Belvina Burke (née Black) (1886-1962) was a pure-blood witch and the only daughter of Phineas Nigellus Black and Ursula Flint. She married Herbert Burke, and they had three children: two sons and a daughter.[1]
Behind the scenes
- The name Belvina does not fit in with the Black family tradition of naming its members after stars or constellations. It may derived from Latin, in which it would mean something like "lovely wine" or "fair one". Alternatively, it could be derived from Beltane, an ancient Celtic holiday related to Walpurgis Night, "Witches' Night".[2]
- Based on a statement by Horace Slughorn, Belvina may have been a member of the Slytherin House.
