'''Half-blood''' is the term commonly given to [[wizardkind|wizards and witches]] who have a [[Muggle]]/[[Muggle-born]] parent and magical parent. By the [[1990s]], half-bloods were the most common type of magical person, as the wizarding population would have become extinct had they not inter-married with Muggles and Muggle-borns.<ref name="CS">{{COS}}</ref>

'''Half-blood''' is the term commonly given to [[wizardkind|wizards and witches]] who had known [[Non-magic people|Muggle]] or [[Muggle-born]] parents or grandparents. By the [[1990s]], half-bloods were the most common type of [[Wizardkind|wizard or witch]], as the [[pure-blood]] wizarding population would have become extinct had they not inter-married with Muggles and Muggle-borns.<ref name="harry">[https://web.archive.org/web/20060316221500/https://web.archive.org/web/20060316221500/https://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/faq_view.cfm?id=58 FAQ] at {{JKRS}} - "The expressions 'pure-blood', 'half-blood' and 'Muggle-born' have been coined by people to whom these distinctions matter, and express their originators' prejudices. As far as somebody like Lucius Malfoy is concerned, for instance, a Muggle-born is as 'bad' as a Muggle. Therefore Harry would be considered only 'half' wizard, because of his mother's grandparents.

If you think this is far-fetched, look at some of the real charts the Nazis used to show what constituted 'Aryan' or 'Jewish' blood. I saw one in the Holocaust Museum in Washington when I had already devised the 'pure-blood', 'half-blood' and 'Muggle-born' definitions, and was chilled to see that the Nazis used precisely the same warped logic as the Death Eaters. A single Jewish grandparent 'polluted' the blood, according to their propaganda."</ref><ref name="CS" />

==Overview==
−
Due to the dominance of the magic gene, children born to at least one magical parent will almost always be magical themselves. A non-magical child born to a Muggle and a wizard is considered a [[Squib]], not a Muggle.<ref>"[http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=19 Squibs]" at {{JKRS}}</ref> Such as [[Martha Steward II]] and [[Dolores Umbridge's brother]].
 
  +
It should be noted that any wizard or witch who is neither [[pure-blood]] nor [[Muggle-born]] is considered half-blood, even if they have two magical parents; they need not have ''exactly'' half-Muggle/half-wizard heritage.
   
  +
Non-magical children born with at least one magical parent are considered [[Squib]]s by the wizarding community rather than Half-bloods or Muggles.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20110713111531/http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=19 Squibs]" at {{JKRS}}</ref> Examples include [[Martha Steward II]], [[Dolores Umbridge's brother]], and [[Gilderoy Lockhart's sisters|Gilderoy Lockhart's two sisters]]. Because of their Muggle parentage, many end up assimilating into the Muggle population as they would have more trouble thriving within the magical community.

==Attitude towards half-bloods==

{{Quote|You dare speak his name with your unworthy lips, you dare besmirch it with your half-blood's tongue, you dare...

  +
Magical children born to a Muggle-born and a Muggle are considered half-bloods, such as [[Penny Haywood|Penny]] and [[Beatrice Haywood]].

==Treatment==
−
Those who believe in the importance of [[blood purity]] consider half-bloods to be inferior because of their [[Muggle]] heritage, though superior to [[Muggle-born]]s. Occasionally the term "half-blood" can be used in a derogatory manner, similar to the epithet "[[Mudblood]]"; Bellatrix Lestrange and the portrait of [[Walburga Black]] did so on multiple occasions.<ref name="OTP">{{OOTP}}</ref>

{{Quote|You dare speak his name with your unworthy lips, you dare besmirch it with your half-blood's tongue, you dare... He dared — he dares — he stands there — filthy half-blood — |Prejudice against Harry Potter's half-blood status from Bellatrix Lestrange|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film)}}[[File:Potter family2.png|240px|thumb|left|[[Harry Potter]] and his children are half-bloods with known Muggle ancestry]]
   
  +
Those who believe in the importance of [[Blood status|blood purity]] consider half-bloods to be inferior because of their [[Non-magic people|Muggle]] heritage, though superior to [[Muggle-born]]s. As such, some families such as the [[Malfoy family|Malfoys]] allowed them to marry into their pure-blood family and could do so without affecting their family's pure-blood status.<ref name="malfoy">{{WW|the-malfoy-family}} - "From the imposition of the Statute of Secrecy onwards, no Malfoy has married a Muggle or Muggle-born. The family has, however, eschewed the somewhat dangerous practise of inter-marrying within such a small pool of pure-bloods that they become enfeebled or unstable, unlike a small minority of fanatic families such as the Gaunts and Lestranges, and many a half-blood appears on the Malfoy family tree."</ref>
⚫
Some half-bloods expressed prejudice towards those with Muggle heritage, despite having some themselves, and clung to what wizarding heritage they had. Notably, Lord Voldemort hated Muggles and Muggle-borns, despite having a Muggle father, and denied his half-Muggle heritage, leaving hints that he was a pure-blood instead, emphasising his heritage to the famous pure-blood ancestor, [[Salazar Slytherin]], to make himself more believable.<ref name="CS" /> [[Severus Snape]] may be another example; his self-entitled nickname was "[[Severus Snape|''Half-Blood Prince'']]" because his mother, [[Eileen Prince]], was a pure-blood witch and his father, [[Tobias Snape]], was a Muggle. However, [[Remus Lupin]] reported that he never used the nickname openly. This, as well as Snape's membership in the [[Death Eaters]], suggests he may have been ashamed of his Muggle heritage, at least in his early life.<ref name="HBP">{{HBP}}</ref> In fact, these people, along with some other Death Eaters, pretend to be pure-bloods, hiding their Muggle heritage from anyone else; most of them are half-bloods due to centuries of dilution and decline of what may be called as a true "pure-blood". Ironically (or perhaps because of), regarding the Prophecy concerning his defeat, Voldemort chose to go after a half-blood Harry Potter instead of the pure-blood [[Neville Longbottom]].
  
   
  +
Other more fanatical families such as the [[House of Gaunt|Gaunts]], [[Lestrange family|Lestranges]], and [[House of Black|Blacks]], require all marriages to be those of [[Pure-blood]].<ref name="malfoy" /><ref name="gaunt">{{HBP|B|10}} - Marvolo Gaunt: "Centuries it’s been in our family, that’s how far back we go, and pure-blood all the way!"</ref> Members of these families are more likely to use "half-blood" in a derogatory manner, similar to the epithet "[[Mudblood]]"; [[Bellatrix Lestrange]] did so on multiple occasions,<ref name="OTP35">{{OOTP|B|35}}</ref> and the [[Walburga Black's portrait|portrait of Walburga Black]] often equated half-bloods with [[Half-breed]]s.<ref>{{OOTP}}</ref>
⚫
When the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] fell under Voldemort's control in 1997, Muggle-borns were openly persecuted and pure-bloods were favoured above all else. Half-bloods were still accepted at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]], but were not treated as well as the pure-blood students.<ref name="DH">{{DH}}</ref>
  
   
  ⚫
Some half-bloods expressed prejudice towards those with Muggle heritage, despite having some themselves, and clung to what wizarding heritage they had. Notably [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] persecuted Muggles and Muggle-borns, despite the fact that his mother ([[Merope Riddle|Merope Gaunt]]) was a pure-blood witch and his father ([[Tom Riddle Senior|Tom Riddle Snr]]) was a Muggle. He denied his Muggle heritage, instead emphasising his wizard ancestors; his legend-entitled nickname was "[[Tom Riddle|''Heir of Slytherin'']]" because his most notable wizard ancestor ([[Salazar Slytherin]]) was a famous pure-blood champion, which made himself more believable.<ref name="CS">{{COS|B|7}} - Ron: "Most wizards these days are half-blood anyway. If we hadn’t married Muggles we’d’ve died out.”"</ref> [[Severus Snape]] may be another example; his self-entitled nickname was "''[[Severus Snape|Half-Blood Prince]]''" because his mother ([[Eileen Prince]]) was a pure-blood witch and his father ([[Tobias Snape]]) was a Muggle. However, [[Remus Lupin]] reported that he never used the nickname openly. This, as well as Snape's membership in the [[Death Eaters]], suggests he may have been ashamed of his Muggle heritage, at least in his early life.<ref name="HBP">{{HBP}}</ref> In fact, these people, along with some other Death Eaters, pretend to be pure-bloods, hiding their Muggle heritage from anyone else.<ref>{{HBP|B|12}} - " "“The Death Eaters can’t all be pure-blood, there aren’t enough pure-blood wizards left,” said Hermione stubbornly. “I expect most of them are half-bloods pretending to be pure. It’s only Muggle-borns they hate, they’d be quite happy to let you and Ron join up.”""</ref> Ironically (or perhaps because of), regarding the [[Sybill Trelawney's first prophecy|prophecy concerning his defeat]], Voldemort chose to go after the half-blood [[Harry Potter]] instead of the pure-blood [[Neville Longbottom]].

Potter family 2 - Harry as baby

Half-blood Harry Potter is the son of a pure-blood wizard and a Muggle-born witch

"Most wizards these days are half-blood anyway. If we hadn’t married Muggles we’d’ve died out."
— Half-blood statistic and blood purity[src]

Half-blood is the term commonly given to wizards and witches who had known Muggle or Muggle-born parents or grandparents. By the 1990s, half-bloods were the most common type of wizard or witch, as the pure-blood wizarding population would have become extinct had they not inter-married with Muggles and Muggle-borns.[1][2]

Overview

It should be noted that any wizard or witch who is neither pure-blood nor Muggle-born is considered half-blood, even if they have two magical parents; they need not have exactly half-Muggle/half-wizard heritage.

Non-magical children born with at least one magical parent are considered Squibs by the wizarding community rather than Half-bloods or Muggles.[3] Examples include Martha Steward II, Dolores Umbridge's brother, and Gilderoy Lockhart's two sisters. Because of their Muggle parentage, many end up assimilating into the Muggle population as they would have more trouble thriving within the magical community.

Magical children born to a Muggle-born and a Muggle are considered half-bloods, such as Penny and Beatrice Haywood.

Treatment

"You dare speak his name with your unworthy lips, you dare besmirch it with your half-blood's tongue, you dare... He dared — he dares — he stands there — filthy half-blood — "
— Prejudice against Harry Potter's half-blood status from Bellatrix Lestrange[src]
Potter family2

Harry Potter and his children are half-bloods with known Muggle ancestry

Those who believe in the importance of blood purity consider half-bloods to be inferior because of their Muggle heritage, though superior to Muggle-borns. As such, some families such as the Malfoys allowed them to marry into their pure-blood family and could do so without affecting their family's pure-blood status.[4]

Other more fanatical families such as the Gaunts, Lestranges, and Blacks, require all marriages to be those of Pure-blood.[4][5] Members of these families are more likely to use "half-blood" in a derogatory manner, similar to the epithet "Mudblood"; Bellatrix Lestrange did so on multiple occasions,[6] and the portrait of Walburga Black often equated half-bloods with Half-breeds.[7]

Some half-bloods expressed prejudice towards those with Muggle heritage, despite having some themselves, and clung to what wizarding heritage they had. Notably Lord Voldemort persecuted Muggles and Muggle-borns, despite the fact that his mother (Merope Gaunt) was a pure-blood witch and his father (Tom Riddle Snr) was a Muggle. He denied his Muggle heritage, instead emphasising his wizard ancestors; his legend-entitled nickname was "Heir of Slytherin" because his most notable wizard ancestor (Salazar Slytherin) was a famous pure-blood champion, which made himself more believable.[2] Severus Snape may be another example; his self-entitled nickname was "Half-Blood Prince" because his mother (Eileen Prince) was a pure-blood witch and his father (Tobias Snape) was a Muggle. However, Remus Lupin reported that he never used the nickname openly. This, as well as Snape's membership in the Death Eaters, suggests he may have been ashamed of his Muggle heritage, at least in his early life.[8] In fact, these people, along with some other Death Eaters, pretend to be pure-bloods, hiding their Muggle heritage from anyone else.[9] Ironically (or perhaps because of), regarding the prophecy concerning his defeat, Voldemort chose to go after the half-blood Harry Potter instead of the pure-blood Neville Longbottom.

When the Ministry of Magic fell under Voldemort's control in 1997, Muggle-borns were openly persecuted and pure-bloods were favoured above all else. Half-bloods were still accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and in the British Ministry of Magic, but were not treated as well as the pure-blood members.[10][11]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ FAQ at J. K. Rowling's official site - "The expressions 'pure-blood', 'half-blood' and 'Muggle-born' have been coined by people to whom these distinctions matter, and express their originators' prejudices. As far as somebody like Lucius Malfoy is concerned, for instance, a Muggle-born is as 'bad' as a Muggle. Therefore Harry would be considered only 'half' wizard, because of his mother's grandparents. If you think this is far-fetched, look at some of the real charts the Nazis used to show what constituted 'Aryan' or 'Jewish' blood. I saw one in the Holocaust Museum in Washington when I had already devised the 'pure-blood', 'half-blood' and 'Muggle-born' definitions, and was chilled to see that the Nazis used precisely the same warped logic as the Death Eaters. A single Jewish grandparent 'polluted' the blood, according to their propaganda."
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 7 (Mudbloods And Murmurs) - Ron: "Most wizards these days are half-blood anyway. If we hadn’t married Muggles we’d’ve died out.”"
  3. ↑ Squibs" at J. K. Rowling's official site
  4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 Writing by J. K. Rowling: "The Malfoy Family" at Wizarding World - "From the imposition of the Statute of Secrecy onwards, no Malfoy has married a Muggle or Muggle-born. The family has, however, eschewed the somewhat dangerous practise of inter-marrying within such a small pool of pure-bloods that they become enfeebled or unstable, unlike a small minority of fanatic families such as the Gaunts and Lestranges, and many a half-blood appears on the Malfoy family tree."
  5. ↑ Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 10 (The House of Gaunt) - Marvolo Gaunt: "Centuries it’s been in our family, that’s how far back we go, and pure-blood all the way!"

  7. ↑ Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
  8. ↑ Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
  9. ↑ Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 12 (Silver and Opals) - " "“The Death Eaters can’t all be pure-blood, there aren’t enough pure-blood wizards left,” said Hermione stubbornly. “I expect most of them are half-bloods pretending to be pure. It’s only Muggle-borns they hate, they’d be quite happy to let you and Ron join up.”""
  10. ↑ Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 29 (The Lost Diadem) - Neville: "They don’t want to spill too much pure blood, so they’ll torture us a bit if we’re mouthy but they won’t actually kill us."
  11. ↑ Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 13 (The Muggle-Born Registration Commission) - "“No, no, I’m half-blood, I’m half-blood, I tell you! My father was a wizard, he was, look him up, Arkie Alderton, he’s a well-known broomstick designer, look him up, I tell you — get your hands off me, get your hands off —”"

  20. ↑ Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 30 (The White Tomb) - "He’s just like Voldemort. Pure-blood mother, Muggle father . . . ashamed of his parentage, trying to make himself feared using the Dark Arts, gave himself an impressive new name — Lord Voldemort — the Half-Blood Prince — how could Dumbledore have missed — ?”"
