throughout the Harry Potter books and movies.
You may be inspired by the feline characters of the series, from the full-time cats Crookshanks and Mrs. Norris, to the Animigi — witches and wizards who shapeshift into cats — like Minerva McGonagall.
Female *Harry Potter* cat names also include nature names like Lavender, Myrtle, Pansy, and Fleur, as well as ancient Greek and Latin names like Hermione, Andromeda, Bellatrix, and Narcissa.
Many of the male *Harry Potter *cat names have that distinct Latin -us ending, from Lucius and Sirius to Albus and Rubeus. Other options include Newt, Draco, Lupin, and Neville.
Here is our full collection of cat names from *Harry Potter***.
