Muggle-blood

pure blood

Half-blood

"You place too much importance, and you always have done, on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!" - Albus Dumbledore's stance on blood status.

There are some kind of racial discrimination in the novel like casteism, racism and class conflict. There are three kind of class Mud blood, Pure blood and Half blood. Blood status also called purity of blood is a concept in the wizarding world that distinguishes between family trees that have different levels of magically-endowed members. It often results in prejudice towards those who have a large numbers of muggles in their families. As Sirius black informed Harry Potter, almost all wizards of their time have Muggles in their family trees, though some claim not to. The concept played a key role in both the first and second Wizarding wars. Families that claim to be pure, to whatever extent they ever really were are dwindling in number.

Thank you.............
