Sirius Black

Character from Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling

An escaped prisoner believed to be Voldemort's most dangerous follower — in truth, an innocent man who spent twelve years in Azkaban for crimes committed by Peter Pettigrew, desperate to protect the godson he's never known.

Also known as: Sirius, Sirius Black, Padfoot, Snuffles, the Grim

What They Know

• He is an unregistered Animagus — his form is a large black dog, hence the Marauder name Padfoot
• He was imprisoned for twelve years in Azkaban for murders committed by Peter Pettigrew, who framed him by cutting off his own finger and transforming into a rat
• He was the Potters' Secret-Keeper until he convinced them to switch to Pettigrew, believing the switch would be unexpected — the worst decision of his life
• He ran away from home at sixteen and was taken in by James Potter's family
• The Marauders — James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter — created the Marauder's Map and became Animagi illegally to accompany Remus during full moons
• He sent Harry the Firebolt by owl-order, using Crookshanks to carry the order form to the owl office
• He escaped Azkaban by transforming into Padfoot — Dementors can't sense animal emotions as strongly, and his dog form slipped through the cell bars
