Hort is described as a sinister weasel.

Personality and Traits
Hort is strong, passionate, and kind of a simp for Sophie, even when he is with Nicola. He is extremely stubborn, and is usually nice to people. He is loyal (most of the time), and the only time he is irritable is during one of his ‘sulks’.

Magical Abilities and Skills
Hort can turn into a man wolf, which is basically a werewolf but with more control.

Frog pj's. (Until Sophie stole them)

Relationships
Though Hort is in no relationships he is in love. Hort has always had a thing for Sophie he said she had princess hair, and that she was pretty. In the second book he helps Sophie in the Trial by Tale, but at the end "Filip" broke her promise. In the third book Sophie and Hort bathe together (with clothes on). He also sees, in wish fish, him marrying Sophie. Unfortunately, when he goes after her in the sapphire cave she is already gone and when they make it back to school she said she was happy on her own.

In the fourth book, Hort started a relationship with one of his students, Nicola, an intelligent and witty reader. Their relationship continued into Book 6, but his feelings for Sophie were still prominent. Halfway through the sixth book, Hort and Nicola break up while his relationship with Sophie gets even stronger. Sophie finally falls in love with Hort, and they kiss, sealing their new relationship as lovers even when Hort lost his man wolf ( favourite part of Hort, Sophie loved about ).
