||
| − | *It has been speculated that [[James Potter I|James Potter]] is Charlus Potter's son. [[J. K. Rowling]] has commented that James’s parents were older when they had him; because of this, and because of his family’s wealth and lack of other children, he was quite spoiled<ref>[http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/2007/7/30/j-k-rowling-web-chat-transcript Leaky Cauldron: 30 July 2007 Webchat with J.K. Rowling]</ref>. Dorea would have been forty years old in [[1960s|1960]]<ref name="BFT" />, when James was born, which fits in with Rowling’s comments. However, Rowling also said that James’s parents died of natural causes when they were elderly<ref>[http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/2005/0705-tlc_mugglenet-anelli-3.htm 16 July 2005 Leaky Cauldron and MuggleNet Interview]</ref>, but Dorea Potter was only fifty-seven years old when she died<ref name="BFT" />. This could simply be a mathematical error, as Rowling has also admitted that maths is not her strong suit<ref>[http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/faq_view.cfm?id=63 F.A.Q.] at [[J.K.Rowling Official Site|J.K. Rowling's Official Site]]</ref> and [[Dating conventions#Contradictions|inconsistencies]] have been noted in the timeline. Also, many other members of the [[House of Black]] are shown to have died at relatively young ages for wizards<ref>No individual whose dates of birth and death are shown on the [[House of Black|Black family tree]] lived past the age of ninety. Most of them died between the ages of fifty and eighty.</ref>, and James Potter's parents must have died between [[1975]] and [[1981]]<ref>[[Harry Potter]] was sent to live with the [[Dursley family]] after he was orphaned because he had no other living relatives. [[Sirius Black]] was taken in by the Potters after he ran away from [[12 Grimmauld Place|home]] at the age of sixteen, in [[1975]] or [[1976]]. Thus, James Potter's parents must have died somewhere between these times.</ref>. |

| + | *Ironically, although it was not James, this man was related to many of those close to [[Harry Potter]], for instance, being first and foremost an obvious relative on his father's side, a first cousin once removed of [[Sirius Black|Sirius]] and [[Regulus Black]] and [[Bellatrix Lestrange|Bellatrix]], [[Andromeda Tonks|Andromeda]] and [[Narcissa Malfoy|Narcissa Black]], and so a cousin of [[Nymphadora Tonks|Nymphadora]] and [[Edward Lupin|Ted Lupin]] and [[Draco Malfoy|Draco]] and [[Scorpius Malfoy]] respectively, a second cousin of [[Arthur Weasley]], and a possible distant relative of [[Neville Longbottom]].<ref>He may be a descendant of [[Callidora Black]] and [[Harfang Longbottom]], though this is unconfirmed</ref> |

This implies that all Blacks except Sirius were Sorted into [[Slytherin]] while Slughorn was Head of House. Dorea, born in 1920, presumably attended Hogwarts c. 1931 or 1932 to 1938 or 1939, and thus would most likely have been a student of Slughorn, who was stated to have begun teaching at Hogwarts around the same time as [[Albus Dumbledore]] in Chapter 5 of ''Half-Blood Prince'', in [[1930s|1938]] or earlier.</ref>. However, James also had a disdainful attitude toward Slytherin house<ref name="DH33" />. It is equally possible that Charlus Potter's (and Dorea Potter's) son is simply a relative of James Potter. |

"Are you a wizard, or what?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is a conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title. |
The only child and son of Charlus Potter and Dorea Black was a pure-blood wizard.[2] He was a first cousin of Walburga, Alphard and Cygnus Black on his mother's side.[2] He was also related in some way to James Potter and his son, Harry Potter, on his father's side.
Etymology
- Potter is a very common surname of English origin. It traditionally refers to the occupation of making pottery. Beatrix Potter was a well-known English children's author. Potter's field is the name for a burial ground for the unknown or unclaimed dead, particularly soldiers and orphans. The Potter Box is a model for making ethical decisions developed at Harvard University. J. K. Rowling has also commented that she has liked the name since childhood, as a family that had lived near her carried this surname.
Behind the scenes
- It was once speculated that James Potter was in fact Charlus Potter's son. However, the actual names of James's parents, Fleamont and Euphemia Potter, were revealed via Pottermore.[3] In spite of this, it is still more than likely that this individual might be a cousin of James Potter and his descendants.
- Ironically, although it was not James, this man was related to many of those close to Harry Potter, for instance, being first and foremost an obvious relative on his father's side, a first cousin once removed of Sirius and Regulus Black and Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa Black, and so a cousin of Nymphadora and Ted Lupin and Draco and Scorpius Malfoy respectively, a second cousin of Arthur Weasley, and a possible distant relative of Neville Longbottom.[4]
- If Harry really didn't have any living relatives other than the Dursleys by 1981, it can be assumed that Charlus, and this man were all dead by that date, although it is not fully confirmed. Dorea instead died in 1977.
- This individual was not featured on the Potter family tree on Pottermore.
Appearances
