Half-Veela

1994-1995


A Half-Veela us a cross-breed between a human male and a veela. From their father they gain magical ability (unless they are a squib or otherwise are born without magical abilities). From their mother, they gain some veela abilities, such as the ability to entrance men supernaturally. From their mothers, they also gain exceptional beauty.

Because they are half-breeds, half-veelas may come under the same prejudices that befall other half-breeds, though they are more difficult to detect than other half-breeds, such as half-giants, because apart from their great physical beauty, they are otherwise identical to humans.

It is unknown if half-veela or part-veela can be male. All examples of part-veelas are female.

Apolline Delacour is a half-veela. Fleur Delacour, Gabrielle Delacour, and Victoire Weasley are part-veelas.
