"Sanguini, stay here! Here, have a pasty."
— Worple to Sanguini at the Slug Club Christmas party[src]

Sanguini was a male vampire who attended a Slug Club Christmas party during Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was the guest of Eldred Worple. The tall, emaciated man had dark shadows under his eyes and looked bored with the party until a nearby group of girls attracted his attention. Worple tried to distract him by shoving a pasty into his hand.[1]

Etymology[]

The name Sanguini most likely originates from the Latin word sanguineus, meaning "of blood", "bloody", "blood-coloured", or "bloodthirsty" - a reference to his vampirism. The Latin word sanguini is the dative singular of the noun sanguis, "blood", and means literally "to blood" or "for blood". Other possible influences derived from this Latin root include French sang, Spanish sangre and Italian sangue, meaning "blood", and the English words exsanguination, "to bleed out", and sanguine, describing a blood colour or having an active, warm and lively circulation or temper.
