- "Flamboyant American vampire. Author of A Vampire's Monologue — intended to bore the reader into a stupor making him/her easier prey for vampires."
- — Chocolate Frog Card[src]
Amarillo Lestoat (1776—1977) was a flamboyant American vampire. He wrote a book, A Vampire's Monologue, which was intended to bore readers out of their minds and render them easier to bite. For his infamy, he was immortalised onto a Chocolate Frog Card.[1]
Etymology[]
"Amarillo" is Spanish for "yellow", "le" is French for "the" and a stoat is an animal related to the weasel. Consequently, his name appears to translate to "the yellow stoat".
The name itself may also be a reference to characters from popular book series The Vampire Chronicles (written by Anne Rice), which include main characters by the names of Armand and Lestat. This also then connects to the supposed book written by Amarillo Lestoat, A Vampire's Monologue, which may be a reference to Interview With The Vampire, the first book in The Vampire Chronicles series, which is a retelling of Louis de Pointe du Lac's life story.
Behind the scenes[]
- His surname and overall character might be based on the character Lestat de Lioncourt, a vampire in Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles, who has a similar appearance and lived within the same time frame.
- He was born in 1776 in the United States, the time and place during which the American Declaration of Independence was created and ratified.
Appearances[]
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game) (First appearance) (Appears on a Famous Wizard Card)
- Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery (Mentioned only)
