"No one lived after he decided ter kill 'em, no one except you, an' he'd killed some of the best witches and wizards of the age - the McKinnons, the Bones, the Prewetts - you were only a baby an' you lived."
Rubeus Hagrid to Harry Potter[src]

Edgar Bones (d. 1981) was a wizard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bones and brother of Amelia and another person. During the First Wizarding War, he became a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

He was killed by Death Eaters before the end of the war, along with his family.

Biography

Early life

Edgar was born into a wizarding family and had a sister, Amelia.He had a brother, as his niece Susan was neither a daughter of him nor of Amelia.

First Wizarding War

In the First Wizarding War, Edgar Bones became member of the Order of the Phoenix, an organisation led and founded by Albus Dumbledore, in order to oppose the Dark Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Edgar also married a woman and had more than one child with her. Edgar was also described as being a great wizard by Alastor Moody. Rubeus Hagrid also told Harry Potter that the Bones family was considered among the greatest wizards of all time.

Death

Edgar was murdered, along with his wife and children, by Death Eaters sometime in the later half of 1981.[3] His mother and father were also killed by Voldemort.[4]

Personality and traits

It is known that Edgar was very beloved among the Order of the Phoenix members, and generally the wizarding world. He was possibly a very good person and also good as a wizard, as he opposed Voldemort and his Death Eaters.

Etymology

The name "Edgar" is derived from the Old English elements ead "rich, blessed" and gar "spear". This was the name of a 10th-century English king who is regarded as a saint. The name did not survive long after the Norman conquest, but it was revived in the 18th century, in part due to a character by this name in Sir Walter Scott's novel 'The Bride of Lammermoor' (1819). In the film version of Order of the Phoenix , Edgar Bones was played (in the Wizard photograph of the Order) by First Assistant Director Cliff Lanning.

Appearances

Notes and references

  1. Edgar appeared in a photograph with Marlene McKinnon that was taken two weeks before Marlene's death in July 1981. This indicates Edgar was alive in the summer of 1981 and must been killed sometime between then and Voldemort's fall (31 October, 1981).
  2. In Ch. 4 of Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince, Horace Slughorn states that family members are often Sorted into the same House. This may indicate that Edgar was Sorted into Hufflepuff, as his niece Susan was. However, there are exceptions.
