    So it' confirmed, then; Harry Potter is the direct descendent of one of the Peverell brothers? Nice.

    @Russhiro no need for confirmation outside of the books. See MBEllis' answer. Commented Mar 15, 2021 at 6:06

    @Righter: I'm not sure I understand your point. Harry Potter books have more than a million words. It's perfectly possible to read the 7 books and not remember every sentence. As mentioned in the other answer, the fact that the Potters are direct descendants of Ignotus Peverell is directly confirmed in the books. That's not a "big supposition" anymore. Still, it's obviously perfectly fine to ask this question even after having read every book. Commented Mar 15, 2021 at 6:32

    @BrianDrake I consider anything that JK Rowling writes as canon, though others may not
