Harry Potter, Mudblood Or Pureblood

[Zekk]

It clearly states in the books that anyone who its pure wizard all the way down the line is a mud-blood., and half-blood and mud-blood are basically thr same thing.

oh nw tt u mention it,harry's parents were both wizards..so y is he labelled half-blood?half-blood means a wizard or witch marrying a muggle..not a mudblood+pureblood T__T

Y'all, this should have cleared it up:

[quote]'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. - OOTP Chapter 37[/quote]

And if an official quote from the book doesn't do it for you, then here's Rowling's official reply on her official website:

[quote][b]Why are some people in the wizarding world (e.g., Harry) called 'half-blood' even though both their parents were magical?[/b]

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. [/quote]

For those of you who still don't get it, there have been plenty of people on this thread who have posted replys and know what they're talking about.

Id also like to point out the fact that Mudblood is not a stereo type like half-blood or pureblood, its a wizarding curse word used to insult those with any drop of Muggle blood heritage
