Mrs. Black was a pure-blood witch. She married a pure-blood wizard, Mr. Black, who was the earliest known member of the House of Black. Her name appears on the Black family tree tapestry that hangs in the ancestrial home of 12 Grimmauld Place. It's possible that she was Mrs. Blishwick, Cygnus I and Arcturus I's mother.

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. 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.
