Biography

Young Death Eaters

Lestrange at a Slug Club supper with his school friends Tom Riddle, Avery and others

Lestrange attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and was sorted into Slytherin house, eventually becoming a member of Professor Horace Slughorn's Slug Club. He was also a member of Tom Riddle's gang when they were classmates. During his time at school, Lestrange forgot to turn in a Potions essay for Professor Slughorn and was nearly put in detention.[2][3]

Upon finishing his education at Hogwarts he likely became one of the original Death Eaters, as Albus Dumbledore suspected was the case for many of Riddle's gang. If so it can be presumed that he fought in the First Wizarding War and possibly the Second Wizarding War as well.

Personality and traits

With what little we see of Lestrange, as a teenager he admired Tom Riddle and already viewed him as a leader. Like the other members of the gang, he already was committing dark acts as a student, meaning he was likely sadistic even then. He appeared to be somewhat lax in his schoolwork as Slughorn quite sternly threatened to give him detention if his essay wasn't completed. Despite this his was likely a skilled wizard or related to someone notable since he was chosen to be in the Slug Club.

Possessions

Behind the scenes

  • It's likely that he's related to fellow Death Eaters Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange. Given their relative ages, it's likely that they are his sons. This would also make Bellatrix Lestrange his daughter-in-law.
  • It's unknown if he was still alive during the Second Wizarding War, though many Death Eaters are unidentified throughout the series. If he participated he likely was killed or imprisoned following the Battle of Hogwarts.
