Felix Philip

Felix is one of Carter and Sadie's students. He is ten years old and completely obsessed with penguins. He has an innocent, somewhat playful personality, and is viewed as a little brother by most of the Brooklyn House. He is also known to be talented at playing basketball and is one of the youngest Brooklyn House trainees, although he prefers to use things like shoes, penguins, and basketballs as weapons, rather than magic. He likes to use magic for practical jokes and summoning magical penguins, but not really for combat. It is also mentioned that Felix turned the fireplace into an icy area with penguins. It even mentions that he likes to make shabti penguins out of his mashed potatos. Felix wants to follow the god of ice (if there is one), and also learned a new spell called se-kebeb, which means "makes cold".

The Throne of Fire

 * When Felix first arrived at the Brooklyn House, he was the youngest child there, at age nine (although he later turns ten).


 * In the lesson, Magic Problem-Solving 101, taught by Carter, Felix used a basketball to make a shabti lose its balance and shatter into pieces. When the Three Headed Snake attacked Carter and his other trainees, Felix took off his left shoe and threw it at one of the heads.


 * In the Battle of Brooklyn House, he summoned penguins, which was quite effective as the magicians who were sent to Antarctica seemed to be terrified of them. He also freezes a rebel magician entirely.

The Serpent's Shadow

 * Felix had summoned several penguins while raiding the gift shop with his fellow trainees as Carter and Sadie were outside. These penguins, when discovered, were wearing King Tut masks. He fended off evil sprits in the brief battle against Apophis with a powerful aura. However near the end of the battle it started to fail.


 * After the failed attempt at Texas, the next morning he carved mini penguins shabti out of his mashed potatoes and brought them to life.


 * In the final battle, Felix encases his enemies in snowmen with an army of penguins that pecked at enemy magicians and stole their wands.


 * At the end of the book, he says that he was meant to follow the path of the ice god, much to Carter's confusion, as Egypt is a desert, and there would be no ice. Carter asked if there is a god of ice and Felix replied enthusiastically that he had no idea.
