Alphard Black (between 1925 and 1938 — 1976/1977) was a pure-blood wizard from the noble Black family and was a Slytherin student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Biography[]

Alphard was the middle child of Pollux Black and Irma Crabbe, and brother of Walburga and Cygnus. He was born sometime after his sister and before his brother and grew up in 12 Grimmauld Place.

Alphard passed away from unknown causes sometime in 1976 or 1977. In his will, he left a "decent amount of gold" to his nephew Sirius Black, who was seventeen at the time. He was posthumously disowned and removed from the Black family tree tapestry by Sirius' mother, Walburga, and Sirius believed that this act of charity towards him was the reason why.

Personality[]

Judging from Alphard's action of helping his nephew when he ran away from home, it can be deduced that he was, at the very least, capable of love and fondness. It can therefore be inferred that he might have been kind and compassionate in his life, which made Alphard vastly different from his sister Walburga Black and his younger brother Cygnus Black III for that matter, in that he wasn't bothered about his nephew being a blood traitor. He did not seem to fear being blasted off the tapestry, thus indicating that, like his nephew, he himself had a rebellious or brave bone. He shares a similarity to his niece Andromeda Tonks and his distant relative Cedrella Black. He was the middle child of three, sorted into Slytherin and that they were all disowned.

Trivia[]

  • Given the fact that Alphard left Sirius a "decent amount of gold", he and his nephew must of had a close relationship, most likely meaning that Sirius's claim that apart from Andromeda, he hated his entire family was simply an oversimplified way of saying he hared most of them.
