Can a baby speak Parseltongue?

[StressedWorriedSkye]

Yes, my husband finds it funny. But since our daughter turned five months old, she’s been making sounds that honestly sound like Parseltongue from Harry Potter. 🫣 Has anyone else experienced the same? She’s seven months old now.

I'm afraid I disagree with your DH. This isn't funny.If you seriously think this then he should be concerned about you.

This is a wind up, yes?

My sibling only spoke parseltongue for a whole year, after seeing harry potter. As a child, I should say.

I would definitely keep an eye on this, and watch for other signs of wizardry and witchcraft

Is she a direct descendant of Salazar Slytherin? That makes it more likely.

(Unless you're serious and not joking in which case... You need to speak to someone medical and very not wizardy fairly urgently).

Oh yes, we're all terribly concerned that our children will have an affinity with the Dark Lord. Rush her straight to A&E and also, stop smiling because this is SERIOUS.

OP, when my DD was 6 months old I took her to an art gallery and she blew raspberries all the way around. I liked to think it was a post-modern comment on the brutalist architecture, but retrospectively, I think she was just testing out the different noises she could make.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

You need to owl-proof your letterbox asap.

Get a pet snake op. Imagine the adventures they’ll have together!

I sincerely hope that this is a joke!!

My daughter did some sort of wee chant when she was about that age and we said she was doing voodoo. It also went along with strange hand movements. Funnily enough she is now obsessed with Harry Potter so may be it was parseltongue 😂

You may get more expert advice on the Raising Wizards board.

Some people irl think their children are possessed by devils. They subject them to horrendous exorcism ceremonies.
So how do you know OP isn't serious?
It's an exceptionally weird thing to say about your wee baby.

I suppose the question is at what age Harry Potter was able to speak parseltongue or actually Tom Riddle because Harry was at least one before he had the ability passed on to him. Could a baby speak parseltongue before their mother tongue? We will have to ask JK for the answer to that.

My firstborn's first word was 'Nagini' ...

Wut?

It might not actually be Parseltongue but I guess it’s worth a trip to Pets at Home reptile section (or similar) to be sure.

Yep. Had this with one of my kids. Was a shock having Hagrid break down the door mind

We are just a family of Muggles, much to my son’s never-ending disappointment.

Does she display any other signs of dark wizardry or evil? Any screaming in the night, soiling herself, refusal to walk - that sort of thing?

If you do decide to take her to the NHS, please, please report back on what they say.

Ok Petunia

You'll need to explain that one. I have no idea what you are talking about

Do you genuinely think that pointing out that your baby makes lisping babbling noises that sound a bit like the ones a wizard makes in a children's film is in some way equivalent to saying 'I think my child is possessed by Satan'?

If the OP had said 'My baby makes a really funny little noise sometimes that sounds like Muttley's wheezy laugh in the Dastardly & Muttley cartoon', would you think she was genuinely implying that her child was an animated scruffy dog who acts as sidekick to a moustachioed pigeon-catcher?
