Just realized Harry and Voldemort are distant cousins
In HBP when Dumbledore is giving Harry Voldemorts backstory, Marvolo Gaunt (Voldemorts grandfather) talks about how he's descended from the Peverells. In DH, we just read about the Hallows in chapters 22 and 23, and Harry realizes he's descended from the 3rd brother, Ignotus. --- So! You want to hear a story, eh? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Tbf, with how some wizard families like to keep their bloodline pure, I'm sure most of them closely related.

Ron, Sirius, Harry, Voldemort, Draco, and Neville are all related to one another, albeit pretty distantly in some cases. --- https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT So?

Even putting aside that pureblood families in Harry Potter are acknowledged in the story to intermingle a lot, that's also a very distant relation. The Peverell brothers lived and died a few hundred years before the story is set.

Erm isn't Aragorn clearly a human while Arwen is an elf? At least in the movies they were played byYes. Aragorn is a descendant from Arwen's uncle iirc, Elrond's brother. Their father was human and their mother was an elf. They both got to choose if they wanted to be elven or human. Elrond chose to be an elf. His brother chose to be human. He also was the first king of Numenor iirc. And Aragorn descended from him. So Aragorn and Arwen are cousins a couple of hundred times removed or so. --- ...it's a very rare incantation to be sure.

Feels like it doesnt hold as much weight in the HP world as the wizard world isnt super populous. Think theres only 3,000 in the UKHmm there's got to be more than that; there are around 40 kids entering into the school per year, but most wizard families home educate iirc. Shit maybe it is that small a number though, I'd have to look at RL metrics. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Rowling said that she figures there's only about 3k in the UK (ha), but that obviously makes zero sense.
From the HP wiki: There was some confusion regarding the population of the wizarding world. The year Harry Potter entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, there were forty students that started school. This seems to indicate a very low birth rate, or a very low number of witches and wizards in Great Britain and Ireland, or a combination of both. Also, J. K. Rowling has stated that she imagines the wizarding population of the U.K. to be around 3,000. This estimate, although seemingly small, was understandable; a larger population would be far harder to hide from Muggles. However, she also stated that the number of students attending Hogwarts was around 1,000, which seems inconsistent with the 3,000 population estimate. Harry once observed in one Quidditch match that three-quarters of the stadium was supporting Gryffindor, while the Slytherin supporters numbered around 200. There were a large number of government departments, and Harry Potter observes hundreds of witches and wizards in the Ministry of Magic's Atrium alone. This would appear to be too large for such a small population. The Quidditch World Cup stadium could hold 100,000 and was built by a Ministry task force of five hundred. It seems very unlikely that a sixth of the entire country worked for a full year on one single project, though it was possible that the Ministry could had hired out from other countries. --- https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT So?

Rowling is good at broad-strokes world building but massively fucks up the details of it.

The number of wizards must be under a million and muggle-borns are very rare and probably related to wizards anyways to some degree --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
