	Movies - Blaise Zabini

Blaise Zabini is a fictional character in the Harry Potter series of books written by J. K. Rowling. While his name was mentioned during the Sorting ceremony in the first book, he made his first proper appearance in book 6. He is a Slytherin student of the same year as Harry Potter.

Blaise is a good-looking, tall black boy with high cheekbones and long, slanting eyes. He had a famously beautiful mother who is a widow seven times (each time under suspicious circumstances, after which she acquired all her late husbands' possessions). It is not known which of the seven husbands, if any, was his biological father. Zabini is described as extremely vain, and like other Slytherins in his year, has strong prejudices against Muggle-borns and "blood traitors."

In volume six, Blaise is one of the students invited to lunch on the Hogwarts Express by Professor Slughorn, who is sizing up potential new members for his "Slug Club." Blaise apparently passes the litmus test, as he continues to receive invitations to Slughorn's parties once the school year begins. He does not seem to have a high opinion of his fellow "members," if his comments to Draco Malfoy on the Hogwarts Express are any indication, yet in spite of that he does continue to accept the invitations.

Blaise finds Ginny Weasley attractive, although he is hard to please, but he says to Draco that he would never touch a "filthy little blood-traitor" like her no matter what she looked like.

In fandom

Before Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince came out, the only information known about this character was that Blaise was a Slytherin in Harry's year. As a result, Blaise's gender and nature were hotly debated by fans and both male and female versions of the character were heavily featured in fanfiction. The African nationality of Blaise Zabini came as quite the surprise to many fans since they expected a "tall, dark and handsome" Italian caucasian boy with long black hair.

Further, it was assumed by many fanfiction writers that Blaise Zabini, either in male or female form would be one of the 'good Slytherins', who would join Dumbledore's Army and contribute to the war efforts against Voldemort. In female form, she was often written as Harry's romantic interest. Similarly, the male Blaise was partnered with Hermione Granger.
