Half-goblin

A half-goblin is a cross-breed between a human and a goblin. It is unknown if goblins can breed with Muggles, but since very few Muggles ever become aware that goblins exist, most half-goblins will have a magical parent. From this parent, they inherit magical ability, unless they happen to be a Squib. From their goblin parent, they gain small size and intelligence.

As half-breeds, half-goblins fall into the same prejudices that other half-breeds suffer. Dolores Umbridge was renowned for and later punished for crimes against half-breeds.
