A half-goblin or part-goblin was a half-breed between a goblin, whose ancestry accounted for their diminutive size, and a human.[1]

Place in society[]

As half-breeds, half-goblins fell into the same prejudices that other half-breeds suffered. Dolores Umbridge was renowned for and later punished for crimes against half-breeds. On the other hand, the only known part-goblin, Filius Flitwick, was trained in the human magical arts, as shown by his carrying a wand, having attended Hogwarts and teaching there. This proved that part-goblins were allowed to carry wands and perform wand magic, and were not covered by the Wand Ban that forbade full goblins from using wands, though they would be capable of using magic.
