Lycoris Black (1904 - 1965) was a pure-blood witch and the middle child of Sirius Black II and Hester Gamp. Lycoris never married, and never had children.[1]
Behind the scenes
- Based on a statement by Horace Slughorn, Lycoris may have been a member of the Slytherin House.
Etymology
- Lycoris means "twilight" in Greek. It is also a genus of flowering plants in the Amaryllis family that is associated with death and reincarnation in Chinese and Japanese folklore. Ovid and Virgil also mention a mistress of Mark Antony called Lycoris. It is also possible that this name was derived from the plant and sweet liquorice.
