Coincidentally, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley are each of the three distinct types of wizards; Harry being a half-blood, Hermione being a Muggle-born, and Ron being a pure-blood.
Other pure-blood families, such as the Crabbes, the Goyles, the Browns, the Moodys and the Princes also lacked non-magical ancestry like the Potters at the time the directory was drawn up, but unlike the aforementioned families, and like the Potters, they were excluded from the list, given the familiarity of their ...
Harry being half-blood, Ron being Pure-blood, and Hermione being Muggle-born. Due to the lesser detailed nature of the first three books of the series, some fans became confused on the definition of the term half-blood as the series continued and matured.
Though nominally a Muggle-born witch, Hermione is descended from the Dagworth-Granger family through her father's squib heritage. Though not an Ancient and Noble or Noble House, the Dagworth-Granger family is known for their natural potion-making skills.
Muggle-borns inherit magic from a distant ancestor; they are descended from Squibs who have married Muggles and whose families had lost the knowledge of their wizarding legacy. The magic resurfaces unexpectedly many generations later.
How did Hermione go to Hogwarts if she's a Muggle?
Any child born with magical ability in the United Kingdom and Ireland gets their name written down in the Hogwarts acceptance book (both the book and quill, which are enchanted, are the ones that sense this). This is how Hermione automatically gets admission into Hogwarts, though she can, of course, refuse to attend.
By the 1990s, most of the magical population were half-bloods. The children of Harry and Ginny Potter were considered half-bloods because although Ginny was pure-blood, Harry's mother was Muggle-born.
Draco Lucius Malfoy (b. 5 June 1980) was a British pure-blood wizard and the only son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy (née Black). The son of a Death Eater, Draco was raised to strongly believe in the importance of blood purity. He looked down on half-bloods and Muggle-borns.
He is a member of the Weasley family, a pure blood family that resides in "The Burrow" outside Ottery St. Catchpole. Being the only member of the three main characters raised in magical society, he also provides insight into the Wizarding World's magical customs and traditions.
It has nothing to do with genes and is just a construct of wizarding society. So the magical child of two muggle-born would be half-blood and a non-magical chld of two muggle-born a squib.
Identified pure-blood families include the Blacks, Crouches, Fudges, Gaunts (though this line died out before the beginning of Philosopher's Stone), Lestranges, Longbottoms, Malfoys and Weasleys (but the most recent generation has had half-blood members).
Luna Lovegood is a Pureblood witch, who was sorted into Gryffindor House during Harry Potter's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry.
Despite being a pure-blood, he didn't believe that he was superior to other witches, wizards and Muggles. He had a lot going for him and his well-placed morals were even more impressive if you think about the start that he had in life. Sirius came from a family of pure-blood fanatics.
Notes and references. ↑ In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 24 (Rita Skeeter's Scoop), Hagrid tells Harry that he hopes he wins the Triwizard Tournament as "It'd show 'em all ... yeh don' have ter be pureblood ter do it." implying that Cedric is a pure-blood.
Yes. His mother was the giantess Fridwulfa, who was a member of the giant colony that he and Madame Maxime visited in OotP. His dad was a half-blood wizard, and that makes Hagrid a half-blood.
J.K. Rowling says Draco doesn't have a patronus because he never learned the spell but I think it's because he doesn't have any powerful happy memories to use.
Family. Snape's family background is mostly shown in flashbacks during the course of the last three novels. Snape was born to Eileen Prince, a witch, and Tobias Snape, a Muggle, making him a half-blood (hence the name, "Half-Blood Prince").
However, the truth is that even if they did exist in the past, true pure-blood wizards and witches did not exist in the present day, as Squibs, Muggle-borns, and especially half-bloods were too common. These pure-blood families simply erased all Muggles, Squibs, and Muggle-borns from their family trees.
Sirius Black III (3 November 1959 – 18 June 1996), also known as Padfoot or Snuffles (in his Animagus form), was an English pure-blood wizard, the older son of Orion and Walburga Black, the older brother of Regulus Black, and godfather of Harry Potter.
Those who could not prove that they had magical heritage — in other words, any Muggle-born and potentially some half-bloods — were sentenced to Azkaban for having "stolen" magic. Some, however, were apparently released after being stripped of their wands and their jobs, and ended up homeless.
She and her husband were proud and accepting of their daughter's identity as a witch, which explained some strange things which happened around her when she was a child. They entered the magical world in 1992 to buy Hermione's school supplies, and were assisted by Arthur Weasley.
