Blood purity (Harry Potter)

Blood purity is a concept in the fictional Harry Potter book series. It is a form of class prejudice and also has analogies to racism.

Segregation in the Wizarding World

The general public considers the notion of such strict segregation obsolete and false, but some who would benefit the most from it strongly disagree. There is some evidence that the idea of blood purity has enjoyed greater support in the past and is in decline as Muggle ancestry becomes more and more common. Indeed magical ancestry and ability are unrelated in reality as some of the most powerful characters in the series were muggle-borns.
