The name ‘Bellatrix Lestrange’ would send shivers down the spines of even the bravest of witches and wizards. And this reputation was well-deserved, as her terrifying perspectives and bloodthirsty nature propelled her to commit numerous unthinkable acts over the 46 years that she terrorized the greater Wizarding community.
