In the world of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Delphini was primarily raised by a witch named Euphemia Rowle.
Is this why didn't Narcissa take in Delphini Bellatrix's Daughter? Because at that point the Malfoy's had suffered enough oppression from Lord Voldemort and wanted an easy life. They faced the choice between what is right and what is easy. Narcissa took the easy path and it cost her dearly.
Euphemia Rowle took Delphi in and raised her, allegedly only because she was offered a substantial amount of gold. According to Delphi, Rowle was not fond of her. She kept a pet Augurey and claimed that it cried because it knew Delphi was going to meet a "sticky end".
This book revolves around Albus Severus Potter, the son of the hero of the prior books, Harry Potter. The main villain of this story Delphini Diggory aka Aubrey is the daughter of the villain of the prior books Lord Voldemort or The Dark Lord.
In the play, it is revealed that Delphini is the result of a union between Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange. Rowling confirmed on Twitter that she had named the character and had been involved in the development of the play's story.
The main LGBTQ+ character confirmed by J.K. Rowling is Albus Dumbledore, revealed to be gay and to have had a passionate, intense love relationship with the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in their youth, though this isn't explicitly detailed in the books but rather in later interviews and supplementary materials. While not canon, some fans also interpret other characters like Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, or even Harry Potter as queer, but Dumbledore and Grindelwald are the key confirmed figures.
Page 394 in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban refers to Professor Snape telling the class to turn to that page in their Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA) textbook, which is about werewolves, a deliberate hint that the substitute teacher, Professor Lupin, is one himself, a secret Snape was trying to expose. While the specific text varies slightly by edition, it introduces the topic of werewolves as nocturnal beasts, contrasting with the Red Caps and Hinky-Punks they were learning about, to reveal Lupin's true nature.
There's no single "saddest" death, as fans cite different characters, but Dobby, Sirius Black, Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, and Snape are consistently named among the most heartbreaking due to their profound loyalty, tragic lives, or sudden, impactful losses, with Dobby's selfless sacrifice often topping lists for his pure heart and newfound freedom, and Fred's death devastating his twin George and family, notes Quora and Facebook users https://www.facebook.com/groups/309399756202202/posts/2389613828180774, and Reddit.
We know Noma Dumezweni, though an accomplished actress, was cast as Hermione by Tiffany because she was not the best actress available but the best “non-white” actress” and that all future Cursed Child Hermiones will also be “non-white” in conformity with his casting parameters.
Theodore Nott (b. 1979/1980) was a pure-blood wizard who was a Slytherin student in the same year as Harry Potter at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He came from a family of Death Eaters and supporters of pure-blood supremacy.
In 1943, Tom Riddle, the "Heir of Slytherin", opened the Chamber of Secrets to conduct a purge on Muggle-born students. This resulted in the death of Myrtle Warren, who eventually returned as a ghost. Riddle opened the Chamber again in 1993 through the use of one of his seven Horcruxes, his diary.
Voldemort met Nagini, a Maledictus (a woman cursed to become a snake), during his exile in Albania after his first defeat, likely in the forests there, where she was already a massive snake. He found her while possessing snakes to survive, and their connection grew due to his Parseltongue ability and her unique ability to sustain him, eventually leading him to make her a Horcrux by killing Bertha Jorkins in 1994.
He trusted snape because snape had proven himself many times before. Voldemort took anyone that was magical and had his own ideas in common during his first crusade.
Following Dumbledore's death, Fawkes sang his Lament over the grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and then flew away, never to be seen again. His tail feathers were the cores of the two twin wands which were held by Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter.
Her mother accidentally died while experimenting with spells when Luna was nine and Luna was raised by her father, editor of the magazine The Quibbler, in a rook-like house near the village of Ottery St Catchpole in Devon. She was the niece of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy and the cousin of Draco Malfoy.
Snape explained in Half Blood Prince that he didn't know Voldemort was with Quirrell. Snape explained to Voldemort that had he known, he would have helped Quirrell retrieve the Sorcerer's Stone (Philosopher's Stone for my English friends). Snape genuinely thought that Quirrell was trying to steal it for himself.
Flick Miles (born c. 1992) is an actress who was Emma Watson's body double when playing Hermione Granger in the first three Harry Potter films.
The names Cygnus, Arcturus, and Regulus have also occurred at least twice each. Notably, however, only one Sirius (the subject's great-grandfather) left a line of descent, which ended with the youngest Sirius, as he did not have children. The Black family believed strongly in pure-blood elitism.
Snape's obsessive love for Lily fed his equally obsessive hatred for James, and meant he would stop at nothing ' even arranging the murder of her child ' to possess Lily. Voldemort tried to spare Lily, and may have agreed with Snape, before the attack took place, to let her live.
In both the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book and film, Hedwig dies during the Battle of the Seven Potters. In the book, Hedwig is hit by a random Avada Kedavra and instantly dies. In the movie, Hedwig is killed because she was trying to protect Harry.
George's twin brother, Fred Weasley, was killed when the Death Eaters attacked Hogwarts Castle, so George's life was likely significantly different after Voldemort's defeat. The two were hardly seen without the other before, and neither the books nor movies talk much of how George handled losing his partner in crime.
While the Harry Potter books themselves feature themes of fighting prejudice and acceptance, the question of whether the franchise supports LGBTQ+ issues is complex, largely due to author J.K. Rowling's public statements and activism, which have been criticized as transphobic by LGBTQ+ advocates and even some Harry Potter stars like Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, leading to a split between the books' themes and the author's personal views.
"Look at me... you have your mother's eyes." – Severus Snape.

"In choosing the number of the concealed platform that would take young witches and wizards to boarding school, I decided that it would have to be a number between those of the Muggle platforms - therefore, it was clearly a fraction.
