WHO ARE THE BLACK - WHO ARE THE BLACK II

We come to the point.

pulling the strings, you can bring everything to Nigellus Phineas Black, the late headmaster of Hogwarts: is he that there are two strains that dynastic, at the beginning of the twentieth century, are represented mainly by two cousins firstborn Pollux and Arcturus . The prolific head teacher has given birth to more children from which have developed other branches of the race, but it is not my intention to focus the entire width of the tree - although why a family with centuries-old would become a complicated thing, but rather on the portion that leads to the characters purely potteriani.

The two cousins set out above, therefore, they deliver three two children respectively Walburga, Alphard - then in turn deleted from the annals for siding on the side of Sirius - and the first Cygnus , Lucretia and Orion the second. They are the protagonists of the pink Perfect Family, together with their children: Sirius, in fact, in addition to Regulus, Bellatrix, Narcissa and Andromeda denied, erased from the record family for marrying a magician sanguesporco.

What has triggered more interest in me was the fact that Orion and Walburga, parents of the convict in question had an age difference of five years of which was she, not he, the old side. It seemed curious that in the fifties a woman of good family to marry a younger boy. Initially I thought I'd explain it as a choice due to purely economic issues, but I found a trivial solution, which flattens the characters to the usual negative light that one hundred percent reserves for the bad (the same: no feeling) and this was not the way I wanted to beat.

It 's very simple level the Black to the simple rank of petty, stupid wicked fairy-tale horror. Yet it is a noble and ancient family, aristocratic, cultured. It is not stupid or psychopaths who speaks - even if Bellatrix brings some doubts - but a fine breed, and influential. So I thought it would be interesting to look more human and sympathetic side of the characters, trying to catch them in a more comprehensive and profound. Because even a racist can be fun, without ceasing to appear reprehensible - at least to my eyes. Everyone is composed of many levels and is too easy to simply label it as bad .

So do not be surprised if you come across an Orion romantico e spiritoso, in una Walburga che fa sgambetti e si appassiona di vestiti, in un Cygnus machiavellico e in un Arcturus umorista o, naturalmente, in un Alphard esilarante e molto, molto intellettualmente autonomo.

Perché, ecco, questi sono i miei Black.
