Changes: Magenta Tripe

Revision as of 08:23, 24 June 2013

"Point me!"
This article is about the matriarch of the House of Black. You may be looking for an experimental artist Magenta Comstock.

Magenta Black (née Tripe) (fl. 19th century) was a pure-blood witch married to the pure-blood wizard, Licorus 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 ancestral home of 12 Grimmauld Place. It is possible that she was Misapinoa, Cygnus I and Arcturus I's mother.^[1]

Etymology

Magenta is a bright pinkish purple colour. Tripe (from French tripe) is a type of edible offal from the stomachs of various farm animals. It is also used in modern English as a fairly polite synonym for nonsense.

Behind the scenes

Another view of Tripe's name on the Black family tree.

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.

Appearances

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film) (Appears on Black family tapestry)
Harry Potter Film Wizardry (Appears on Black family tapestry)
