Mrs. Blishwick (née Black) (1826-1926) was a pure-blood witch. She was an early member of the House of Black, but her precise relationship to the other known members of the Black family remains unknown. She married a pure-blood wizard named Jimbo Blishwick.^[1]

[edit] Behind the scenes

• 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. 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.
• Mrs. Blishwick died when she was 100. This is very strange for a member of House of Black, because many other members died very young.
• The last letters of her name are -noa.
• Mrs Blishwick is decipted on the Black family tree tapestry very much like Lucretia Prewett. But while Lucretia is decipted with a sad face, and Mrs Blishwick is depicted with a smile.
• Based on a statement of Horace Slughorn, Mrs Blishwick may have been a member of Slytherin House. However, she attended Hogwarts c. 1827 - 1834, when Slughorn wasn't Potions teacher.
