J.K. Rowling writes that Ilvermorny was a magical school of witchcraft and wizardry, founded by a pureblood Irish wizard named Isolt Sayre in the 17th century. Ilvermorny sat atop the highest peak of Mount Greylock enshrouded by powerful concealment enchantments.
Sayre was a descendant of Salazar Slytherin and the renowned Irish witch Morrigan. Sayre lived with her parents in a small Irish town till the day her mother's estranged sister Gormlaith Gaunt (pureblood zealot) murdered Sayre's parents and kidnapped her away to Hag's Glen to stop her from marrying a muggle.
A decade later, following imprisonment and continued attempts at indoctrinating Sayre, she stole her aunt's wand, and managed an escape.
Sayre went on to pose as a Muggle boy, sailing to the 'New World', where she came across a wealth of magical creatures and fellow wizards that'd ultimately help her create Ilvermorny.
The four Ilvermorny houses are named after magical creatures:
- Horned Serpent – a ‘great horned river serpent with a jewel set into its forehead’
- Pukwudgie – ‘a short, grey-faced, large-eared creature’
- Thunderbird – a creature that ‘can create storms as it flies’
- Wampus – ‘a magical, panther-like creature that is fast, strong and almost impossible to kill’

Millions of views later Chewbacca Mom is getting her very own Star Wars action figure courtesy of Hasbro. She visited the Hasbro headquarters, where she was then presented with the figure. Following the presentation she shared her thoughts back on Facebook regarding the whole experience:
"So the weekend after this happened, I was able to go to the Facebook headquarters, and meet an incredible and integral part of this story and this journey, and I feel like today, right now, this moment, is a second divine moment that's happening. So, I want you, if you know how to use Emoji's, all of you out there in Facebook live world, I want you to do the handclap for these amazing people that develop stuff that your kids have...thrown at you and played with."
