Behind the scenes

• Based on a statement by Horace Slughorn, this character may have been a member of Slytherin house . However, he or she attended Hogwarts in the 1830s, when Slughorn wasn´t Potions teacher.
• This character appears only on the version of the Black family tree shown in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. He or she was not included on the version of the tree which J. K. Rowling gave to a charity auction in 2006. However, according to director David Yates, Rowling provided the filmmakers with a copy of the Black family tree going back eight generations. The filmmakers presumably received a more complete version of the tree than the one auctioned off, which only goes back six generations.
• On the Black Family tree depicted on the 2nd DVD of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, this Black's picture is depicted as a skull. Regulus II is also depicted in the same way, and it is unknown why some people have skulls instead of pictures..
• The skull bears a striking resemblance to the Death's Heads worn by the Nazis SS troopers during the Second World War. This may simply be coincidence or it could be done to emphasize the support for racially motivated repression exhibited by several prominent Blacks (support of Muggle-hunting, et cetera).
