House of Peverell

The Noble and Most Ancient House of Peverell is the most powerful, wealthiest and oldest of the Pure-Blood Wizarding Families of Great Britain and Ireland and the self proclaimed heads of the Sacred Fifty-Four. Dating back to the Middle Ages they are descendants of Salazar Slytherin and Gellert Grindelwald, the Peverells were thought to be extinct, however the last surviving member changed their name from Peverell to Potter in a blood ritual, this ritual also removed most of the families magical powers until the birth of Hadrian Peverell whose birth awakened their old name and magic. Their official family motto is “Magisters De Mors”.
