The stars in the Harry Potter books

J.R. Rowling used the characteristics of constellations and permanent stars to create characters in her Harry Potter books. Who's from under the dark star, and who's from under the bright one?

Sirius, Bellatrix, Regulus, Draco, Lupus, Luna are the characters that appear in the Harry Potter books. J.K. Rowling, creating her characters, achieved knowledge about the stars and constellations that we can observe in the sky every night. They are also characters who play a very important role in the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Draco, Harry's school enemy, got his name after the constellation Dragon - Dragon. Luna or Luna (who is a satellite of the Earth) is a girl who, in the last part of Harry's adventures, thanks to her lunar intuition, helps Harry solve the main magical puzzle and defeat Voldemort.

Bellatrix

Bellatrix is a star in the constellation of Orion, also called the Warrior or Amazon. She is brave, courageous, and can achieve a lot, but unfortunately, she has many weaknesses and often chooses the easier path to her goal, usually bringing chaos and destruction to others. Bellatrix Lestrange in Rowling's books, who is a supporter of Voldemort, fights on his side and is loyal to him to the end. She does not want to change like other members of her family, supporters of Voldemort, and remains on the dark side of the force until the end.

Lupus, Harry's defense teacher against the dark arts, also has his name and character from the eponymous star constellation. Every month, on the full moon, he turns into a werewolf, which makes him aggressive, unpredictable, and dangerous to Harry and his friends. An interesting fact is that this constellation is strongly marked in the horoscope of Jacek Nicholson, who played the main role in the movie "Werewolf".

Regulus

Regulus is one of the most important stars in the sky, one of the four royal stars of Persia. He is the keeper of the secrets of the sky, its northern part. It is located in the constellation of Leo and is therefore called the Heart of Leo. The Regulus star increases courage, strength, the desire for success, as well as the desire for revenge. In the world of Harry Potter, Regulus Black, Sirius' mysterious brother, is also the guardian: Voldemort's secret to immortality. Despite the mistakes of youth, his view of Voldemort, he comes to his senses and does everything not to fulfill his evil fate.
