History Vault. Delphi in Greek Mythology Greeks considered Delphi the center or navel of the world. Who Built Delphi? They built the first stone temples to Apollo and Athena towards the end of the 7th century B. Recommended for you. Electing a New Pope. History of Vatican City. Rowling's earlier books. Fortunately, we can actually trace back fairly easily when she was conceived and born within the framework of the last two books.
The script describes Delphi as a "twentysomething," but based on what little information we have about Delphi's origins, it is safe to assume that when we first meet her in the narrative, she is around 23 years old. She says that she was born prior to the Battle of Hogwarts, which means she would have been born in Harry and Co's seventh year.
If 19 years have passed between the eighth book and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child , then by the time Delphi meets the boys in their fourth years at Hogwarts, it makes sense to put her at about Still, readers are probably wondering — when on earth was she born? Bellatrix was such a huge part of the last few books that it seems like hiding a pregnancy would have been a difficult task.
Incidentally, a Redditor predicted how and when this could have happened before Delphi's existence was revealed. Redditor sappy actually figured out over a year ago that a Voldemort progeny was possible, and did some light math for us all:. Her guardian, Euphemia Rowle , was not very fond of her.
She only raised Delphi for a reward, and always told her she would meet a sticky end. It appears that Euphemia did not see or treat her as a member of her family and simply kept her in her household for the sake of the money she received. It is not known whether her maternal aunt Narcissa knew about her, but it is likely since Delphi was born at her home. If Narcissa did know, then it is possible that she continued to keep the secret to protect not only her niece but also her own family from the public reaction to the idea that the Dark Lord had a child.
By the time he did discover who she was, Draco had given up believing in the same Pureblood values his parents had, and when he met Delphi, he had no affection or sympathy for her and her attempt to revive Voldemort. Instead he helped apprehend her, and took her back to the future to be sent to Azkaban. As Draco had bad experiences around Delphi's father and didn't seem to have the best of relationships with her mother who was his maternal aunt, any family loyalty to her would have been limited at best.
Delphi faked a friendship with her first-cousin-once-removed, Scorpius Malfoy for a while. Scorpius even trusted Delphi to help destroy the time turner.
However, Delphi later turned on Scorpius and broke his wand, going as far as to make him time travel with her before leaving him stuck in the past. Scorpius had no love for her, even when finding out about their family connections, and along with his father, sided against her and helped Harry Potter duel her.
Harry Potter, being a distant cousin of Delphini through her father Voldemort, was unaware of Delphini's heritage until he investigated it. At first, Harry was shocked and horrified that Voldemort left behind a child to carry out his legacy, but after defeating and capturing her, he felt sympathetic towards her as she only wished to see her father. Nevertheless, Harry refused to let her alter the past simply to fulfil that one wish, insisting that no one can change their own life by tampering with time.
Delphini was also a fourth cousin to Albus Potter through his mother Ginny, as they both descended directly from Phineas Nigellus Black. Albus trusted Delphini, but once he discovered her true intentions he, alongside his friend Scorpius, did all they could to help their parents stop her.
Delphini originally had an affectionate relationship with Amos , even calling him "uncle". However, Delphini only used him so she could revive her father who killed Cedric.
It is possible Delphini was using the dark arts possibly the Imperius Curse to control Amos on some level to help protect her cover of pretending to be his niece.
Delphi claimed that it was her stepfather Rodolphus who came to her and told her of her heritage. It is unknown how Rodolphus felt about her, since she was the illegitimate child of his wife and his master. It is possible that he, like Bellatrix, had only gotten married in order to follow the traditions of their pure-blood supremacist families.
He may have been proud of the fact that his wife was chosen to be the mother of the child of the Dark Lord as he was a loyal follower of Lord Voldemort, while it is also possible that he may not have any romantic feelings for Bellatrix and that the idea of her having sexual relations with another man did not offend him. Rodolphus and Bellatrix were both loyal Death Eaters. He may have sought out Delphini and told her the truth as a way of remaining faithful to his master. He may have also been the one to give her some training in magical arts.
Delphini could fly unsupported , something that her father had done and who might have also trained Rodolphus to do. The name Delphini may be related to Delphinus, a constellation in the northern sky. The House of Black , Delphi's mother's family, had a tradition of naming children after stars and constellations. In Greek mythology, Delphyne was the name of a female dragon who was appointed by her mother, the earth goddess Gaia , to guard the Pythia , commonly known as the Oracle of Delphi.
In the alternate timeline, where Voldemort won, Delphi operated under the alias "the Augurey ". In the wizarding world, Augureys, also known as Irish Phoenix, are sinister-looking black birds that they believed foretold death when they cried. It is very similar to her father's chosen name, Voldemort, which means "flight of death" in French.
Augurey is derived from the Latin word "augury" meaning "omen or portent of the future. Observing the name 'Delphini' analogically, as presumably many have done already with the name of Voldemort's familiar: ' Nagini ', the suffix '-ini' denotes femininity in Sanskrit and similar languages. Naga alone, means snake or male snake; which is why on a side note, harrypotterfanon. One may assume knowing that Rowling was trained in Classics, the name Delphi could be related to the ' Oracle of Delphi '.
In this context 'Delphini' could mean 'prophetess' or female 'soothsayer'. This would tie into Rowling's theme of giving her characters names that refer to flowers. Harry Potter Wiki Explore.
