Changes: Regulus Black I

Revision as of 17:16, 25 December 2012

"Point me!"
This article is about the son of Sirius Black (1877 – 1952). You may be looking for Regulus Arcturus Black.

Regulus Black (1906 – 1959) was a pure-blood wizard, the youngest child of Sirius Black II and Hesper Gamp and brother of Arcturus Black III and Lycoris. Regulus never married and never had children.^[1]

Behind the scenes

Based on a statement by Horace Slughorn, Regulus may have been a member of the Slytherin House. However, he attended Hogwarts c. 1917 - 1924, when Slughorn may not have been Potions master.
Regulus was the granduncle of another Black called Regulus.
On the Black family tree tapestry in the film version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Regulus I is depicted more like a woman than a man.

Etymology

Members of the Black family and their history seem to have made a tradition of naming their children after stars and constellations. In Latin, regulus means "little king" and was one term for a basilisk. As a name, it has also been applied to the star Alpha Leonis, which is situated at the heart of the lion in the constellation Leo. Regulus was also the family name of a Roman general, Marcus Atilius Regulus, who was known for his honour and self-sacrifice.^[2] Arcturus is also a star, in the constellation Boötes. It is derived from Ancient Greek meaning "bear guardian".
