While it does n’t loom large in the movies , the Sacred 28 is an integral part of the back story , the splendid Potter lore put in place by J.K. Rowling . The story goes something like this : In the thirties a compendium , The Sacred 28,appeared . It was claimed that it lists the 28 pureblood magical crime syndicate .
From Abbott and Black through Yaxley and Weasley , the Sacred 28 was embraced by Voldemort , who , as we all roll in the hay was keen on charming blood remain pure . The Malfoys , of path , fully embrace all the thoroughbred hokum . Here are 10 thing about the sanctified 28 that the flick go out out .
The Potters Were Not On The List
The Potters were certainly purebred . So why did n’t they make the Sacred 28 ? Well , there ’s a morsel of a mystery about that . Best we can fancy out " Potter " is a uncouth muggle name . Some speculate that the compiler but assume with a name like Potter , their bloodline was taint .
It ’s true that , in the beginning , Draco Malfoyviews Harry as on a par with his pureblood ego . Harry tells him what he can do with his opinions . It was reasonably much open warfare between the two after that .
The Weasleys Aren’t Buying It
In spite of being pureblood , the Weasleys only do n’t bribe into the whole " purebloods ca n’t marry outside purebred " rule . Apart from anything else , wizardly families would have almost surely died out if the rule had been strictly adhered to .
After all , Ron marriesHermione , a woman Malfoy called a " Mud Blood " . That ’s wizard address for corrupt roue . Do n’t forget Arthur Weasley ’s fascination with Muggles . In the moving-picture show , he does n’t come right out and say it , but he and his family believe marrying outside pureblood line is a positively proficient thing .
The Thing About Kingsley Shacklebolt
Kingsley Shacklebolt was an outstanding Auror . He was part of the groups of Order of the Phoenix members who rescued Harry from 4 Privet Drive at the beginning of the movie of the same name . The flick really skips over the fact he is completely pureblood . Plus , he was charged with protect the muggle Prime Minister when the Second Wizarding War break out .
Shacklebolt ’s standing in the magical world is really colour over in the movies . He is more or less there in the scope . He and his family loom much big in the Book .
The Malfoys Chose Family Over Voldemort
DuringHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , Part II , the Malfoys can be seen abandoning Voldemort , walk off with Draco in towage . The reason ? As a member of the Sacred 28 , they were determined to make certain that their bloodline continue . If Draco died , they could have kissed bye - bye to the chance of having grandchild .
We see Draco Malfoy at the place at the closing ofDeathly Hallows , Part II , watch his Word on to the Hogwarts Express . What is not mentioned is that Draco married Astoria Greengrass , from another of the Sacred 28 family , producing a boy Scorpius . Also , the books make it clear that Astoria is more resistant of muggles than her in - laws would have like .
How Voldemort Got So Messed Up
Voldemort ’s grandfather was Marvolo Gaunt . He was so rabid about preserving his family line ’s purebred status as the only living descendants of Salazar Slytherin that he rick on Voldemort ’s mother Merope Gaunt , who had fallen in love with a Muggle . Voldemort , a half - origin himself , was the result .
What the movies forget out is that Marvolo Gaunt tantalise and criticise Merope , leave her isolated and afraid . In turn , she pass this gumption of anger and distrust on to her boy , the young Tom Riddle . Voldemort belongs nowhere , allow for him to create a venomous and abuse worldview .
Hermione’s Running Battle With Millicent Bulstrode
InHarry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , we get a brief glimpse of haughty pureblood Millicent Bulstrode . Her family was a well - established member of the Sacred 28 . In the books , you get more of a sense of the scorn thoroughbred Millicent has for Hermione , a Mud Blood . There were a phone number of " encounter ' between the two . In the books , the Bulstrodes were more like the Malfoys and the Blacks than the laid back Weasleys .
The movie did show when Hermione manage to turn herself into a cat with a Polyjuice Potion because she unwittingly used a hair’s-breadth from Millicent ’s kat , instead of Millicent herself . It ’s the variety of shot that movies roll in the hay .
Ollivander Pedigree
Much is made in the movies of Ollivanders Wand Shop in Diagon Alley and its proprietor Garrick Ollivander . The scene inHarry Potter and the Philosopher ’s Stonein which Harry gets up close and personal with scepter for the first meter is endear .
But the movies did not give us much if anything about Ollivander ’s back story . He was a half - blood because his female parent was a Muggle - born witch . And Ollivander became one of the fine wandmakers in the world . His family ( " makers of fine wand since 382 B.C. " ) was clearly one of the sometime of the wizarding families .
The Burkes
We only fuck about the pureblood Burkes from the dark and menacing wizarding shop Borgin and Burkes in the movies . What the movies leave out is that Caractacus Burke was one of its founder . He was also the person Harry saw in the Pensieve buying Salazar Slyerhin ’s locket from Voldemort ’s mother . She was alone , destitute and pregnant at the fourth dimension .
And we all know how cardinal that locket became in the hunting for Horcruxes . In the books , the Burkes are see as unscrupulous and manipulative . And Caractacus was believably worse than most extremity of his family .
The Strange Lestranges
We see an awful lot of Bellatrix Lestrange in the movies . But where on earth was her married man ? Rodolphus Lestrange seems nowhere to be found . In the books , he participated in the torture of Alice and Frank Longbottom . He ended up in Azkaban , get out some fourteen years afterward .
He loomed bombastic in the books during the Second Wizarding War , fighting in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and the Battle of the Seven Potters . After Voldemort was defeated , it was back to Azkaban for Rodolphus . Oh , one other matter : In the Book , Voldemort and Bellatrix have an illegitimate girl named Delphini .
Molly Weasley
We get nothing of Molly Weasley ’s back story in the movies . She was a pureblood Prewett , whose chum fought against Voldemort in the First Wizarding War . They were killed during that War . So fierce were they that it is read that it take five Death Eaters to finish them off .
Molly , the mother of Ron and the rest of the ginger - hairy crew , sure enough displayed a sure level of wildness , especially when she finishes off Bellatrix Lestrange during the Battle of Hogwarts .
