pure blood.....almost...., one question....somebody answer!!!!! Options

[OmegaprimeVKM]

If someone is a Muggle born witch/wizard, doesn't that make them not a muggle? It doesn't make sense to me, because Harry had 2 parents who were Magical, surely that makes him pure blood?

[WickedWitchOfThe...]

When someone is born in a Muggle family, but are a witch/wizard, then they are a witch/wizard, but a Muggle-born one. A Mudblood (for lack of a better word), if you will. In Harry's case, both his parents were magical. I can't remember if James was a pure-blood or not, I think he was, but let's say he was. In this case, you have a pure-blood mixed with a Mudblood, making a Half-Blood. If Harry and Ginny have children, their children would be a quarter Mudblood. Now, I'm pretty sure there isn't any such thing as a quarter-blooded wizard/witch in the HP world, so those children would probably be considered pure-blooded.

[Mathias_thechose...]

Oh, I'd bet there is, I'm pretty sure, unless everyone inbread in the magical world, I'm sure they'de just call a person in that case, quarter-blood? Though since, Ginny is full, and Harry is half, maybe they would just call them pure, so they wouldn't get confused?

[Hermione@13]

I've never heard quarter-blood used before, so I think everyone else's rightin saying they would just call them a pure-blood. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) It might be possible that the Weasleys might be quarter-blood or less?! What if their great great great great great grandpa was a Muggle?

[WickedWitchOfThe...]

See, that's where all the Half-Blood nonsense really gets annoying. The Weasley's are Pure-Blood. When do you start calling a family Pure-Blood if they have had a Muggle marriage in the past? We never have heard the terms "Quarter-Blood", "Eighth-Blood", "Sixteenth-Blood" or anything else like it. Just Pure-Blood, Half-Blood and Mudblood. So, what would Harry and Ginny's children be called? I'd like to think Pure-Blood, but we really don't know. They wouldn't be Pure-Blooded, would they? So, would it be Half-Blood? They wouldn't be Half-Blooded though. So, Mudblood? But they would have a Pure-Blooded mother and a Half-Blooded father. I suppose that one might be the most accurate, but Mudblood is reserved for those born from a Muggle family with magical powers. So what would it be? There is only one person on this planet that could answer this question for us, and to be honest, I'd much rather have her writing away on book 7 than answering questions for those of us who delve a little too deeply into the Series.

You ain't just whistlin Dixie 'lil sista!!! People need to leave that woman alone so she can get the book done!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I found a quote from Sorcerer's Stone pg.99. This is a quote from Ron.

"I think Mom's got a second cousin who's an accountant, but we never talk about him."

For the people who knows what my other post said, I told you I would read the book over again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I'll have you know though that when you take your trip across the pond I'm expecting you to look her up, take the trip up north, and put a poster up on her driveway gate asking her to finish soon cause we're all dying out here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

"I think Mom's got a second cousin who's an accountant, but we never talk about him."

I don't think this is a very good quote if you're trying to say that the Weasley's may have Muggle ancestors, Hermione. I appreciate the effort, but you left out the most important part of it, the part when Harry asks if all of Ron's family are wizards and Ron says he thinks so. Still though, I do believe they are pure Pure-Bloods. With the little bits of information we have been given throughout the books about the Weasley's and the little tidbits of information that Jo has given us about them, I tend to believe that that quote is more likely saying that their accountant cousin is a Squib rather than a Muggle.

[Hermione@13]

Yeah, I know it's not clear. Sorry about that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sorry.gif) Well, I was sort of making up the conclusion that he's a Muggle because Harry did ask if all his family are wizards, but it wasn't very clear. If he is a Squib it makes sense because Ron's dad loves to study Muggles and Molly's second cousin might've wanted a first hand experience with Muggles, but then again he isn't related to Arthur.

You can bet your Sweet Bippy that if we don't have at least a release date, by time I head to England, I *will* be trying to look her up!!! YepYep!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[harrypotter11]

I have no clue what you'd call Ginny and Harry's baby. The only possibilities are Pure-blood, Half-blood, Squib, or as I call it Neville. Neville is a wizard but at first I think his Grandma couldn't find any powers so that should be a classification!!!

[the_prisoner_of_...]

Neville. Ah, the poor guy. He is a wizard and his time will come. Have faith!

[Guest_jujubee_*]

^I'm hoping Neville really opens up and kicks some serious butt in the last book.

But if Harry is a half-blood and Ginny a pure-blood, why say that their children are pure-blooded when they would only be half-bloods.

[Fletch]

ok, here is what I'm thinking... Harry's Mom was a Mudblood, she married a pureblood, their offspring (Harry) or that generation would be considered pureblood because he is a wizard born to a Witch and Wizard. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wizard2.gif)

No, technically Harry is a half-blood. He's half pure and half mud. What his and Ginny's children would be called we do not know, for Jo has never clarified if there is a term for a Quarter-blood wizard/witch. One day she may let us know, but for now all we have is speculation.

[Aimzie]

harrys dad is a pure blood but his mum is a muggle born
so he is a half blood
so harry and ginny kids will be half bloods cause their mum is pure and thier dad is half blood

[Phoenix70]

This is one of the most confusing thig to me in the HP books. Everyone keeps talking about blood. Now I don;t know if any of you a gree, but would it depend on the context, or way JKR could have meant it to be? I mean if you judge someone by their magical blood, than wouldn't most wizards be pure blood still? If you judge it on Geneology, it makes much more sense. I believe JKR said thoughout her books that pure bloods where depleting fastly correct? (corrct me if i'm wrong please!) so wouldn't that mean that she judges by line of decent?

I am reading the DH right now, and noticed that Hermione borrowed the Wizarding geneology book from Kreacher. I believe that she sai that the Peverells were one of the 1st pure blood families to end, although that does not mean that there is no one being a decendent to them. Harry, (I'm going with Aimzie on this on) is half-blood. Yes his mother was a witch, but muggle-born like Hermione. Thus making the line of pure-blood potters extinct. Would that be correct?

Yes, I also believe that Harry's kids will be either half blood, or a little closer to 3/4ths blood, right. Harry is still a half blood, and Ginny a pure blood.

I don;t know this is just a theory, can someone correct me if I'm wrong please!

[the_prisoner_of_...]

From what I gather, a child born to a half-blood and a pure-blood could not be considered a true pure-blood child. It's all about how 'clean' the blood is and the line is. True pure blood families are where a pure-blood and a pure-blood marry. Both the Malfoys and the Blacks were pure blood families therefore Draco is a pure-blood. Even among pure-bloods there are different levels of purity I guess.

[drishti sharan]

harry is half-blood, and ginny is pure blood, and they're married, so would their children be called three-quarters blood???

[imperio]

I'm sure theirs allready a thread about this somewhere (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) .




I'l try to look for it.


I may me mistaken though.
