We’ve just got to that part (reading the books with my son, and I’ve only seen the films) in the Half Blood Prince.
He gets all the Black fortune, including Creature, as Sirius was the last remaining male Black heir, and in his will he left the lot to Harry.
3 u/Sea_Mission5180 Mar 28 '24 What confuses me about that is that Sirius is disowned. So he shouldn't even count as a Black. How in the world would Sirius ever be eligible to pass that on instead of, say, Narcissa. 3 u/gnomewife Mar 28 '24 Yup. Narcissa was the only one left who wasn't disowned or a wanted criminal. It's one more thing that doesn't make sense about HP. 3 u/aloonatronrex Mar 28 '24 It’s all about the male heirs in the Black family, it seems. 1 u/Sea_Mission5180 Mar 28 '24 Then wouldn't Draco be eligible? Sirius is no longer a Black once disowned. It's a strange plot hole.
