Black Family Tree

[Phil Vlasak]

Author J.K. Rowling would be donating an item to auction in order to help
 Book Aid International,
a group that helps support literacy in the world's poorest countries. This
item was a handwritten paper from JKR. Today, the
Daily Telegraph
newspaper has a preview of this item. Reader Tony let us know that it is the
Black Family Tree, with a portion of the names showing in a photo. Readers
will remember of course, that we learned of the tree as it was on the
tapestry at Grimmauld Place in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Tony writes:
Block quote start
"There are several familiar names visible, including Callidora who married a
Harfang Longbottom. Her sister Charis who married Caspar Crouch.
Intriguingly
there is a Dorea (1920-1977) who married Charles Potter and had one child, a
son. The time frame seems to be consistent with them being James' parents.
"

He also says there is another listing of a name that is very intriguing to
Potter fans "Arcturus Black (1884-1959). "
Please note that most of the paper is covered up, but you can also make out
some other names (Like Phineas Nigellus and his wife).
