Bellatrix Lestrange (née Black) is a fictional character in the Harry Potter book series written by J. K. Rowling. She evolved from an unnamed periphery character in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire into a major antagonist in subsequent novels.
Born as Bellatrix Black, Bellatrix married into the Lestrange family, meaning she and Leta aren't related by blood. That makes Leta related to Bellatrix's husband, Rodolphus Lestrange, although that connection is no easier to find.
Bellatrix was born into the Black family, so it may be obvious to some fans that she got married at some point, given her surname. But not much information is given about her husband, Rodolphus Lestrange, in the book — and he's not a character in the movies — so it's easy to forget the witch was ever married.
Few names are as hated as that of Bellatrix Lestrange née Black. She was one of Voldemort's leading lieutenants, a warrior with no heart, leaving behind her a string of broken lives.
Most notably, his first cousin Bellatrix Lestrange (née Black) considered herself Voldemort's most loyal servant. Her sister Narcissa (another of Sirius' first cousins) married Lucius Malfoy, himself a renowned Dark wizard instrumental to Voldemort's rise.
If Bellatrix managed to muster affection for anyone other than Voldemort, it was her younger sister (even at the height of the Second Wizarding War, Bellatrix and Narcissa called each other Cissy and Bella, no doubt childhood nicknames they'd given each other).
She married Rodolphus Lestrange after leaving Hogwarts "because it was expected of her" to marry a pure-blood. However, Rowling stated in an interview that Bellatrix truly loved Voldemort.
The top five surnames remain Williams, Johnson, Smith, Jones, and Brown. Other popular names include Davis, Jackson, Robinson, Washington, and Harris.
Bellatrix is the eldest Black sister and is extremely similar to the first brother in that she is obsessed with power. From a young age, she had a fascination with the Dark Arts. As she grew, this fascination turned to obsession, and she becomes one of the most infamous Death Eaters.
Draco had several reasons for lying to Bellatrix, including the fact that he was never a bad person. Moreover, he no longer found working for the Dark Lord appealing and hated how Voldemort treated his family. He did not intend to harm anyone and believed Harry was the only person capable of defeating Voldemort.
Bellatrix used a powerful "love potion" on Voldemort and they have sex while he is temporarily obsessed with her. She then uses obliviate on him while he sleeps (you know, he falls asleep after his post-sex cigarette) and tells everyone that the baby is her and her husband's.
The screenplay written by JKR herself made it very clear that it was to both Theseus and Newt.
I was watching Order of the Phoenix and Harry says Voldemort's name then Bellatrix says "You dare speak his name. You filthy half blood!". She calls him filthy while as the man she serves is a half blood also.
She meets young Albus Potter and leads him to believe she is the niece of Amos Diggory, and cousin to the long-dead Cedric Diggory. But in the play's third act, Delphi reveals herself to be the daughter of Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange.
As Bellatrix and Voldemort were both killed in the Battle and Bellatrix's husband Rodolphus was imprisoned at Azkaban, Delphi was raised by Euphemia Rowle, a Death Eater.
Bellatrix in The Department of Mysteries. In the Order of The Phoenix,Dumbledore's Army goes to find Sirius but Death Eaters are there,Lucius,Bellatrix,etc. Harry says the word "Voldemort" and Bellatrix calls harry a "Filthy Half-Blood!".
The Malfoys are related to the Black family through Narcissa (a first cousin of Sirius Black, Harry's godfather), which makes Draco a nephew of both Bellatrix Lestrange and Andromeda Tonks. Draco is also Nymphadora Tonks' first cousin through their mothers.
Harry, returning to the school, looks into the Great Hall and sees Lupin and Tonks lying among the dead. While this is not mentioned in the book, the author has mentioned in an interview since its publication that Tonks was killed by her aunt Bellatrix Lestrange.
Note: JK Rowling also released a family tree for the Black Family that gave us a birth year for Bellatrix, 1951 (9 years older than Snape's 1960). This would've made it impossible for the two to have attended Hogwarts together.
Quick…what's the most common last name in the U.S? If you guessed Smith you are correct. According to an analysis by 24/7 Wall Street, the surname Smith occurs slightly more than 828 times per 100,000 people in the U.S., or about 2.442 million times.

His reaction to Bella's death was akin to his reaction at the loss of the Cup, which was when he realised that his own immortality was jeopardised amidst war and his own death could have been near.
She stared Bellatrix down and challenged her to a one-on-one duel. Molly Weasley had hit Bellatrix Lestrange straight in the heart with an unspecified spell and killed her on the spot. Since Avada Kedavra is an unforgivable curse, many fans have argued that it is not what Molly used.
Bellatrix Lestrange Killed her own cousin, Sirius Black: She killed Sirius (who was her cousin) during the battle at the Department of Mysteries. She was remorseless and was cackling in glee after she had murdered Sirius.
