**Bellatrix Lestrange** is the secondary antagonist of the *Harry Potter* series. She is one of the most powerful dark witches in her time and the one to perform the Cruciatus Curse on Neville Longbottom's parents. Bellatrix is Voldemort's most loyal and trusted follower and former love and the mother of their daughter Delphini (Who is the main antagonist of *Harry Potter and the Cursed Child*).

## Background

Bellatrix Black was the daughter of Cygnus Black III and Druella Black (nee Rosier). She had two sisters: Narcissa and Andromeda and had a fairly strained relationship with her cousin, Sirius Black. At eleven, Bella began attending school at Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin. Bellatrix joined the Death Eaters after graduating from Hogwarts. She participated in the torture of Frank and Alice Longbottom.

### Personality

Bellatrix is cruel, evil and vindictive and quite cruel. She is known to be quite psychotic, as she always laughs. She is very loyal to Voldemort, her master, and also kills in his name. She had an obsessive love for her master, and he even had a sexual relationship with her that caused the birth of her daughter, Delphini.
