But a little bit for some of you, too!
So the Monday morning after Deathly Hallows -- actually the Tuesday, because I didn't go to work that Monday -- I get to work and what's on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ellen_fremedon's whiteboard but a big family-tree type diagram with no names. It also bore the disclaimer "Some of this, of course, is entirely speculative."
It looked like this:
(Click the image for a full-sized version. Even then, you might -- as I did -- have to zoom in for the full-size to completely take effect.)
Of course it doesn't take too much looking to realize you're looking at some sort of HP family tree. The Weasleys toward the bottom left-hand corner are a big clue. :-) Ellen told me she had been trying to see how many characters she could legitimately fit onto a single family tree. We agree that "legitimately" might be a little generous, but see above re: entirely speculative.
So I made Ellen this chart! (Diamonds, because the chart program inexplicably didn't have triangles.) And I have a list, which, as soon as I get her to remind me of the names I've forgotten, I'll also put up; but in the meantime, want to play? (Alas, unless Ellen has one to offer, there is no prize for getting the most correct answers.)

There's lots more Black Family stuff here: http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizards/blackfamily.html
Also, the Peverells - Antioch, Cadmus & Ignotus ... Cadmus was an ancestor of Marvolo Gaunt, as was Salazar Slytherin. Ignotus was an ancestor of James Potter.

Let's see ...
Oh, 18 is Walburga Black. Orion doesn't have a number.
But bugger me if I see anything else. Is it typos or actual wrong names? I admit the order of the Prewett and Weasley twins might be backwards. Other than that, I can't find anything I think needs fixing.
I am more than a bit like Hermione, you know. I can't stand not getting 100 percent (or more) on every quiz! Do let us know when the real answers are posted!

Strictly speaking, neither #18 nor her husband actually has a name, either. See above re: Not Canon. :-) But, yes, what I was going for was the fact that #18 is a woman.
Look again at the image, though; I've fixed two things, one an error Ellen made and one a thing she had that I'd inadvertently left out.

You and Ellen are ginormous geeks and I love you.
