(Redirected from Pure-Blood)
Pure-blood is the term given to those witches and wizards who come from purely magical parentage, and can trace their family back through many generations of magical folk.
Many pure-bloods see themselves as superior to those witches and wizards who are born to Muggles. They believe that Muggles are little more than animals, and that Muggle-borns are second-class citizens, unworthy of being allowed to practice magic. However, there are pure-bloods who do not follow this belief, and instead treat all magical people and Muggles as equals. These pure-blood folk are often labelled "blood traitors" by the more fanatical pure-bloods.
