Företaget som utformade det kallade det "Death Eater Apparition".

I själva filmerna finns det aldrig ett namn som nämns för de rökplumer som Death Eaters blir. Effekten finns inte i boken, det är en visuell effekt som läggs till för filmerna, så böckerna hjälper inte till att ge det ett namn. Webbplatsen för ett företag som arbetade för att skapa dessa effekter kallade det bara Death Eater Apparition-effekten, eller Death Eater-rök, mer som ett sätt att förklara vad de menar än ett officiellt namn.

Syflex: Where in the film can your SyFlex work be spotted?

David: We used SyFlex in three sequences: the Graveyard, Dark Mark (ministry of magic wizard apparition), and the Portkey. There were 4 deatheater shots in the graveyard sequence and in total we created 7 deatheater digital doubles that had to be able to be seen very close up on screen. We had the task of creating the deatheater apparation effect. The Death Eaters were to arrive from the sky amongst an amorphous spear of smoke, stabbing into the ground and suddenly taking form amongst tendrils of this acrid black smoke. The black smoke needed to encircle the Death Eaters bodies, becoming the black of their swirling cloaks as they materialized.

De pratar ganska mycket om hur den specifika effekten utvecklades och varför den var utformad för att se hur den gör, men de refererar aldrig till det med något annat namn än Death Eater Apparition.

Syflex: You worked mostly on the Death Eaters... Can you tell us what were the director's requirements here?

David: The Death Eaters had to be dark and scary with a really sinister quality to their apparition effect. It needed to look like an 'amoprhous spear of smoke' stabbing into the ground, with a certain level of supernatural control to the smoke as it swirled around the materializing digital double. The director had shot plates of the deatheater actors as he imagined they would step forward out of the smoke at the end of their apparition, so we knew we could create a transition from a digital double to the real actor if we had to. The problem with this was the takeover point from one to the other - matching the exact position of a digital double to the actor at any particular point would have been very time consuming. In the end the cloth simulation and final render of the Death Eaters was so convincing that in a number of the shots we kept the digital double in the shot and left the actor out altogether.

Det här tycks innebära att detta företag (som fungerade med regissören) visade att det var en typ av Apparition som är unik för eller praktiserad huvudsakligen av Death Eaters. I så fall är det en delmängd av en redan namngiven typ av magi.
