Pure-blood

Pure-blood is the term given to those witches and wizards who come from "purely" magical heritage in that all four of their grandparents were wizards and witches. Some of the more severe schools of thought require several more generations of wizards to be considered pure-blood.

Some pure-blood families can trace their pure-blood status through many generations of magical folk and deny ever having any Muggles within the family. However, the truth is that if they ever did exist in the past, true pure-blood wizards and witches do not exist today, and that they merely erase Squibs and Muggles from their family trees.

Many pure-bloods see themselves as superior to those witches and wizards who are born to Muggles. They believe that Muggles are little more than animals, and that Muggle-borns are second-class citizens, unworthy of being allowed to practice magic. However, there are pure-bloods who do not follow this belief, and instead treat all magical people and Muggles as equals. These pure-blood folk are often labelled "blood traitors" by the more fanatical pure-bloods.
