Bulstrode is the surname of a wizarding family. They used to be pure-blood[1] and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, but more recent members, such as Millicent Bulstrode, are half-bloods, suggesting that one or multiple members of the Bulstrode family had Muggle or Muggle-born spouses. They are distantly related to the Blacks, the Flints, the Crabbes and the Potters.[2]
Family Members
- Millicent Bulstrode — a Slytherin student in Harry Potter's year at Hogwarts
- Violetta Black née Bulstrode — wife of Cygnus Black II and mother of Dorea Potter née Black
Etymology
Bulstrode is an extremely rare surname in the United Kingdom.[3] Its origin is uncertain, but it may be derived from a place name meaning either "fortress on the marsh" (from Old English burh, "fortress", and strod, "marsh"),[4][5] "bull marsh" (from Old English bula, "bull", and strod),[4][5] or "Bur's marsh" (form Bur, the name of a family, and strod).[3] Bulstrode Park is a large park to the northwest of the Buckinghamshire town of Gerrard's Cross in the English Home Counties. Bulstrode is a grumpy, anthropomorphic barge in the Railway Series books, on which the television show Thomas and Friends is based.
