1
There are so many families in the Harry Potter series, and almost all of them are related in some way.
2
They told us very early on that most pureblood families are related, but when looking closer, I realized it's not just pureblood families, it's almost every character in the series, which is wild.
3
In this video, I'm going to break down the entire family tree in the Wizarding World, and we'll see how over 150 different characters are related.
4
This is completely mental.
5
Completely.
6
The world's mental.
7
We have Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, and the three Peverell brothers, Antioch, Cadmus, and Ignotus, the brothers that go along with the origin of the Deathly Hallows.
8
We know for a fact that they are related, because Cadmus got the Resurrection Stone, which would later be passed down and put in the Gaunt Ring.
9
And that brings us back to Salazar Slytherin.
10
From Slytherin, we have the Gaunt family, first Gormlaith Gaunt and her sister Rianat Gaunt.
11
Rianat Gaunt attaches us to the Sayre family as she married William Sayre, and together they had Azolt Sayre, one of the founders of the American wizarding school Ilvermorny.
12
Azolt would marry a muggle man named James Stewart, and together they would have two daughters while also adopting two boys named Webster and Chadwick Boot.
13
The Boot family being brought on also connects Terry Boot, a Ravenclaw student during Harry's time.
14
Before Azolt got a family of her own, though, her aunt Gormleth Gaunt killed her parents Rhianoc and William Sayre, and ultimately, Gormleth would meet her untimely death as well.
15
Azolt thought that was the end of the Gaunt family, but that was only the end of the American Gaunt family.
16
There was actually one more overseas in England named Corvinus Gaunt, and he's the ancestor of Marvolo Gaunt.
17
Marvolo had two kids, Meripi and Morphin Gaunt, and Meripi would link this family tree to the Muggle family known as the Riddles.
18
She and Tom Riddle Sr. would have Tom Riddle Jr. aka Lord Voldemort.
19
So, so far, we have seven families connecting to one another.
20
Slytherin, Peverell, Gaunt, Boot, Sayre, Steward, and Riddle.
21
Going back up to the three Peverell brothers, Ignotus is the ancestor of Eolanthe Peverell, who would go on to marry Hardwin Potter.
22
Hordwyn Potter's line would eventually lead to Henry Potter, who was the son of Mrs. LeMond.
23
On her deathbed, Mrs. Fleamont asked her son Henry to keep her maiden name alive, so when Henry had a son, he named him Fleamont Potter, combining his mother and father's last names.
24
Fleamont Potter would eventually marry a woman named Euphemia, and together they would have a son named James Potter.
25
James Potter James went on to marry Lily Evans, and together they had a son named Harry Potter.
26
Lily also had a sister named Petunia
27
and she would go on to marry Vernon Dursley and together they had a son named Dudley.
28
So now this adds four families to the mix.
29
The Potters, the Fleamonts, the Evans, and the Dursleys, meaning 11 families have all been connected.
30
Before we go any further with this line though, let's start a new line with the Black family.
31
It starts with 4 family members, Phoebe, Alexia, Edywarus, and Lycoris Black.
32
Of the four of them, only one had children, and that was Lycoris.
33
He married Magenta Stripe, and they had three kids together, Cygnus, Octurus, and Misa Pinoa Black.
34
Misa Pinoa married into the Bilschwick family, adding yet another family into the mix.
35
Meanwhile, Cygnus Black married a woman named Ella Max, and together they had four kids, Eldora, Isla, Phineas Nigellus, who you might know from his portrait in the headmaster's office,
36
and Sirius Black I.
37
Isla went on to marry into However, only one of the four siblings had kids, and that was Phineas Nigellus Black.
38
He married a woman named Ursula Flynn, which connects the Flynn family to this list, who you might remember was the Slytherin Quidditch Captain Marcus Flint's last name.
39
Together, Phineas, Nigellus, and Ursula had five children: Cygnus Black II, Phineas Black II, Sirius Black II,
40
Arcturus Black II, and Belvina Black.
41
Sirius Black went on to marry Hesper Gamp, and together they had three children: Lycorus, Regulus Black I, and Arcturus Black III.
42
Arcturus III married a woman named Melania McMillan, who connects Ernie McMillan, another character during Harry's time.
43
Arcturus III and Melania McMillan had two kids, Orion and Lucretia.
44
Orion Black married Walburga Black, so we have a little bit of incest going on, and together these cousins had a son named Sirius Black III,
45
which yes, is the Sirius from the original series, and his brother Regulus Black II.
46
Both of these brothers died prematurely though, so their line ends here, and we'll come back to Walburga in a second.
47
Let's go up to Phineas Nigelus' kids.
48
Black II.
49
He married Lysandra Yaxley, who eventually relates to Corbin Yaxley during Harry's time.
50
Then, Octubus II and Sirius Black II's brother Cygnus Black II married a witch named Violetta Bolstrode, which connects all these families to Millicent Bolstrode,
51
a small but semi -meaningful character in the original series.
52
"I've already got mine.
53
Millicent Bolstrode.
54
Slytherin." I got this off her robes Cygnus Black II and Violetta Bolstrode had four kids, Marius, Cassiopeia, Pollux, and Doria.
55
Doria married Charles Potter, matching all of these families with the families we went over in the beginning of the video.
56
And they connect even more, but we'll get to that later.
57
Going back to Cygnus II and Violetta's children, the only one of their four children to have kids was Pollux, and he married Irma Crab, which now links the Crab family to every other family.
58
And we of course know the Crab family well, as Vincent Crab was one of Draco's friends, and his father with the same name was a prominent Death Eater.
59
Irma Crab took Pollux's last name Black, and they had three kids: Cygnus Black III, Alphard Black, and their sister Walburga Black,
60
who we already went over as she's the mother of Sirius and Regulus.
61
While Berga's brother Cygnus Black III married Druella Rosier, and yes, that's how you pronounce it.
62
Together, they had three daughters, Narcissa, Andromeda, and Bellatrix Black.
63
Before we go over the three Black sisters though, let's go back to their mother, Druella Rosier.
64
This obviously connects the Rosier family to the rest of the families, and we of course know this family well, as Evan Rosier was a Death Eater in the original series, and in the Fantastic Beasts films,
65
one of Grindelwald's loyal followers was Vinda Rosier.
66
Lucius Malfoy, which adds another huge wizarding family into the mix, and is a family that has many prominent ancestors in Wizarding World history.
67
I actually made a video on their own family tree if you want to check it out.
68
It's linked down below.
69
But anyway, together, Lucius and Narcissa had a son named Draco Malfoy.
70
Draco would later go on to marry Astoria Greengrass, and together they would have a son named Scorpius Malfoy.
71
Meanwhile, Narcissa's sister Bellatrix Black went on to marry Rodolphus Lestrange, marrying her into the Lestrange family, which of course ties us to Lita Lestrange from the Crimes of Grindelwald.
72
It's also worth mentioning the addition of Corvus Lestrange, Leta's brother who drowned as a baby.
73
The Lestrange's family tree is complicated because it only records the men while it has the women be represented as flowers.
74
"My father owned a very strange family tree.
75
It only recorded the men." The women in my family were recorded as flowers.
76
Beautiful.
77
Separate which means it's hard to follow this tree, so we're just gonna leave it at Leta and Corvus being part of the larger family.
78
Narcissa and Bellatrix's sister Andromeda Black also married and had a child.
79
She married a muggle -born named Ted Tonks, much to her family's disapproval.
80
and together they had a daughter named Nymphadora.
81
Nymphadora later went on to marry a man named Remus Lupin, which now brings the Lupin family into the mix, and they had a son named Teddy Lupin.
82
So added to the list of family relations on top of the 11 we already had, we now add 16 more: Black,
83
Tripe, Bilschwick, Hitchens, Flint, Gamp, McMillan, Yaxley, Bulstrode, Crabbe, Rosier,
84
Malfoy, Greengrass, Lestrange, Tonks, and Lupin.
85
That was a lot.
86
So now that brings our total to 27 different families related.
87
Now we're gonna head back up to Lysandra Yaxley as she and Octurus Black II had three children: Sergiela, Cherys, and Caledora.
88
Caledora married Harfan Longbottom, bringing another major family into the mix.
89
Together they had two children named Algie and Augusta Longbottom, who was Neville Longbottom's grandmother and the person who raised him after his parents were attacked.
90
Augusta of course gave birth to Neville's father Frank, and he and a woman named Alice Then, Neville eventually went on to marry Hannah Abbott,
91
a Hufflepuff girl who was actually in their year at Hogwarts.
92
Going back up to Arcturus II and Lysandra's kids, their daughter named Charis married a man named Casper Crouch, adding another big name to the list,
93
and together they had a boy named Barty Crouch Sr. Barty Sr. went on to father his son Barty Crouch Jr., but he killed his father and of course got the Dementor's kiss,
94
meaning that was the end of their line.
95
And the third daughter of Arcturus II and Lysandra was Sadrella Black, and she went on to marry Septimus Weasley, bringing the Weasley clan into the fold.
96
The two had three sons, one of which was Arthur Weasley.
97
Arthur went on to marry Molly Pruitt, bringing the Pruitt family into this.
98
And working backwards for Molly, she had two brothers named Fabian and Gideon, both of whom died fighting for the Order of the Phoenix.
99
We don't know their mother's name, but we do know her sister's name.
100
Aunt Muriel was of course the aunt that was prominent at Bill and Flair's wedding.
101
You knew him at all.
102
Aunt Muriel's brother Ignatius also married Lucretia Black, just adding another connection between the Weasleys and the Blacks.
103
There was also a mention of Ron's great aunt Tessie in the fourth film.
104
I look like my great aunt Tessie.
105
I smell like my great aunt Tessie.
106
However, she was never mentioned in the books, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
107
So now Longbottom, Abbott, Crouch, Weasley, and Pruitt are added to the list of connected families, bringing the total to 32 families.
108
That's insane.
109
Going back to Arthur and Molly Weasley, they had seven kids.
110
Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny.
111
Bill married Fleur Delacour, and together they had three children, Victoire, Dominique, and Louise.
112
George Weasley went on to marry Angelina Johnson, and they had two kids together, Fred, who was named after his deceased uncle, and Roxanne.
113
Ron Weasley went on to marry Hermione Granger, and they had two kids together, Hugo and Rose.
114
And finally, Ginny married Harry Potter, which is actually the second connection the Potters have to this tree.
115
Together, Harry and Ginny had three kids, James, Albus, and Lily.
116
So with that, it adds three more families, as we have the Delacours, the Johnsons, and the Grangers.
117
So altogether, there are 35 different families in the Harry Potter series related.
118
That is just absolutely wild.
119
That's completely mental.
120
- Thank you.
121
There are a few important families that were not connected like the Dumbledores, the Scamanders, and the Love Goods, which I'll go over in a second.
122
But first, let's look at some interesting things to point out.
123
This means that the entire trio is related to Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, Harry and Voldemort are related, Harry and Neville Longbottom are related,
124
and three out of the four Marauders become related to each other as James, Sirius, and Lupin are all connected in some way.
125
Also, the Dursleys are technically related to almost every main character including Voldemort, the Weasleys, the Malfoys, and even Sirius which is funny
126
when you think about Vernon seeing him on the Muggle News and complaining about his hair.
127
Now, the families that weren't connected, a few of them are connected in their own right.
128
For instance, the Goldstein sisters Tina and Queenie become related to the Scamander brothers, Newt and Theseus, because Newt and Tina get married and eventually have a grandson named Ralph Scamander.
129
Ralph later goes on to marry a member of another major family as he married Luna Lovegood, and together they had two kids, Lorcan and Lysander.
130
And with the secrets of Dumbledore, major spoilers coming your way by the way, skip to whatever time is on the screen.
131
Queenie, of course, adds to the family tree by marrying Jacob Kowalski, meaning almost all of the Fantastic Beasts cast is related.
132
This also means that almost the entire cast is related to Luna Lovegood, Xenophilius Lovegood, and Luna's mother Pandora.
133
And the secrets of Dumbledore also expanded on the Dumbledore family tree.
134
They're the one family that can't be connected to any other family.
135
And again, spoiler alert, skip to whatever time is on the screen.
136
We found out that Credence is actually the son of Aberforth and his real name is Aurelius Dumbledore giving Albus a nephew.
137
All in all, it's pretty crazy how tightly knit each family in the wizarding world is.
138
As I said, we were told pretty early on that almost every pureblood family is related in some way, but I don't think I realized how big of a scope that took on until I made this video.
139
Hopefully you guys enjoyed this one, it was certainly fun to make.
140
It took a lot of research, but it was so satisfying to see how all of this panned out.
141
Shoutout to Gandalf117 on Reddit by the way.
142

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
