Dark Wizard

A Dark Wizard or Dark Witch is any magical person who practices the Dark Arts. Noted Dark wizards and witches include Herpo the Foul, Morgan le Fay, Gellert Grindelwald and Lord Voldemort, as well as the latter's followers, known as Death Eaters.

Others who might be considered Dark Wizards are the owners and customers of shops such as Borgin and Burkes, and arguably students of Durmstrang; the curriculum there includes the Dark Arts. Many Dark wizards and witches appear to believe in the importance of blood purity and to hate Muggles, though there is not necessarily a connection.
