Tonight in London, the Black Family Tree that Harry Potter author JK Rowling sketched and donated to Book Aid International was on display for the public to preview before tomorrow's auction. A report by a fan who attended the preview is now available online, with additional names and details that were previously withheld.
Here's a tidbit of the fan report regarding those seven names that were burned-off -- the "black sheep", as mentioned in Order of the Phoenix (numbered to match with those marks on this image of the tree):
The fan report, with a full listing of the other members of the Black family, is now available at HP Lexicon
. For additional information regarding tomorrow's auction of this JK Rowling sketch, please visit Bloomsbury Auctions.

One of the more interesting articles that I have read. I love finding detailed histories especially of family lines. It means that the author put time and effort into developing these characters.

It's all so interesting, I'd give so much to own it. I find it really interesting looking at family background, and geaneology - fictional or not!

Family trees are so interesting to me, but this one with all the repeating names and marrying in the family, well, it goes beyond interesting into fascinating!! It explains a lot about Sirius' mother's attitude and all the muck about pure blood issues. I mean, after reading about this and now looking at it, I think I would rather not be pure blood if my family tree looked like that!!! Of course look at the name I pick for myself, after all, Tonks, and this is her family tree, even though she's invisible!!

This is very cool... The family tree isn't that weird until you get to Sirius' parents... (his grandparents were cousins in case you didn't catch that!!! :) I could never marry anyone who shares the same great grandparents I do. (their grandfathers were brothers, their fathers cousins!) I guess at least Sirius and his brother were a third generation of imbreeding so it's not as bad as it could have been!!! :)
Toujours Pur... interesting saying and definitely representative of how they feel...

I knew that the Weasleys were somehow tied into all of this. Afterall they are a pure blood family. There are not that many full pure blood families left around so there is bound to be some inter-mingling.

I love family trees they're pretty interesting. I like the Weasley and Black relation it's a great twist in the story. It must be complicated to make up the tree, it goes on forever.

Great information. It's too bad the House of Black was so judgemental. Really, to disown someone for marrying into the Weasley family. They should have felt privileged.
