The Death Eaters
"How many will be brave enough to return when they feel [the Dark Mark on their arms turn black]? And how many will be foolish enough to stay away?"
     -- Lord Voldemort

"When a wizard goes over ter the Dark Side, there's nothin' and no one that matters to 'em anymore..."
     -- Rubeus Hagrid

The Death Eaters are those wizards who followed Voldemort. There seems to be a fairly small number of them, although the ones that apparate to Voldemort's side when the Dark Mark on their arms summons them may be the inner circle of his strongest supporters only. Some of the names of Death Eaters are the same as those of students at Hogwarts, but it is not known if they are related.
