This individual was a Dark witch who married into the pure-blood House of Gaunt. She had multiple children which included Ominis Gaunt.[3] It is possible that she was a member of the House already, as the Gaunts were known for their inbreeding.
Biography[]
She and her husband taught their family the Cruciatus Curse and regularly performed it on Muggles "for sport". When they instructed Ominis to perform it, he refused, which caused them to perform it on him instead. This event shaped Ominis's division from his family and his dissociation with the Dark Arts.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
- Chronologically, Marvolo Gaunt could be one of her elder children who tortured their little blind brother, Ominis, with the Cruciatus Curse.
Appearances[]
- Hogwarts Legacy (First mentioned)
Notes and references[]
- ↑ According to Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 10 (The House of Gaunt), "Marvolo, his son, Morfin, and his daughter, Merope, were the last of the Gaunts, a very ancient Wizarding family"; he is here speaking about Bob Ogden's visit to Gaunt Shack in the summer of 1925 (which happened "beneath a summer sky", "a few months" before Merope eloped with Tom Riddle Senior; Dumbledore also says Voldemort was born about a year after they were married, and his date of birth is given elsewhere as 31 December 1926). This means that, except for these three Gaunts, the rest of the family had been extinct in the male line by that point, and by extension, this individual had already died.
