Orion was a constellation located on the celestial equator.[1]

History[]

The name of this constellation was used by the Black family to christen one of their members Orion Black, the husband of Walburga and the father of Sirius and Regulus Black.[2] During their Astronomy practical O.W.L. Examination in 1996, Hogwarts students had to fill a star chart with the precise positions of the stars of Orion.[3]
