**The Lestrange Family** was the surname of an ancient pure-blood wizarding family, originally from France but also with branches in Great Britain, and one of the Sacred Thirty. They were related to the Rosier, Lightwood, Black, Malfoy, Weasley, Wayland, Tonks, and Lupin families. Bellatrix Black married into the family only because it was expected of her to make a respectable pure-blood marriage.

The Lestranges were a very old and wealthy family with a vault at Gringotts Wizarding Bank full of treasure. Like the House of Black, many Lestranges practiced the Dark Arts and believed in the notion of pure-blood supremacy, they disdained Muggles, Muggle-borns, blood traitors, and in some cases, half-bloods. Similar to the Gaunts, and the Blacks they were willing to intermarry with cousins to maintain their purity.

The Lestranges' family emblem was a raven, and their massive family vault was located in Paris, in the Cimetière du Père-Lachaise. Their family tree depicted only the male descendants (females were depicted as flowers without names or faces), something which was noted to be unusual by Leta Lestrange.

The family motto is *"Corvus oculum corvi non eruit"*, which in English means "a crow will not pull out the eye of another crow", which represents how members of the family will not betray each other.
