“Andromeda was my favourite cousin. No Andromeda's not on here either, look. Andromeda's sisters are still here because they made lovely, respectable pure-blood marriages, but Andromeda married a Muggle-born, Ted Tonks, so. ”
―Sirius to Harry Potter
Andromeda Tonks (nee Black) is a witch from the House of Black and a minor protagonist in the Harry Potter book series. She was the middle sister of Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy, wife of Ted Tonks, mother of Nymphadora Tonks, and maternal grandmother of Teddy Lupin. She is the maternal aunt of Draco Malfoy (through Narcissa) and Delphini (through Bellatrix).
She was also Sirius' favourite cousin and unlike her sisters, married a Muggle-born wizard.
Trivia[]
Andromeda is adapted out of the film series. Due to her striking resemblence to her sister Bellatrix, fans petitioned for Helena Bonham Carter to play the sisters in a dual role, which ultimately failed.
