Biography
Astoria was the younger sister of Daphne Greengrass and was two years younger than her older sister. Astoria presumably attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She eventually married Daphne's classmate and fellow Slytherin, Draco Malfoy. The couple had at least one son together, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy,[3] whom they saw off at King's Cross Station for his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 2017.[4]
Etymology
The name Astoria may be derived from the London Astoria, a music venue in London, England, or the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, a famously luxurious hotel in New York City. This hotel was named after the Astors, a very wealthy and influential American family.[5] The name may also be related to Astraea, a daughter of Zeus in Greek mythology who personified justice. Astraea is derived from Greek meaning "star-maiden"; this may related to her husband's maternal family often naming its members after stars and constellations. The name may also be spelled Asteria, as shown on the Weasley Family Tree[6]. Like Hyperion—her son Scorpius' middle name—Asteria is the name of one of the Titans of Greek mythology.
Behind the scenes
- Astoria will be played by Jade Olivia, Tom Felton's real life girlfriend, in the epilogue scene of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II.[7]
- J. K. Rowling has said that she chose to have Draco marry someone other than Pansy Parkinson, who seems to have been his girlfriend during his adolescence, because she always hated Pansy, who represented "the girls who teased me when I was at school". She has referred to Pansy as "the anti-Hermione".
