Talk:Iolanthe Peverell

A Female Relative
Per Ironyak's request, I have moved this to the talk page to be decided. I have, twice now, added that Iolanthe must, per J.K. Rowling's own words, have at least one female relative. For their part, Ironyak keeps removing this and claiming that everyone does have a female relative - a mother. Now, I do not deny that this is true, however Ironyak's train of "logic" contradicts J.K. Rowling's words of "Peverell blood would run through many wizarding families" because her mother's blood is not Peverell blood - it's blood of whatever family she comes from before she married into the family. Only Iolanthe's paternal aunts (of which there are none known), sisters, paternal female cousins (possibly Cadmus's child which led into the Gaunt Family) or daughters would classify as "Peverell blood", hence my edition of "One female relative" to the page, based on the following logic:

According to Pottermore, Iolanthe inherited the cloak of invisibility due to a "lack of male heirs in her generation." As far as we know, only her father's uncle, Cadmus, fathered at least one child - who would eventually become the precursor to the Gaunt Family - which would imply, as J.K. Rowling confirmed "Peverell blood would run through many wizarding families", that Iolanthe had at least one other female relative - whether this be a sister, aunt, cousin, daughter - to spread the blood to a different family.

May I please have your thoughts on this?--ProfessorMcDumbles (talk) 13:48, August 8, 2019 (UTC)
