EllaMax

Ella Max's name on the Black family tree.

Ella Max was a pure-blood witch who married Cygnus Black I.

Behind the scenes

  • This character's name appears only on the version of the Black family tapestry shown in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She was not included on the version of the tree which J.K. Rowling gave to a charity auction in 2006.[2] However, according to director David Yates, Rowling provided the filmmakers with a copy of the Black family tree going back eight generations.[3] The filmmakers presumably received a more complete version of the tree than the one auctioned off, which only goes back six generations.
  • Given her placement on the tree in the film, it is possible that this character was the mother of Sirius, Phineas Nigellus, Elladora, and Isla (the third of whom may have been named in her honour).

Notes and references

  1. It is a safe assumption that Ella was pure-blood given that Cygnus I was not blasted off the tree.
  2. "Black Family Tree" on The Harry Potter Lexicon
  3. "'Empire' Magazine Feature on OotP" from The Leaky Cauldron
