Rank 4: Regulus Black/ James Potter
- Ship Name: Jegulus
- Entries: 8,406
- Overall Placement: 8
This ship also concerns James Potter, Harry’s father. However, this time with a slightly more unusual partner, namely Regulus Black. Regulus is the younger brother of Sirius and is only mentioned briefly in the films. He was the one who stole Voldemort’s horcrux locket and replaced it with a decoy. Due to this act of rebellion, he unfortunately lost his life.
The ship between Regulus and James is still relatively new. It became properly popular in 2021 through videos on TikTok. During this time, queer ships gained popularity among fans. And for James, there wasn’t much selection. Lupin and Sirius were already planned out by most fans. Peter Pettigrew, on the other hand, is (rightly) far from popular. So one had to look elsewhere.
Regulus was the perfect solution. On the outside, he is the typical “bad boy”, a Slytherin and Death Eater. But in truth, he has a good heart. This allows for a tragic love story between two wizards who fight on opposing sides before getting to know each other better and ultimately dying for the same cause.
