She's an extremely talented witch, although quite cruel!.
She's the cousin of Sirius Black!.
She tortured Neville's parents into insanity!.
She has black hair and "heavily lidded eyes"
She used to be beautiful, but Azkaban took it out of her!.
She's a Death Eater and considers herself to be Voldemort's closest follower!.
Her house was obviously Slytherin!.
She has two sisters, one of whom is mother to Dora Tonks (named Andromeda) and the other of whom is mother to Draco (and this sister is named Narcissa)!.
She murdered Sirius Black, her cousin in Order of the Phoenix!.
She taught Harry that you had to really MEAN the Unforgivable Curses if you're going to use them!.
She tortures Hermione in the final book and leaves a cut on her throat!.
She murders Dobby by throwing her silver knife at him as he disapparates with Harry, Hermione and Ron!.
Like most Death Eaters, she believes Mudbloods are filth and that blood traitors are just as worse!.
In the final book, she was killed by Mrs!. Weasley!. Bellatrix had been battling Ginny, Hermione and Luna, but then Mrs!. Weasley told them to basically step aside and then Mrs!. Weasley killed Bellatrix!. Bellatrix died laughing, as did Sirius!.

Everything!? You asked for it!

Biography
[edit] Early Life
Bellatrix was born in 1951 to Cygnus and Druella Black, who raised her to prize her pure-blood heritage!. She was the oldest sister to Andromeda and Narcissa, though Bellatrix cut off contact with the former when Andromeda married Muggle-born wizard Ted Tonks and was disowned, as she told Lord Voldemort in 1997 that neither she nor Narcissa had "set eyes on our sister since she married the Mudblood"!. Bellatrix also held her cousin Sirius Black in contempt for being a Gryffindor and a "blood traitor"!.

Bellatrix attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into the Slytherin House!. She eventually married Rodolphus Lestrange — a fellow pureblood, as was expected of her — and when Lord Voldemort first rose to power, she and her husband joined the Death Eaters!. Unlike her sisters, Bellatrix displays no outward affection for her husband whatsoever, never even mentioning him in conversation!. It was revealed by J!.K!. Rowling that Bellatrix's true love was Voldemort!. He also gave her some training in the Dark Arts, which contributed to her incredible talent as a duelist!.

Bellatrix in her cell in Azkaban!.[edit] First Wizarding War and Time in Azkaban
"The Dark Lord will rise again, Crouch! Throw us into Azkaban; we will wait! He will rise again and will come for us, he will reward us beyond any of his other supporters! We alone were faithful! We alone tried to find him!"
—Bellatrix at her trial[src]
Bellatrix and Rodolphus fought in the First Wizarding War on the side of Voldemort!. After the Dark Lord's fall in 1981, Bellatrix and a group of Death Eaters, including her husband, brother-in-law and Barty Crouch Jr!., captured Aurors and Order of the Phoenix members Alice and Frank Longbottom!. Bellatrix used the Cruciatus Curse to torture them into insanity!. She and her associates were tried for this before the Wizengamot and sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban!. Unlike many other Death Eaters, Bellatrix not only did not attempt to lie about her loyalty — she proudly proclaimed that she was loyal to the Dark Lord and that he would return!. She would later describe herself as his "most loyal servant"!.

[edit] Azkaban Escape

Bellatrix in the 1996 Azkaban escape!.When Voldemort returned in 1995, he stated that the Lestranges were among the most faithful members of his inner circle!. In January of 1996, Bellatrix was one of the many Death Eaters who escaped from Azkaban and rejoined Voldemort when the Dementors defected to the Dark Lord!.

[edit] Battle of the Department of Mysteries
"Shut your mouth! You dare speak his name with your unworthy lips, you dare besmirch it with your half-blood's tongue, you dare -"
—Bellatrix to Harry Potter in the Department of Mysteries when he uses Voldemort's name!.[src]
Bellatrix participated in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in a bid to steal a prophecy regarding Harry Potter and Voldemort!. She became enraged when Harry spoke Voldemort's name and told her that he was a half-blood!. Later, she briefly tortured Neville Longbottom with the Cruciatus Curse to try to coerce Harry into handing over the prophecy!. It was clear that, given the chance, she would have enjoyed further torturing Neville to further punish his parents!.

Bellatrix after being freed from Azkaban!.When the Order of the Phoenix arrived, Bellatrix dueled and defeated her niece, Nymphadora Tonks, and then began fighting her cousin, Sirius Black, who taunted her as they dueled!. She knocked him through a veiled stone arch in the Death Chamber, killing him!. She then defeated Kingsley Shacklebolt in a duel and deflected a spell from Albus Dumbledore, fleeing!. She was pursued by Harry, who she taunted over his godfather's death!. Harry was enraged to the point that he attempted the Cruciatus Curse on her!. He only succeeded in knocking her down, however!. She then shouted at him that one had to mean it to use the Unforgivable Curses in order to use them!.

"Never used an Unforgivable Curse before, have you, boy!? You need to mean them, Potter!. You need to really want to cause pain - to enjoy it - righteous anger won't hurt me for long - I'll show you how it is done, shall I!? I'll give you a lesson - Crucio!"
—Bellatrix to Harry[src]
Voldemort then arrived, and he and Dumbledore began to duel!. Bellatrix was pinned to the floor by the statue through a spell of Dumbledore's while her master fought!. After trying to possess Harry and being spotted by Ministry officials, Voldemort fled, taking Bellatrix with him as he Disapparated!.

[edit] Plot Against Dumbledore
"!.!.!.I don't trust you, Snape, as you very well know!!.!.!. Where were you when the Dark Lord fell!? Why did you never make any attempt to find him when he vanished!? What have you been doing all thse years that you've lived in Dumbledore's pocket!? Why did you not return at once when the Dark Lord was reborn!? Where were you a few weeks ago when we battled to retrieve the prophecy for the Dark Lord!? And why, Snape, is Harry Potter still alive, when you have had him at your mercy for the last five years!?"
—Bellatrix questions Snape[src]
In July 1996, Bellatrix accompanied her sister Narcissa to the house of Severus Snape at Spinner's End!. Once there, Bellatrix interrogated Snape and voiced her distrust of him!. Narcissa, however, proceeded to beg Snape to look after her son Draco's welfare while he attended Hogwarts and tried to fulfill Voldemort's command that he kill Albus Dumbledore!. Snape shocked Bellatrix by asking her to bind him and Narcissa with an Unbreakable Vow to assist Draco!. She also assisted her nephew in his task by teaching him Occlumency, and told her sister that she should be proud, instead of worried, that her son was not "shrinking away from his duty"!.

[edit] Malfoy Manor

Bellatrix: "My Lord, it is an honour to have you here, in our family’s house!. There can be no higher pleasure!."
Lord Voldemort: "No higher pleasure!.!.!. That means a great deal, Bellatrix, from you!."
Bellatrix: "My Lord knows I speak nothing but the truth!"
— Bellatrix's delight at Voldemort staying at Malfoy Manor[src]
A year later, Bellatrix was living with Narcissa at Malfoy Manor so that she could be closer to Voldemort!. She was the only resident of the manor that was actually pleased that he was staying there!. When Voldemort humiliated the Malfoys by bringing up their relative Nymphadora Tonks' marriage to werewolf Remus Lupin, Bellatrix eagerly told her master that she would "prune her family tree"!.

A copy of the Sword of Gryffindor had been secured in her vault at Gringotts, but nobody knew at the time it was merely a copy!. Thus, when in 1998 Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger were captured by Snatchers and brought to the Manor with the real sword, Bellatrix panicked!. She accidentally revealed that her vault also contained another of Voldemort's Horcruxes: Helga Hufflepuff's Cup!. Bellatrix interrogated Hermione and tortured her with the Cruciatus Curse, but Hermione managed to lie, claiming it was only a copy!.

"You’re lying, filthy Mudblood, and I know it! You have been inside my vault at Gringotts! Tell the truth, tell the truth! What else did you take!? What else have you got!? Tell me the truth or, I swear, I shall run you through with this knife! What else did you take, what else!? ANSWER ME! CRUCIO!"
—overheard parts of Bellatrix’s interrogation of Hermione Granger[src]
Bellatrix also threatened Hermione with a short knife, after Harry and Ron escaped from the cellar with the assistance of Dobby; she got close enough to get some of her hair on Hermione's clothes !. This would come in handy later when Hermione used this hair to create Polyjuice Potion to impersonate Bellatrix, making it possible to steal the Horcrux from the Lestranges' vault!. Dobby had caused the chandelier to fall from above Bellatrix's head, prompting her to release Hermione and jump out of the way!. Bellatrix killed Dobby with a silver knife as the elf was Disapparating with Harry!. She and her relatives were severely punished by Voldemort for allowing Harry to escape!.

[edit] Battle of Hogwarts

Bellatrix using the Killing Curse!.Bellatrix: "What will happen to your children when I've killed you!? When Mummy's gone the same way as Freddie!?"
Molly: "You - will - never - touch - our - children - again!"
— Bellatrix duels Molly Weasley[src]
Bellatrix was a fanatically devoted Death Eater, whose lifetime of wickedness and debauchery culminated in the murder of Nymphadora Tonks during the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998!. When Voldemort called a temporary retreat, waiting for Harry Potter to turn himself in, Bellatrix waited by his side; she offered her help when he was dazed after using the Killing Curse on Harry, but was coldly rebuffed!. When the Death Eaters marched back to Hogwarts with a "dead" Harry, she laughed at Minerva McGonagall's cry of pain!.

When the battle resumed, Bellatrix fought Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood all at once, just as her master fought three by himself!. Her reckless and wanton use of threats ultimately caused her death!. After nearly hitting Ginny with a Killing Curse, she herself was killed by Ginny's mother Molly, who Bellatrix did not take seriously; instead, she taunted Molly over the death of her son Fred earlier in battle!. Bellatrix merely laughed at Molly, allowing Molly to hit her over the heart, killing her!. After she toppled to the ground, Voldemort was enraged and turned on Molly, which led to Harry Potter revealing himself to be alive, for the final showdown!.
