What Are Blood Types in Harry Potter?
Also known as purity of blood, Blood Type is a typology based on mages’ and muggles’ bloodlines.
In Harry Potter, the five blood statuses are pure-blood (two magical parents), half-blood (only one magical parent), muggle-born (two no-Maj parents), Squib (born with no magical abilities), and half-breed (at least one non-human parent).
The blood supremacy concept is similar to human races in that it’s unscientific and discriminating.

How to Discover Your Harry Potter Blood Status?
Blood type—or gene, to be more accurate—affects neither a witch or wizard’s powers nor their personality. So, it’s challenging to identify your bloodline without knowing your mage or muggle ancestors.
However, if you already know which Harry Potter character you are, the following descriptions (and table) could help assess your blood purity.
Pure-Blood
In the Harry Potter series, a Pure-Blood is the descendant of at least three generations of magical parents. Any Muggle-blood association would contaminate a wizard’s blood and take the Pure-Blood status away.
The Sacred 28 are a group of families believed to be the initial lines of all Pure-Bloods. But that’s debatable.
Half-Blood
A Half-Blood is an offspring with one non-Pure-Blood parent (Muggle-Born, half-breed, squib, or no-Maj.).
Harry Potter is the best example of a Half-Blood. Despite his father being a Pure-Blood, Harry is considered a Half-Blood because his mom’s bloodline is impure.
Muggle-Born
A Muggle-Born is the Magical child of two non-Magical parents.
Hermione is a Muggle-Born because her parents are Muggles.
Squib
A Squib is a no-Maj born to a Magical family.
Argus Filch, for example, is a Muggle with wizard parents, which makes him a Squib.
The main difference between Muggles and Squibs is that the latter is allowed to remain in touch with the wizarding world—while the former is often unaware of such a world’s existence.
Half-Breed
A rare Blood Type, Half-Breed is a magical being with one human and one non-human parent.
Half-Breeds often inherit the magical abilities of their non-human parent while retaining human features.
How Does the Blood Supremacy Work in Harry Potter?
As a discriminatory ideology, Blood Types or Purity of Blood in Harry Potter works with the same principles as racism. Mages with non-pure bloodlines are considered weak and foul.
The derogatory term “Mudblood” results from discrimination against Muggle-Blood and other so-called impure wizards. Mudblood refers to them being blood traitors despite blood having nothing to do with their capabilities.
However, the ideology has faded as prejudiced wizards are no longer in power.
