Headmaster Black Is A Lightweight In Hogwarts LegacyAs evil and prejudiced as he may be, it seems as though the head of Hogwarts doesn't actually hold his liquor too well.
Despite being Headmaster, Black was known to dislike most of the students of Hogwarts, and had no real ambition to be seen as a role model or any interest in the students' education. This was possibly a reason why Sirius Black believed he was the least popular Headmaster Hogwarts ever had.
Phineas Nigellus Black was known as the worst headmaster Hogwarts had ever seen in the Harry Potter books. He occupied Dumbledore's office around a century before Harry started at the school, but his portrait hung on the wall like all the others who ran the school before and after him.
A new clip from the game Hogwarts Legacy has revealed that the school's headmaster, Phineas Black, shares his family's hateful views of non-pure blood wizards and witches. The Black family is infamous for their bigotry toward anyone who isn't a pure-blood, and it seems that Headmaster Black is no exception.
Phineas Nigellus Black was a wizard born to the ancient House of Black who became headmaster of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1800s.

Why did Black cancel Quidditch?
Hogwarts Legacy's Quidditch season was indeed canceled due to an accident on the field, but a note found in the Hospital Wing paints the so-called injury as a mere scapegoat for a much darker motive.
In Half-Blood Prince, Ch. 4, Horace Slughorn states: "The whole Black family had been in my house, but Sirius ended up in Gryffindor!... I got his brother Regulus when he came along, but I'd have liked the set." This implies that all Blacks except Sirius were Sorted into Slytherin while Slughorn was Head of House.
The most famous of these members, of course, was Harry's godfather Sirius Black, who barely made it to adulthood before he was disowned by the family for rejecting the Blacks' pure-blood ideals and running away from home.
Hogwarts Legacy's Headmaster, Phineas Nigellus Black, is the great-great-grandfather of Sirius Black. Phineas was born in 1847 as a middle child between three siblings, but his eldest brother, Sirius, died for unknown reasons when he was around six years old.
Professor Phineas Nigellus Black (1847 – 1925) was a pure-blood wizard, possibly the son of Cygnus and Ella Black, and brother of Sirius, Elladora and Isla Black.
Professor Alecto Carrow was a Dark witch, Death Eater and the sister of Amycus Carrow. Alecto fought in the First Wizarding War along with her brother.
His loyalty was debatable throughout the entire series, but he was finally revealed to be on the side of good near the end of The Deathly Hallows, being unconditionally loyal to Albus Dumbledore and the woman he loved, Lily. He plays a very crucial role in bringing about Voldemort's final defeat.
When the trio used 12 Grimmauld Place as a hide-out, Hermione placed the portrait of Phineas Nigellus Black in the handbag to prevent him from reporting their activities to Severus Snape, who was the new headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where Phineas Nigellus had another portrait.
Albus Dumbledore, for example, died when he was 115 years old, which was relatively young for a wizard. Nicholas Flamel and his wife lived more than 600 years thanks to the Philosopher's Stone, but regular wizards can live between 150 and 200 years. The Trolley Lady, for example, is around 190 years old.
Phineas Nigellus Black (1847-1926) is an ancestor of Sirius Black and a past headmaster of Hogwarts. In the series, he appears as a portrait, primarily in the Headmaster's office.
Headmaster: Phineas Nigellus Black- Black would be 43 in 1890 which is about the right age for the man seen standing while you are being sorted. He comes to Hogwarts to teach first then goes on to become the least popular headmaster, which will make for an interesting dynamic.
Sirius's early life proved unhappy; he had come to hate most of his relatives, in particular his mother. He rejected his family's pure-blood elitism and reverence for the Dark Arts.
The Malfoys are related to the Black family through Narcissa (a first cousin of Sirius Black, Harry's godfather), which makes Draco a nephew of both Bellatrix Lestrange and Andromeda Tonks. Draco is also Nymphadora Tonks' first cousin through their mothers.
Sirius also disliked Regulus because of his ambition to become a Death Eater, but he was unaware that Regulus later attempted to destroy one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Sirius regretted how young his brother died and wished Regulus hadn't been as soft to go with what their parents told him to do.
The names Cygnus, Arcturus, and Regulus have also occurred at least twice each. Notably, however, only one Sirius (the subject's great-grandfather) left a line of descent, which ended with the youngest Sirius, as he did not have children. The Black family believed strongly in pure-blood elitism.
She married Rodolphus Lestrange after leaving Hogwarts "because it was expected of her" to marry a pure-blood. However, Rowling stated in an interview that Bellatrix truly loved Voldemort.
Cedrella and Septimus went on to have three children together, one of whom was Arthur Weasley – Ron's father. This means that Draco and Ron are distantly related, making Draco's bigoted pure-blooded ideology even more ironic.
