22 Fantastic Beasts & Harry Potter Characters Who Are Related

3. Leta Lestrange & Corvus Lestrange & Bellatrix Lestrange

Now, this one is a little more confusing because of the broken timeline. In the Fantastic Beasts movies, we meet Leta Lestrange and learn of her father Corvus Lestrange, who also fathered tragic Corvus Lestrange III. He is said to be the last male heir of the family and a cursory glance at most family trees suggests he was.

But then there's the complication of Bellatrix Lestrange. She married Rodolphus Lestrange who had a brother and who was the son of the Lestrange who was one of Voldemort's first Death Eaters. Her marriage to Rodolphus means she's related by marriage to Leta and Corvus, of course.

The difficulty is that the elder Lestrange who was a Death Eater has no place in the Lestrange family tree. He doesn't exist according to the Fantastic Beasts' timeline, since HE would be the last surviving male heir. Presumably, JK Rowling simply changed something and we aren't supposed to look at it too hard.
