Harry Potter’s Grandparents: A Look into the
Featured Author: J. K. Rowling By STEPHEN KING read the first novel in the Harry Potter series, ''Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,'' in April 1999 and was only moderately impressed. But in April 1999 I was pretty much all right. Two months later I was involved in a serious road accident that necessitated a long and painful period of recuperation. During the early part of this period I read Potters 2 and 3 (''Chamber of Secrets,'' ''Prisoner of Azkaban'') and found myself a lot more than moderately wowed. In the miserably hot summer of '99, the Harry Potters (and the superb detective novels of Dennis Lehane) became a kind of lifeline for me. During July and August I found myself getting through my unpleasant days by aiming my expectations at evening, when I would drag my hardware-encumbered leg into the kitchen, eat fresh fruit and ice cream and read about Harry Potter's adventures at Hogwarts, a school for young wizards (motto: ''Never tickle a sleeping dragon''). For that reason, I awaited this summer's installment in J. K. Rowling's magical saga with almost as much interest as any Potter-besotted kid. I had enjoyed the first three, but had read the latter two while taking enough painkillers to levitate a horse. This summer, that's not the case. I'm relieved to report that Potter 4 -- ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'' -- is every bit as good as Potters 1 through 3. It's longer, though. ''Goblet'' is as long as ''Chamber'' and ''Prisoner'' combined. Is it more textured than the first three? More thought-provoking? Sorry, no. Are such things necessary in a fantasy-adventure aimed primarily at children and published in the lush green heart of summer vacation? Of course not. What kids on summer vacation want -- and probably deserve -- is simple, uncomplicated fun. ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'' brings the fun, and not just in stingy little buckets. At 734 pages, ''Goblet'' brings it by the lorry load. The most remarkable thing about this book is that Rowling's punning, one-eyebrow-cocked sense of humor goes the distance. At 700-plus pages, one should eventually tire of Blast-Ended Skrewts, Swedish Short-Snout dragons and devices like the Quick-Quotes Quill (a kind of magical tape recorder employed by the satisfyingly repugnant Daily Prophet reporter Rita Skeeter), but one never does. At the least this reader did not. Perhaps that's because Rowling
Harry Potter raised by Grandparents
Harry Potter was a wizard who started attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1991 and was sorted into Gryffindor. Biography[]Early Life[]Harry was born on July 31st 1980 at Godric's Hollow, in England. Around the same time, came a prophecy about a boy born at the end of July, who'd have the power to defeat Lord Voldemort. This made his parents decide to hide his son in case the Dark Lord would ever come for him, and Harry spent most of his infancy hiding in the Potter cottage.Once Voldemort had marked the Potter family as the one whose son would be able to kill him, Albus Dumbledore had suggested the Potters to go into hiding using the Fidelius Charm. The family had asked Sirius Black to be their Secret Keeper, but he thought it would be too obvious and suggested them to choose Peter Pettigrew. Unfortunately for them, Pettigrew turned out to be a Death Eater and would reveal their location to Voldemort barely a week later. Voldemort had found the Potters. Entering the house, he murdered Harry's father, James with ease, as he unfortunately didn't have his wand and quickly found Lily and Harry. Lily was killed protecting her son, causing Harry to survive the Killing Curse thanks to her mother's love, which caused a barrier that protected him. The curse backfired and Voldemort lost his powers and physical form. After this attack, Harry would be known as The Boy who Lived.Following the attack, Rubeus Hagrid rescued Harry from his now destroyed house, and was told by Dumbledore to take him to his maternal aunt and uncle, Petunia and Vernon Dursley. Hagrid met up with Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall at Privet Drive on November 1st 1980 and left the boy with the Dursley. Life with the Dursley, would turn out to be a life full of hatred and abuse for Harry, as he was forced to sleep in a basement, constantly ignored and bullied by his cousin Dudley, due to the Dursleys fearing magic.During the Main Character's first year, Dumbledore would confirm to the students that the youngHarry potter's grandparents - Fandom

It’s important to remember the ongoing controversial statements by the creator of the Harry Potter franchise. CBR supports the hard work of industry professionals on properties fans know and love, and the wider world of Harry Potter that fans have adopted as their own. You can find CBR’s continuing coverage on Rowling here. The Harry Potter series is known for its many lovable, relatable, and entertaining characters, many of whom have become pop culture icons over the years. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are considered to be some of the best in both literature and film and will continue to impact Wizarding World admirers for years to come. Some Harry Potter characters, however, seem to have rubbed fans the wrong way for one reason or another and frequently get listed as the saga's most hated characters. Whether it is because they are particularly annoying, odd, or simply terrible people with no redeeming qualities, some Harry Potter characters will never manage to get on the fans' good side. Updated by Jordan Iacobucci on March 2, 2024: The Harry Potter franchise is officially coming back in a brand new Max series adapting the books in greater depth than the original films. However, for many fans, the eight original Harry Potter films will forever be the best adaption of J.K. Rowling's books. As beloved as the film franchise was, many of the characters consistently drive the fanbase crazy, standing out as the most hated personalities in the wizarding world of Harry Potter. 20 Mundungus Fletcher Was An Immoral Coward Related 15 Most Dangerous Magical Creatures In Harry Potter While Dobby the house-elf is wholesome and friendly in Harry Potter, many magical creatures are as dangerous and powerful as Voldemort. Actor Known For First Appeared In Andy Linden Oliver Twist Order of the Phoenix Despite being a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Mundungus was selfish to a cruel extent. He cared more about petty theft and profiteering, even during dark times like Sirius' death. He was never interested in helping Harry, Ron, or Hermione, and only became a part of the Order because of his debt to Dumbledore. Mundungus's worst crime was abandoning Mad-Eye Moody during the Battle of the Seven Potters, which led to the death of the Auror. Mundungus had no remorse for his actions either, which made fans find him annoying and hateful, though he isn't quite as hated as certain other pure evil characters in the Harry Potter franchise. 19 Barty Crouch Jr. Was A Purely Evil Death Eater Actor Known For First Appeared In David Tennant Doctor Who Ahsoka Good Omens Jessica Jones Goblet of Fire There was no redeeming quality about Barty Crouch Jr., who seemed toHarry Potter's Grandparents - Fandom

2025-04-20When he died. Salazar Slytherin's portrait still remains at Hogwarts.Tom Riddle[] File:Many faces of Riddle crop.jpg Tom Riddle Tom Marvolo Riddle (31 December 1926 - 2 May 1998), later known as Lord Voldemort, was the most powerful Dark Wizard in the history of the wizarding world. He was born to Tom Riddle Sr., a wealthy Muggle who abandoned his wife and unborn child, and Merope Gaunt, a pure-blood witch descended from Salazar Slytherin who died shortly after childbirth. Riddle died by the conclusion of the Battle of Hogwarts at age 71, which led to the Slytherin family, as well as the Riddle family and Gaunt family, to become extinct.Other families[] File:Toujours Pur.jpg The related House of Black. "The pure-blood families are all interrelated. If you're only going to let your sons and daughters marry pure-bloods your choice is very limited; there are hardly any of us left."—Sirius Black[src]The Slytherin family, like many of the pure-blood families, had some relation to many other families in the wizarding world. The Peverells, Gaunts, Blacks, Malfoys, Potters, Weasleys, Prewetts, and other families are all linked to one another through bloodlines and intermarriage.The only known direct descendants from Salazar Slytherin were the Gaunts, who for the most part shared their ancestor's beliefs in the purity of wizard blood. They also spoke in Parseltongue between themselves. Tom Marvolo Riddle was the last descendant of the Gaunt family and spoke Parseltongue as well.The Gaunt family was also descended from the Peverells, although it is unknown if one of the two infamous bloodlines preceded the other or if they simply merged at some prior point.Heirlooms[]The family held onto Salazar Slytherin's Locket for many generations, and in later years Marvolo Gaunt was in possession of a signet ring passed on from his Peverell ancestors. However, the locket left the family when Merope sold it to Borgin and Burkes in order to support herself while she was pregnant. It later came into the possession of Hepzibah Smith, whom a teenage Tom Marvolo Riddle killed and stole the locket from. Riddle eventually turned both artefacts into horcruxes; the locket was stolen from its hiding place by Regulus Black and later destroyed by Ron Weasley, while the ring was destroyed by Albus Dumbledore with Godric Gryffindor's Sword. The ring also contained the Resurrection Stone. wooowowooEtymology[]Slytherin may refer to the words "sly" as well as "slithering", which is the form of locomotion of snakes, possibly referring to their rare ability to talk to snakes called parseltongue.Appearances[]Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (First appearance)Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (film)Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (video game)Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (First identified as Slytherin family)Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
