  Knights of Walpurgis... seems like a strong name. If they were ever to come back and revolt, I think they'd want this name instead.

  Death Eaters

  I prefer the name Death Eaters. To me it sounds heavy metal-ish.

  Death Eaters

  One of these sounds badass and the other seems like some fanfictions shitty name for it to be cool.

  Knights of Walpurgis was going to be what JK Rowling originally called the Death Eaters. I also think (no source, just speculation) that the final battle was supposed to be on April 30th originally, also known as Walpurgisnacht. But she changed it.

  In Germany, Walpurgisnacht, the night from 30 April to 1 May, is the night when witches are reputed to hold a large celebration on the Brocken and await the arrival of spring.

  Death Eaters

  As much as I love the clever play on Walpurgis Night, which is Jo all over, with a dash of Lemony Snickett, Death Eaters is just simpler.
