A magical inheritance: the symbolism of objects in the wizarding world

## Sirius Black and Grimmauld Place

[Sirius](https://www.wizardingworld.com/features/chapter-that-made-us-fall-in-love-with-sirius-black) inherited Grimmauld Place – along with its collection of dark objects and his mother’s portrait – because he was the last surviving Black. This was despite deliberately cutting ties with his family, running away at sixteen and later joining the Order of the Phoenix to work against Voldemort even as his younger brother, Regulus, joined the Death Eaters.

All of which is to say that, in the Black family, inheritance followed a specific path, regardless of where that path led. Dumbledore later confirmed this, telling Harry: *‘Black family tradition decreed that the house was handed down the direct line, to the next male with the name of Black.’*

This direct line was broken when Sirius died and was able to will the house to Harry, but if we assume the Blacks were typical of so-called ‘sacred’ wizarding world families obsessed with blood-status, then inheritance seems to have been focused on upholding established patriarchal norms. The fact they followed this strict hierarchy is not surprising when you think about other Black family behaviours: beheading house-elves when they died, the conviction that to be a Black ‘made you practically royal’, the insistence on only marrying pure-bloods. 

So when you really look at it, the way Sirius extracted himself from his family was pretty remarkable. And while he may have hated being back in Grimmauld Place, his inheritance of that house meant he was able to leave it to Harry, which broke a lot more than an old family tradition: it ended the Black’s pure-blood line of inheritance, for good.

## Harry’s Invisibility Cloak

Harry might have inherited a whole house from his godfather, but his father’s [Invisibility Cloak](https://www.wizardingworld.com/features/7-times-harrys-invisibility-cloak-came-in-handy) was something else. When it was later revealed as the third Deathly Hallow – a cloak ‘that really and truly renders the wearer completely invisible, and endures eternally, giving constant and impenetrable concealment, no matter what spells are cast at it', to use Xenophlius Lovegood’s description – it became clear that the Invisibility Cloak he first used to sneak around Hogwarts held great significance. It meant Harry was related to Ingotus Peverell, the cloak’s original owner and one of the three brothers immortalised in *The Tales of Beetle the Bard*. It gave him, a boy who spent his formative years with Muggles, access to a wizarding world history that was literally the stuff of legend. It made him the true possessor of one of the three Hallows, a set of magical objects so steeped in mythology even Dumbledore was once obsessed by them.

So it’s probably not surprising that when Harry discovered the Hallows and realised he owned one he, too, became briefly obsessed. Reckless, even (see: shouting out Voldemort’s name when talking about the first Hallow – the Elder Wand – forgetting it was Taboo, and therefore getting himself, Ron and Hermione captured by Snatchers.) But as the Horcrux hunt continued to demand more and more, Harry soon let go of his Hallows obsession. There was even a moment when he possessed all three Hallows but in the end, the Invisibility Cloak was the only one he chose to keep. Because he understood that only the cloak was truly his.

## The Gaunt family ring (including the Resurrection Stone)

Harry wasn’t the only Peverell ancestor to possess a Hallow without any knowledge of its true significance. 

Voldemort’s grandfather Marvolo Gaunt lived in squalor but prided himself on his ancestry, and particularly prized the objects that underscored his family’s pure-blood status. One such object was [a ring bearing what Gaunt believed was the Peverell coat of arms](https://www.wizardingworld.com/features/magical-properties-and-defences-of-voldemorts-horcruxes), which could also have been the symbol of the Deathly Hallows and certainly contained the second Deathly Hallow: the Resurrection Stone. Now, wizarding world history is long and, as Sirius once told Harry, all the pure-blood families were interrelated, so perhaps it shouldn’t have been a surprise to discover Voldemort and Harry were both descended from the Peverells, but it was an interesting connection. 

Still, as with so many of the strange similarities between them, the way Voldemort and Harry treated those family heirlooms showed how different they were. Harry chose to keep and use his Invisibility Cloak, eventually passing it down to his son, James, as we learned in Cursed Child. On the other hand, Voldemort, apparently not aware of the Resurrection Stone, prized the ring solely for its value and status as a Peverell artefact. He stole it from his uncle Morfin, then ensured Morfin was imprisoned for the deaths of the Riddles, Voldemort’s Muggle family. And once he had the ring he didn’t put it away to treasure as an ancestral heirloom. Oh no. He turned it into a Horcrux. 

Even if Gaunt would never willingly have given his half-Muggle grandson his most treasured possession, it’s clear Voldemort valued the ring for the same reasons. He saw it as a symbol of his connection to the Peverells, and that was important because it gave him an established lineage.

Harry Potter grabs the Slytherin locket from the cave.

a-magical-inheritance-the-symbolism-of-objects-in-the-wizarding-world-text-section-2

## Slytherin’s locket 

Gaunt’s other prized possession was a locket that once belonged to another ancestor, Salazar Slytherin. As with the ring, Gaunt treasured it *‘…just as much as his son, and rather more than his daughter’*, as Dumbledore told Harry.

And again, Voldemort followed his grandfather’s lead. He revered the ring as a high-status item. Once again, it connected him directly to someone he viewed as an illustrious ancestor – in this case, the founder of Slytherin house. 

But the locket caused Voldemort significantly more trouble than the ring. After his mother, Merope, stole it from his grandfather and sold it to Borgin and Burkes, the locket was bought by a witch called Hepzibah Smith to add to her collection of rare artefacts – she also owned Helga Hufflepuff’s cup, which her family apparently couldn’t wait to get their hands on. And as soon as Voldemort heard the tale, he couldn’t wait to get his hands on both artefacts, adding Hufflepuff’s cup to his Horcrux collection, as he did with the Slytherin locket he saw as rightfully his.

And so, for a while there were two Gaunt-owned family heirlooms containing a piece of Voldemort’s soul knocking about. We don’t know exactly what happened to the locket after Ron used the Sword of Gryffindor to destroy its horrible Horcrux soul, but we doubt Voldemort would ever have passed it on in the way Harry passed his Invisibility Cloak onto James.

## Lucius Malfoy’s Dark Arts collection

As one of Voldemort’s chief Death Eaters (at least, while the going was good), Lucius Malfoy shared his master’s love of a dark object, although he didn’t really treat Voldemort’s Horcruxes with due reverence. Of course, he probably didn’t know the diary he slipped in amongst Ginny Weasley’s books in *Chamber of Secrets* contained a sliver of his master’s soul, but for a man his son would later (in *Cursed Child*) call *‘a true collector... of Dark Magic’*, he was a little cavalier with some items in his possession.

Perhaps that’s because Lucius Malfoy was in no doubt about his inheritance. He didn’t need objects to underscore his pure-blood lineage, he seemingly liked to collect them for their own sake. After all, if Mr Borgin’s mutterings were to be believed, Malfoy Manor was stuffed as full of dark arts objects as the Black’s home, albeit perhaps a little less cluttered.

It’s interesting, then, to think that without Lucius Malfoy’s collection of dark artefacts his son, Draco, might never have been able to team up with his old enemy, Harry, to rescue their sons and prevent the return of Voldemort. Because in *Cursed Child*, Lucius Malfoy’s illegally-owned Time Turner enabled Draco, Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron to travel back to 1981 and save the wizarding world. Now, what would Voldemort say about that?

## Ron Weasley’s chess set

Like the Blacks and the Malfoys, the Weasleys were one of those old, established, wizarding world families. But unlike the Blacks and the Malfoys, the Weasleys did not care a jot about blood status, and their house was not stuffed full of dark artefacts (unless you count some of those Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes products.)

But that is not to say the Weasleys didn’t pass items down within the family. On the contrary, Ron arrived at Hogwarts with inherited items coming out of his ears: Bill’s old robes, Charlie's old wand, Percy’s old rat (ahem) and his [grandfather’s old wizard chess set](https://www.wizardingworld.com/features/how-ron-weasleys-wizard-chess-match-showed-his-true-potential). He had issues with some of these hand-me-downs, it’s true, but the skills he developed playing with his family’s chess set meant he was able to take on Professor McGonagall’s giant chess game at the end of *Philosopher’s Stone*, allowing Harry to eventually find and recover the Philosopher’s Stone and securing fifty points for Gryffindor in the process.

Chess sets aside, the Weasleys didn’t have an abundance of valuable magical objects to pass on, but Ron did inherit some pretty significant things from his family. A feeling of belonging, a sense of justice, and an attitude that said everybody was welcome, no matter what their blood status. These weren’t life-altering objects or Hallowed items, but without Ron (and, obviously, Ginny)’s Weasley inheritance, it’s fair to say Harry’s life in the wizarding world would have been much poorer.

## The Ministry of Magic vs Albus Dumbledore

*‘Dumbledore’s name is mud with the Ministry these days…’*

So said Fred in *Order of the Phoenix*. And the reason Dumbledore’s name was mud? Cornelius Fudge, the then-Minister for Magic himself. 

From the moment Fudge turned up to cart Hagrid off to Azkaban in *Chamber of Secrets*, it was clear he and Dumbledore were not on the same page, but the real line in the sand came when he refused to accept Voldemort’s return after the death of Cedric Diggory. Fudge’s behaviour from then on caused real problems for the wider Wizarding World, and damaged his reputation so severely he was eventually forced to resign. If Fudge had listened to Dumbledore, Voldemort’s Death Eaters may not have escaped Azkaban when they did, and Harry’s version of events would have been believed much earlier, giving him vital support when he needed it.

And Fudge was not the only Ministry official to turn against Dumbledore. His successor, Rufus Scrimgeour, fell out with Dumbledore within hours of his appointment, largely because Dumbledore refused to arrange a meeting between Scrimgeour and Harry. And of course, there was the whole Ministry-interfering-at-Hogwarts thing – otherwise know as [Dolores Umbridge](https://www.wizardingworld.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/dolores-umbridge) – but the less said about that, the better.

Still, as feuds go it was pretty one-sided. Dumbledore repeatedly offered his opinions to the Ministry, and they never took him seriously. But given the damage Fudge in particular wreaked just because he didn’t want to admit Dumbledore was right, it’s up there.

## Queenie Goldstein vs Jacob Kowalski (for a while)

We’re very happy this very sad disagreement didn’t create a lasting rift between *Fantastic Beasts*’ [Queenie Goldstein and her later husband, Jacob Kowalski](https://www.wizardingworld.com/features/why-we-cant-help-but-root-for-jacob-and-queenie), but for a while it looked pretty dark. In *Crimes of Grindelwald*, Queenie was so taken with Gellert Grindelwald’s promises of a better world for witches and wizards that would apparently mean she could be with Jacob – who, as a Muggle, she was forbidden from marrying due to the Magical Congress of the United States of America’s strict rules – that she ended up following Grindelwald, even though that decision ultimately led her away from Jacob. Thankfully she later realised what Grindelwald and his followers were really about, and she and Jacob were eventually married. But it demonstrated just how manipulative Grindelwald could be.

## Harry Potter vs the Dursleys

The relationship between Harry and his nearest relatives, the Dursleys, was a festering saga of resentment, dislike and sometimes out-and-out nastiness. Harry was treated badly right from the beginning, and even if we did later get a hint as to why Aunt Petunia harboured such negative feelings towards the Wizarding World, it was never an excuse. Perhaps she felt envious of her sister, Lily, when Lily went off to Hogwarts after she’d been rejected, and perhaps she felt left behind as Lily delighted everyone with magical skills Petunia would never possess, but that envy solidified into something not very pleasant, and it didn’t warrant the serious lack of warmth and welcome Petunia showed her only nephew. They housed him in a cupboard, for goodness’ sake.

But if Petunia was lacking in warmth and welcome, Vernon was something else. Locking Harry in his room, putting bars on his window, threatening to ‘knock the stuffing’ out of him, telling Aunt Marge Harry went to school at St Brutus’s Secure Centre for Incurably Criminal Boys. He was relentlessly mean, and he encouraged his son Dudley to be the same.

And yet Dudley was the one Dursley to make at least some attempt to show Harry kindness. Belatedly recognising Harry had saved him from a Dementor, Dudley’s dislike softened to a point where he was actually able to shake Harry’s hand when they said goodbye. It’s not much, but it was a lot more than either of his parents managed.

ranked-feuds-and-disagreements-of-the-wizarding-world-text-section-2

## Sirius vs the Blacks

Proving that family rifts and long-held resentments were just as present in the Wizarding World was Harry’s godfather, Sirius. The rest of Sirius’s family died years before Harry met him, but from what Sirius said, they were a pretty unwelcoming bunch:


quote-hp5-order-of-the-phoenix-sirius-on-his-family

I hated the whole lot of them: my parents, with their pure-blood mania, convinced that to be a Black made you practically royal … my idiot brother, soft enough to believe them…’

ranked-feuds-and-disagreements-of-the-wizarding-world-text-section-3

So out of place did Sirius feel within his family that he ran away from home at 16 and apparently did not return until he was forced to hide out in Grimmauld Place whilst on the run from the Ministry of Magic. The Blacks may not have forced him to live in a cupboard under the stairs, but Sirius clearly felt just as unwelcome as Harry did in Privet Drive.

## Albus vs Harry Potter

Harry’s children didn’t endure the childhood he did, but as his son Albus found in *Cursed Child*, it was not always easy having the most famous wizard in the Wizarding World as your father. When Albus was placed in Slytherin by the Sorting Hat, it set him apart from the rest of his family – just like it did for Sirius, although their family situations were very different. Also like Sirius, Albus ran away (albeit from the Hogwarts Express rather than his parent’s house). That action sparked a chain of events that almost ended in the re-emergence of Voldemort and the possible erasure of Albus himself, which is quite a consequence to face for being a teenager with something to prove to your father. Luckily, the rift was resolved, with Harry and Albus reconciling as they stood in front of Cedric Diggory’s grave. But the damage it almost caused makes it pretty serious, if you ask us.

## Percy vs the Weasleys

Another odd-one-out in his wizarding world family was Percy Weasley. Upright, bossy and sensible to the point of superiority, Percy never shared the easy-going, at times bordering-on-chaotic, attitude possessed by most of the other Weasleys. Still, this wasn’t a major problem until his appointment as Junior Assistant to the Minister for Magic (Cornelius Fudge, of course) bought him into conflict with his family. When his father Arthur suggested Percy’s appointment to that post, barely a year since he’d graduated from Hogwarts, might be because the Ministry wanted to use him to keep tabs on the Weaselys and other Dumbledore associates, he went – as Ron said – berserk. 


quote-hp5-order-of-the-phoenix-ron-on-percy-going-beserk

He said – well, he said loads of terrible stuff. He said he’s been having to struggle against Dad’s lousy reputation ever since he joined the Ministry and that Dad’s got no ambition and that’s why we’ve always been – you know – not had a lot of money, I mean.’

ranked-feuds-and-disagreements-of-the-wizarding-world-text-section-4

For Percy to throw his lot in with the Ministry was pretty bad, but the way he did it was even worse. Insulting his father, blasting out his resentments, and ditching his family to such an extent that he even returned his Weasley jumper – well. He may have come round in the end, but he created a lot of turmoil for his family in the meantime.

## Harry vs Draco

From Quidditch rivals to sworn enemies, the feud between Harry and Draco started before they even arrived at Hogwarts and lasted well into adulthood. As we saw in *Cursed Child* they did reach an uneasy truce in later years, but their schooldays were characterised by a bitter rivalry. There were fouls on the Quidditch pitch and pranks in the corridors, there was that disastrous Duelling Club and the time in* Prisoner of Azkaban* when Draco tried to frighten Harry into losing a Quidditch match by dressing up as a Dementor.

And then there were those much more serious occasions: Draco almost ensuring the death of Buckbeak partly to spite Harry; Harry using Sectumsempra on Draco and nearly causing him to bleed to death; Draco and the Inquisitorial Squad holding Harry and the others back when they were frantically trying to reach Sirius in the Department of Mysteries (or so they thought). With all this in mind, we’re impressed they managed to move forward as adults and at least be civil to each other.

## James Potter vs Severus Snape

Another schoolboy feud with serious consequences was [Harry’s father James’](https://www.wizardingworld.com/features/all-the-ways-james-potter-was-a-true-gryffindor) ongoing rivalry with Harry’s teacher, Severus Snape, whilst they were both at Hogwarts. Somehow we can’t imagine these two being civil to each other as adults.

Like Draco and Harry, the rivalry between Snape and James began early and lasted a long time. So long, in fact, that Snape was unable to stop himself projecting his dislike of James onto his son, Harry. And that was despite the love Snape also felt for Harry’s mother, Lily.

Because that was at the heart of this rivalry, even if it wasn’t spoken aloud. Snape could never have liked James because he loved Lily, and James didn’t help the situation by making his own dislike of Snape just as clear. There was hexing, there was name-calling, and there was a moment with the Whomping Willow that almost cost Snape his life. Good thing they weren’t Quidditch rivals too, right?

## Dumbledore vs Grindelwald

This relationship could have been so different, but when [Grindelwald deserted Dumbledore](https://www.wizardingworld.com/features/grindelwald-and-dumbledores-history-a-deep-dive) after driving a wedge between him and his family which, in one way or another, caused the death of his sister Ariana, there was no going back. And in the years after, as Grindelwald began his rise to power and Dumbledore could no longer ignore the fact that his old friend’s desire to set wizardkind above Muggles served no “greater good”, that personal betrayal became something much more. 

These two might have started out on a similar page but they ended up literally duelling to the finish for vastly different ideals. Dumbledore famously won, but the rift between them must have cost him a great deal.

## Harry vs Voldemort

It was the feud to end all feuds, so it had to be our number one. From the moment Voldemort first tried to kill Harry as a baby to Harry’s final defeat of Voldemort at the Battle of Hogwarts, there were so many moments of bitter, hate-filled rivalry, as well as few glimpses of understanding. Like the prophecy said, neither could live while the other survived. There was only one way it was ever going to end.

quote-hp7-deathly-hallows-voldemort-harry-final-battle

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

The light hit both of their faces at the same time, so that Voldemort’s was suddenly a flaming blur. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand:

‘Avada Kedavra!’
‘Expelliarmus!’

Spanning over 900 square metres with 35ft tall walls, the Ministry of Magic was one of the biggest sets created for the Harry Potter films, requiring months to build and hundreds of extras to fill the space. For Studio Tour Tokyo's grand opening, this set has been lovingly re-built in Japan for visitors to come and see.

![WBSTT-ministry-of-magic-statues-on-display](//images.ctfassets.net/usf1vwtuqyxm/2si7SC1s6jMH1ikANzfOBI/830682a3619c6201fb8abd2d868edd84/WBSTT-ministry-of-magic-statues-on-display.jpg) 

To commute to the Ministry of Magic, staff would travel in via telephone, lavatory, or the [Floo Network](https://www.wizardingworld.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/floo-powder) using one of the enormous fireplaces, each standing at over nine feet tall. Visitors to the Studio Tour are invited to step into one of these fireplaces, just like a Ministry of Magic employee, and pose for photos and videos as smoke and lighting effects mimic the magical effect of Floo powder all around them. 

The design of the Ministry was inspired by Victorian architecture and is covered with thousands of green and red tiles made of lacquered wood. During filming, the set was one of the most time-consuming and intricate to create, the number of hours needed to build a set the size and complexity of the London Ministry of Magic would take a single person over twenty years working non-stop to complete.

Fans will step into the set dressed for its appearance in *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part One* when Harry, Ron and Hermione take on the identities of Ministry workers in order to break in. The set is complete with the terrifying ‘Magic is Might’ statue, that was installed after the Death Eaters take over the Ministry of Magic and exemplifies their cruel view of Muggles.

![WBSTT-magic-is-might-statue](//images.ctfassets.net/usf1vwtuqyxm/5STpKrScRCQGr3XSXt1wJc/8118b31e301a948ec4b98183a5918866/WBSTT-magic-is-might-statue.jpg) 

This striking Ministry of Magic set will be a must-see stop for visitors, for sure.
