How did Bellatrix carve Mudblood into Hermione arm?

Bellatrix Lestrange did not carve "Mudblood" into Hermione's arm. This is a common misconception stemming from the book "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."

In the book, Bellatrix uses a knife to torture Hermione, but the inscription is never mentioned. The scene is described as follows:

> "Bellatrix raised her hand, and the knife flashed in the firelight. It sliced across Hermione’s arm, leaving a deep, ragged cut that bled freely."

The inscription is only mentioned in the movie adaptation, where it is used as a visual representation of Bellatrix's cruelty and the severity of the attack.

While the inscription itself is not canon, the scene serves as a powerful reminder of the prejudice and violence inflicted upon wizards and witches deemed "Mudbloods" by pure-blood supremacists like Bellatrix Lestrange.
