  • Lysander is the name of a principle character in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. The play takes place in a single night, lit by moonlight as Oberon states, which harkens back to Lysander's mother Luna.
  • Lysander was also the name of a Spartan General.

[edit] Notes and references

  1. Both of Lysander's parents were from wizarding families, but is unknown whether they were pure-bloods or half-bloods.
  2. "In Ch. 4 of Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince, Horace Slughorn states that family members are often Sorted into the same House. This may indicate that Lysander was or will be Sorted into Ravenclaw, as Luna was Sorted into Ravenclaw. However, there are exceptions.
