Jacob's family were a wizarding family to which Jacob, his sibling, as well as their father and mother, belonged.

History

Jacob's family were a wizarding family from Great Britain or Ireland. By the early 1970s, there were four known members, a couple and their two children. The older child, Jacob, began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by the late 1970s to the early 1980s, and was eventually expelled because of his violation of rules while searching for the legendary Cursed Vaults. The younger one started at Hogwarts in 1984, being sorted to the same House as him, and was met by whispers of their brother's expulsion and the reasons that he received such a severe punishment, alongside suspicions from several peers and staff members that they too would be a troublemaker. Their mother was very strict in not allowing her children to perform magic outside school, whereas neither her or their father believed that the Cursed Vaults truly existed.

Upon reading about the events taking place at Hogwarts in Daily Prophet, she was, while very proud of her second child's contributions to breaking the curse and removing the cursed ice, not happy to learn that the Cursed Vaults was indeed real, as it only served to make her concerned that, since there apparently was more to Jacob's disappearance than what she might first have thought, her youngest might end up going missing as well. This only served to strengthen her resolve about putting restrictions on her youngest's access to potentially dangerous activities, refusing to buy them a broomstick even they were old enough to bring their own to school. Even so, she did admit to her second child that she hoped that they would find Jacob safe and sound, showing that she eventually came to, at least indirectly, approve of their search for him.

Jacob was reunited with their younger sibling in 1989 when they encountered each other in the Buried Vault, after having fought Patricia Rakepick in there. Jacob thanked his younger sibling for never having given up on him after so many years. The two sibling also shared the gift of Legilimency.

Behind the scenes

• The name of this family, as well as its Hogwarts House, are chosen by the player in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery.
• The family during the time of the game were most likely not so rich, just like the Weasleys, as Jacob's sibling stated that they couldn't afford even a second hand broom. They also said during a Transfiguration class on the Porcupine to Pin Cushion spell that a pincushion would be too expensive for them.
