And I can also see a Violetta Bulstrode, a Herbert Burke who married Belvina Black and the infamous Arcturus Black married to Lysandra Yaxley. The aunt Elladora whose charming tradition regarding House Elves Sirius mentionned also figures on it ^^
I love this family. I love having all those new names to play with ♥

it is the Black Family Tree, with a portion of the names showing in a photo. Readers will remember of course, that we learned of the tree as it was on the tapestry at Grimmauld Place in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Tony writes:
"There are several familiar names visible, including Callidora who married a Harfang Longbottom. Her sister Charis who married Caspar Crouch. Intriguingly there is a Dorea (1920-1977) who married Charles Potter and had one child, a son. The time frame seems to be consistent with them being James' parents. "

But that got me thinking, didn't she say that wizards live longer than Muggles? Because most of the Blacks we see have normal "Muggle" lifespans...
And what's up with Arcturus? o.O Am I missing something?

I think JKR isn't very good at math, that's why she can't keep her wizard's age straight XD
Acturus was annunced as Regulus Black's middle name briefly at the lexicon when they confirmed he was R.A.B. before retracting themselves...
