"Point me!"
This article is about the Black who was disowned for being a blood traitor.. You may be looking for the former headmaster of Hogwarts..

Phineas Black was a pure-blood wizard, the second eldest son of Phineas Nigellus Black and Ursula Flint and brother of Cygnus, Sirius, Belvina and Arcturus. He was disowned for supporting Muggle rights and removed from the Black family tree.^[2]

Behind the scenes

Based on a statement by Horace Slughorn, Phineas may have been a member of the Slytherin House. However, Phineas would have attended in the 1880s or the 1890s, when Slughorn wasn't Potions teacher.
Phineas was named after his father, but ironically, this son became Phineas Nigellus's greatest shame.
On the tapestry from the film Phineas is depicted as a red hat with a black hole. His name is misspelt Phineus on the tapestry, and so is the name of his father.

Etymology

Phinehas was the grandson of Aaron in the Bible. He killed two people. His name is sometimes spelled as Phineas.

Appearances

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