Harry Potter

Don't worry, they are VERY distant cousins.

Okay, but seriously, don't take it too seriously. JK just did an oopsie with the family tree.

sometimes family trees grow closer then what nature intended

in draco indeed is a edgy and a douchebag but didnt have what it need to cross the threshold into a death eater. this is not surprising since many radicalizing comunity are like that: they amplifies your bad behavior already there and then make you chose.

Granted is hard to said if draco have goodness or rather if wasnt so bad.

My read is that it’s because Tom was pushing him due to his misgivings with Lucius. Part of Draco’s breakdown stemmed from realizing how screwed he was if he failed.

Yeah that's where the coward interpretation comes in.

Is he terrified because he doesn't have the heart to really be evil or because he's scared of fucking up and dooming his family?

I mean Draco never does anything heroic whatsoever or faces any consequences for his actions.

He also does TRY to kill Albus.

Since his mom betrayed Voldemort and helped the good guy team, that means it's okay that Draco got away with attempted murder and reckless endangerment of students.

Incest is defined as sexual relations between close family members, i.e siblings, parents or children. Cousin marriage might be frowned upon nowadays but it's not incest, and we don't even know if Harry and Ginny share any ancestors less than five generations back. If this kind of "incest" bothers you, I'm sorry to tell you that you that it's very common, and first-degree cousin marriage was still normal in the west about a century ago.

Actually It doesnt bother me, now that you put it that way. But the way other posters said it did give me the creeps thouugh.

Don't worry we're just messing with you. It's not incest.

You can go back to Rick and Morty for that.

It is funny to think that Harry, Ron and Draco ARE distantly related though.

And more or less live like one county apart from each other.

I deserved that. I had it coming.

I will say that you convinced me not to look into Rick and Morty too much because the idea of it having incest jokes creeps me out.

Like once a season no less.

In book 5,Moody show Harry a photo of the original order of the Phonics members while introducing each one.

IIRC they were 21.

Later in the same chapter, Molly express concern that her family may be in danger for working with order, Lupin try to reassure her that things won't be as bad as the first time, because the Death Eaters do not outnumber the order 20 to 1 as the last time.

21*20=420

I did not read the books in English, though.

And if they indeed were only 40 then that make my actual point-About most of the wizarding world being against them-much stronger.

Short version is there's more Death Eaters to members of Oot P.

Especially since the former is more like a small army and the latter a secret society.

@terumoku: ...Once? Did we see the same show?

Forgot to add at least once a season.

Lupin was very likely exaggerating or counting in auxiliary allies (Rowling did admit she's bad with numbers). Voldemort's briefing to the Death Eaters in the cemetery made it pretty clear what a tight knit group they were. This is somewhat of a pet-peeve of mine simply because of all the fanfics that portray hundreds of expandable Death Eaters, when in canon they were all treated as individuals and their names constantly repeated.

Fair enough, Lupin may be counting the werewolves, the giants and what not.

It makes my point to Charles about Voldemort having no wide support between wizards stronger.

However, I like to note that what we see in the cemetery in book 4 are only the ones who got away.

The majority of the DE were in Azkaban at that point.

The inner circle in Goblet is just that his inner circle. The same book made it clear Death Eaters in the first war operated in a cell structure so they couldn't turn all of each other in, implying there are more outside that circle.

Inner circle and whatever bum they could talk into being a terrorist. And Imperiused pawns.

I must say, the way the last movie depicts the last battle really ruin the atmosphere.

Voldemort, goofy laugh and happy dancing.

Harry embracing Voldemort and jumping from a tower.

Molly suddenly learning a dark spell never seen before.

The book did that battle better.

Thing is, knowing how many Death Eaters there are doesn't mean much without knowing what the population of Wizarding Britain is, and estimates on that are all over the place.

I took Voledmort's "inner circle" as the leaders of the Death Eaters and not all of them.
