Phineas Nigellus Black

I won't say everything because it's way too much, but let me just read a little bit about him.

Phineas Nigellus Black was a pureblood wizard born to the House of Black.

He had three siblings, Sirius, Elladora, and Lola Black.

The siblings were raised in a household that strongly believed in the importance of blood purity, and as such, Phineas carried a grudge against muggle-borns, whom he called mudbloods and considered simple." At the age of 11, Phineas Nigellus began to go to Hogwarts.

I thought his last name was Nigellus.

I know because that is true that they often just say Phineas Nigellus.

But it is Phineas Nigellus Black.

He had four more kids after that first one.

Hermione has a pretty immediate reaction to this news though.

And she runs to remove the portrait of Phineas Nigellus black that is in grim old place.

And we know that he has a brother portrait in the headmaster's office.

And so it would have been pretty bad for.

I mean, and I was just going to say it's so cute.

They think they're coming back here.

And but also she says that Phineas Nigellus is only going to see the inside of her bag if he tries to spy on them.

But what can he hear? Right.

What?

F- Phineas Nigellus Black?

Who's that?

You're doing some...

From that point forward, the hat would always be able to prioritize blood purity.

And as Phineas Nigellus says, "Given the choice, we Slytherins will always choose to save our own necks." For someone who lost their wife to a witch hunt, saving one's neck takes quite a different perspective.

But then there's theory number three, which is a bit more magical in nature, which immediately makes it my favorite.

This may come as a surprise, but I quite like magic.

Yeah.

But I think, I think it's Phineas who says, you know-

We're loyal but not stupid.

Exactly.

Yeah

...

Phineas Nigellus' way of thinking and, like, the Ba- the Black trio sisters'-

Yeah
