    People must be stupid to think that Harry is a Pure-blood. It was more than once mentioned what blood status he is in the books. Heck,that's also one of the reasons why Voldemort chose him instead of Neville.

    • @concepts4700

      For real.
      For an individual to be pure-blood, the witch or wizard should at least have no Muggle or Muggle-born parents or grandparents. Therefore, the child (Harry) of James and Lily is a half-blood because his mother is muggleborn and the grandparents muggles. Rowling explained it in her own words in the past. It was also mentioned by Riddle in the second book that Harry is a half-blood just like him and later by Dumbledore.
      “But he might have chosen wrong!” said Harry. “He might have marked the wrong person!”
      “He chose the boy he thought most likely to be a danger to him,” said Dumbledore. “And notice this, Harry.* He chose, not the pureblood (which, according to his creed, is the only kind of wizard worth being or knowing), but the half-blood, like himself.* He saw himself in you before he had ever seen you.”
      - *Order of the Phoenix, chapter 37 (The Lost Prophecy)*
      J.K. answer:
      _Why are some people in the wizarding world (e.g., Harry) called 'half-blood' even though both their parents were magical?_
      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.*
      How is Harry a pure-blood for some? If they don't know about the generations rule, then at least read the books right.

      Concepts You’re right except that Rowling’s books also say that a Pureblood is a wizard or witch born to two magical(i.e. wizard and witch) and further the sacred 28 includes a family that is NOT BRITISH the Malfoy’s, also this is all created by a bigot and supported by a man that has less magical blood then Harry.

    • @hey_its_annabel
      @hey_its_annabel 6 років тому +19

      @Tornado Taylor, no he’s a halfblood. Since muggle borns do not have wizard ‘blood’ since they don’t come from wizard families. If u don’t believe me then go read the books or Pottermore

    • @matthewrosenthal753
      @matthewrosenthal753 6 років тому +8

      Blossom Gam3r If you read the books and Pottermore then there are no Purebloods at all because they all start with a Muggleborn. Therefore bigots put in place rules to make them special.

    I find Harry's Family Line to be so facanating and intriguing, especially in regards to him being related to Ignotus (which would also make him a bit related to Voldemort when you really think about it). And this video really explained that perfectly (along with what different magical blood types make!!!)! :)

      @NoTheOtherJonathan I know that. I was talking about other people who keep arguing there are other percentages despite the fact that the books only use the terms muggle, squib, muggleborn, half blood & pure blood for saying what someone's status was. So there are only 3 classifications for wizards since squibs have no power & are basically treated the same as muggles.

Then they had to watch Snape bully and harass Harry for years, and finally have all of Hogwarts and the wizarding world turn their backs on him. Oh yeah, and also watch their son suffer and nearly die for their world year after year, and have Harry suffer PTSD at only 14, have Umbitch torture him in detention the next year...
      Nah, but Harry's suffering can't possibly compare to Snape's, LMFAO!!! smh

    Your bloodline definitions are correct for Great Britain.
    However, in America the definition is different. A pureblood is any child of two magical parents. According to MACUSA law a Muggle-born is a child of two Muggles. There were no Half-bloods because magicals were not allowed to marry non-magicals. A half blood from abroad would be classed as a pure blood in America unless one parent is a Muggle and then probably as a Muggle-born. After the repeal of Rappaport's law in 1965 a marriage of a Maj with a No-maj would produce a Half-blood. The biggest difference though is that under MACUSA law blood status means very little. You either have magic or you don't. I read this on the Internet
    It is extremely probable that various countries have different laws defining blood status. There is no international law that defines blood status. We may see that France and Germany have their own definitions. Statuses might include whether you are a veela or part veels.

      Yeah I think so too, I've read an article about it. The Malfoy family were actually living and mingled with the muggles in the muggle world, married muggles but then I THINK! A Malfoy got into trouble which later had left him and his family with only 2 choices;
      1) if they continued to stay in the Muggle world most of their muggle properties/assets would be taken and they'll loose their connections.
      2) Leave if they don't want that to happen.
      So basically by looking at how the Malfoy's use their Wealth and connections to get to their positions instead of working they'll not choose the 1st choice as many of their family's assets will be taken in exchange and they'll loose their connections. So they went with the 2nd choice that is leaving the Muggle world and going back to the wizarding world. They stopped associating themselves with the muggles and later started disliking muggle-born witch and wizards/ones who did not have pure blood, after leaving the muggle world they didn't marry any muggles to maintain their image as the Pure blood (altho they're not)family like the Blacks. They started building connections with Wizarding families of the upper class/Pure blood.
      After leaving the Muggle world they built a manor. The place where Draco's Father's wand was taken and destroyed by Voldemort or the one where Dobby came to rescue Harry And his friends from The death waters but got himself killed(Dobby).

    • @tamarasmith9060
      @tamarasmith9060 6 років тому +10

      Well the muggles wouldn't know the child's magical heritage, so he would be assumed to be a muggleborn from the law's perspective. But it's not likely for that to happen since the wizards tend to keep up with each other, & so they would probably have wizard family members or friends as godparents, who would then produce papers to any muggles or muggle society who had taken temporary custody after the parents died. Harry was deliberately hidden with muggle family that knew of wizard existence & knew his status. Voldemort ended up in an orphanage because his wizard grandfather didn't want him since he was a half-blood & didn't bother to track him down after his daughter died. Their family wasn't liked so nobody else had been named godparent by the mom before she killed herself*. They were rare cases.
      *When I said killed herself, I didn't mean direct suicide, I meant dying due to lack of even caring for herself physically due to her depression, which lead to weakness, illness & her death. She felt she couldn't (or maybe due to pride wouldn't) look for a way to earn money in the muggle world to support herself once her husband left her. She didn't have wizard connections other than her own family, & since she defied their pureblood beliefs by marrying & breeding with a muggle, she couldn't go back to them. In the story it sounds like they were also so disliked they didn't have friends that she could go to. Her own magic skills seemed to be not nearly good enough for a wizard job of some sort, but I always thought surely there was some sort of help she could get from the Ministry if she overcame her pride & asked. It's common sense that they would have some system similar to welfare to help wizards in emergencies, because they wouldn't want wizards to be starving to death or homeless.

    • @lusciouslipslibra
      @lusciouslipslibra 6 років тому +10

      This comment actually made me think about the magical tracker put on younger wizards. Voldemort was using magic to torture the kids at the orphanage. Does this mean he didn't have the tracker on him? Do parents have to register their child to get one?

    • @tamarasmith9060
      @tamarasmith9060 6 років тому +5

      I don't remember much description in the books on how the trackers work. Apparently nobody in the department that covered up accidental magic knew Voldemort was using his powers in the orphanage & intervened, so it must not be automatic at birth. However Dumbledore tracked him to the orphanage when it was almost time for him to go to school, so there must be some kind of magic tracker they use regularly to search for unregistered wizard kids like muggleborns who need to be signed up for a magic school. I guess once a child's magic is developed enough to regularly show itself then they can be found that way. Still, once found the individual trackers must be put on them somehow, because they seem to know right away when one particular kid uses their power in a public place or outside of school, like when Harry made his uncle's sister float away. There's no description that I recall of who does it or how it works, other than it automatically stops when they turn 17.

      😂 Yes, that's because of the modern genetics theory vs the old law of establishing status by number of magical generations. If the stories carried on into a few more generations, there may be a change in the status laws based on modern scientific study. Of course, that's assuming the "pureblood" families can't gather enough political backing to overcome the majority of wizards in the vote.

    IMO I’m pretty sure most pure bloods have a half-blood/muggleborn in their line somewhere. Like Hermione said half of them are pretending to be pure blood when they’re half blood. Still though doesn’t change the fact that Harry, Snape and Voldemort were all half-blood wizards and quite extraordinary. So the idea that you have to be pure blood to be great isn’t the case.

    If you had one parent who was born and raised in the magical community, you are a half-blood.
    If one or both of your parents had squib ancestors (born in the magical community but has no magical potential), then you are a Muggle-born (or crudely known as "mudblood").

Another couple, anyone can see as together is Victorie Weasley(daughter of Pure-blood Bill and part veela Fleur) and Teddy Lupin(half-blood), the child would be, from what i gather, is a witch/wizard with a quarter of veela blood and lycan but also Metamorphmagus.
