Updating The Sacred 28 For Todays Times + The Complete History Of The List

Please watch: "The Life Of Marius de Romanus (Vampire Chronicles)"
The Sacred 28 has always been one of my favourite creations from JK Rowling as it highlights the theme of racism and prejudice in the Harry Potter story. That was also it’s purpose in the wizarding world aswel, to show that there are still some families who are proud of their pure blood heritage. In todays video I’m going to fully explain the history of the sacred 28, why some families were left off it and I’ll be looking at each of the 28 families current status today in order to determine if they’d still be eligible to remain on the list over 70 years after its original publication.

Oh look, a lot of these are gone thanks to Voldemort

Good job Voldemort at eliminating pure-bloods!

"Unless Charlie married a pureblood"
I don't think dragons can be pureblood but okay.

This quarantine season is giving us a lot of content.

The Sacred 28 were not only pureblood families, but those of very high standing who helped found the British Wizarding Society, probably before the 1900s.

Didn’t the Malfoy’s have muggle blood in them from a long time ago, when they were heavily involved in muggle politics?

[DeXyClarke]

According to an old Pottermore article on Ollivander, he had one deceased daughter and one living son. There was no name ever listed. He's also stated to have a muggle-born mother.

Do you think that JK Rowling watches these videos and says
“Damn That’s Crazy”
Lol jk love this channel

If I have existed in the wizarding world, and happened to have been in a pureblood family, I would want my family to be like the Macmillans. Keeping their bloodline 100% pure but never hating muggles, and never pressuring to marry purebloods. It's like that perfect area in the middle.

Hey Harry Potter the character will be 40 at the end of july

[luisg.ramirez-pagan]

According to Pottermore, Garrick Ollivander is Half-blood.

Have u ever noticed how Burke is on the sacred 28 and Borgin isn’t? I’d think that would upset the Borgin Family...

[BarcroftLaboratories]

There is a death eater Selwyn, in deathly hallows Voldemort scream "Your wand; Selwyn, give me your wand" at him to give him his wand just before Harry and Hagrid pass through the magical barrier around Tonk's parent's house.

I think that at one point, the Sacred 28 were all noble houses in a Wizarding monarchy that was either overthrown and replaced by the Ministry or simply died out.

If you think about it families like the greengrass, Parkinson and the Abbott family only have female heirs we know of so if they get married their child will not have the last name of their family rather their husbands family so wouldn’t their family be lost too especially with the greengrass blood curse. Just a thought would like to see your views on it.

[alexmarissens]

The Rosier could still be extant just like the Lestrange family, it is never stated that Evan was the last and as we see in fantastic Beasts there are still some Rosiers we don't know

For the Gaunts even if there were still people called gaunt it would have not been up there due to Voldemort’s mom marrying a muggle.

[yeboialeg]

I just realized that 28 is a multiple of 7

[caritoh]

Not related but I don't think Charlie Weasley will marry. He has his dragons 😊

14:07 in the deathly hallows book when Harry, Ron and Hermione are at the Lovegoods house Luna’s dad calls in two death-eaters, Travers and Selwyn

Can you also do a video about why Snape left his Half Blood Prince book even though he knew the dark spells written inside?
