Goblin

Hi, I'm kinda for fun putting together what would basically be a guide to the Wizarding world for muggleborns. It would be a "book" discussing the government structure, wizarding culture, the economy, but also societal norms, and culture/etiquette of other magical societies such as Goblins and Centaurs. However I am doing this in the context of a fanfic and want to expand on what is canon using fanon. However I would appreciate some ideas from people. I'm looking for the kind of fanon worldbuilding that tends to show up in fanfics. For example:

• Family Magicks

• Wizarding Lordships and Wizengamot stuff

• Gringotts not only being a bank but also being the ones who handle family/inheritance/lordship/Family Magicks records and legal documents. As well as Goblin Culture.

• Wizarding Specific etiquette

• Pagan holidays

• Creature Inheritance type stuff (I'm doing this as a complementary thing for a fic I'm writing that has creature inheritances) and any creatures you'd like to see listed in this creature inheritance guide and anything you can think of about the creature

• The Mechanics of Magic

• Wizarding Values

• Fanon info on specific characters

• House-elf lore

Those are a few examples but any Fanon worldbuilding stuff you can think of and want to share, I plan to upload this guide on AO3 and Wattpad when it's finished

In your opinion, which non-human creature/being do you consider to be the most intelligent in the Wizarding World? Personally, I find Goblins to be particularly astute. However, I'm curious to know your thoughts on the matter.

Why don’t we see more diversity in Hogwarts? To teach a Hogwarts I’m assuming that you have to be educated, therefore Professor Flitwick would have had to attend school somewhere. There are a lot of goblins kinda just chilling at Gringotts in the movies, so wouldn’t they have to be educated as well. Why aren’t there really any goblin characters vibing at Hogwarts as far as we are aware? What about any other intelligent creatures?

The reason why Filius Flitwick was short was because he had Goblin ancestory.

Ok so like what would you be if both of your parents are half-blood? What would you be if one of your parents is pure blood and the other is half-blood? What would you be if one parent is half-blood, and the other is Muggle-born? What would you be called if your parents are Squibs? Would you be Squib-born? Is it possible for you to have a house-elf or goblin as one or both of your parents? Finally, is half-giant a blood status? Thank you!

💥Goblin Rights in the Wizarding World:💥

"We're not just ugly fairies!" — Brotherhood_of_Goblins Slogan

Goblins have been an important part of the Wizarding world for centuries and trusted with protecting and storing the greatest treasures of Wizards and Witches everywhere through Gringotts Wizarding Bank .

They are one of the few magical citizens classed as a "Being" defined as "any creature that has sufficient intelligence to understand the laws of the magical community and to bear part of the responsibility in shaping those laws"...

...and yet through Wizarding History their representation on such bodies as the Wizengamot , or the Wizards' Council which later became the Ministry of Magic has been limited to Wizard representation in such bodies as the Goblin Liaison Office.

Stripped of rights with Wizarding law such as the Code of Wand Use, Goblin rights issues have been the catalyst for many Goblin Rebellions but without any real progress in Goblin Rights.

Griphook: "The right to carry a wand has long been contested between wizards and goblins."

Ron Weasley: "Well, goblins can do magic without wands."

Griphook: "That is immaterial! Wizards refuse to share the secrets of wandlore with other magical beings, they deny us the possibility of extending our powers! As the Dark Lord becomes ever more powerful, your race is set still more firmly above mine!”

💥Where do YOU stand on Goblin Rights? ⚖

This topic has been reused from the original Defence Against the Daft Arts. More Original topics coming soon!

Are goblins good or bad? Can their behaviour be well justified??? Why are they so protective of the Goblin-wrought silver and gold and stuff? 

Just overall... WHAT’S THEIR DEAL???
