Can anda please explain how Harry is a half-blood?

Harry is half blood because his father (James) was pureblood, having a father and mother that both magical and come from magical parents. His grandparents are also the same.

His mother (Lily) comes from a Muggle family and she is magical. This is because generations earlier a Squib (born to a magical family but not magical at all) married a Muggle and several generations after Lily was born with magic.

This is how Harry is half blood he has a pureblood father and muggleborn mother.

For lebih info check out harrypotter.wikia.com and go to the "Half-Blood" page, it will explain it in lebih detail

Harry Potter is a HALF-BLOOD! This is because the basis of being pure-blooded of whatever is in your family! If your parents are both of wizarding ancestry, like Malfoy's, anda are pure blooded. But if one of your parents is a muggle-born and one is of wizarding origin, anda are a half-blood. If both your parents are muggles, anda are a muggle-born wizard.

If the basis of being a pure blood is the ability to do magic, then why is Hermione a mudblood? Is is when she eventually gets married, Rose and Hugo are pure bloods? NO!

So, that is it. It is based on anda ancestry, not on your ability to do magic!!!! :)

He isn't, he's pureblood because his parents are wizard/witch:P Half-blood is when one parent is a muggle& the other is a pureblood, like Lord Voldemort. His mother was a witch but his father was a muggle.

Harry is half-blood because his father was pureblood and his mother a muggle-born. anda might be thinking: "He has two magical parents! Isn't he pureblood?" Well, according to the Harry Potter Wiki, a pureblood is a witch atau wizard with all-magical grandparents, at the very least. Harry is not pureblood because his maternal grandparents would be muggles (Lily's parents).

His mom, Lily Evans, was a muggle-born and his dad, James Potter, was a pureblood.

well harry's mother is a muggle born witch wheras his father is a pureblood wizard ....
so since his father and mother are both different ......
that is how harry is a half blood ..

Well, anda see, now I'M confused because of what people have been saying... i though that because both of Harry's parents could do magic, that makes him...

ahhh...

I see. I think that Jk's thinking is just a little flawed here, because if your grandparents were pure but your dad married a muggle, wouldn't that make anda a quarter-blood? atau wouldn't that make lebih sense?

Anyway, Harry isn't the half-blood prince... Snape is. He made up the nick name for himself because he was proud of being half blood.

Since Lily Potter was Muggle-born and James Potter was (presumably? [I can't remember nor be stuffed checking right now]) a Pureblood, there is no way for Harry to be a Pureblood. Half-blood is the only way to describe him, since no other name was diberikan oleh J.K Rowling.

I am of the belief that Ms. Rowling didn't intend to confuse anyway oleh Harry's heritage, and the buku plainly explain why Harry was Half-blood.

It doesn't seem to matter that Lily was a witch, because Muggle-borns are placed as lowly as Muggles in the Harry Potter universe.

He is half-blood cuz when he was a baby Voldemor killed his family and he did not hurt Harry.

I think 'pure-bloods' only believe people to be a pure-blood if both their parents are pure-blood, because Lily was a muggle born then they'd believe Harry to be a haf-blood. This would be the reason that Pure-bloods are dying out. Similar to ancient Greece, where to be a citizen both of your parents had to be citizens too.

since harrys mom is muggle-born and his das is pure-blood,hes half blood.it is pretty confusing.

well in my opinion he is a half blood. Beacuse hes mother was a muggle born and his father a pure blood. so yeah

Harry's mother Lily, had muggle parents. (remember, Harry's horrid muggle Aunt warna ungu tua, petunia is Lily's sister. :) And from what I can recall, Harry's father James is pureblood.

Harry is a HALF-BLOOD becuase Harry's father, James, is pure-blood; but Harry's mother, Lily, is muggle-born. Remember, she has the muggle warna ungu tua, petunia as a sister.

Its because his mom Lilly was
MUGGLE-BORN!!!!!

Actually Pure-Bloods is a generation of full witches and wizards, no muggles involved. Since Harry's mom was a muggleborn her parents were muggles. Since James who was a pure blood marries a muggle born he broke the pure bloodline since he married Lily who had muggle parents.

Hope that isn't confusing it is hard to explain

hes lebih like 3/4 wizard because his mom is a muggle-born witch and his dad is a "pure blood" wizard

He isnt a half blood

his dads a pureblood and mom is muggleborn (mudblood) so their fore he is half blood get it

His father was a pure blood and his mother was of a muggle descent. That makes him half-blood. As for 3/4 blood, that would be Harry's kids with Ginny.

Harry wasn't the half kap, hood snap was idiot read and watch the movie and he was pureblood

Harry is a half-blood because he had one parent who was a "pure-blood" and one parent who was not. Muggleborns, like Lily, are not considered any better than muggles themselves, despite the fact that they have magic. So, they would use the derogatory name ("half-blood") to describe him.

Since Voldemort's ideology is an obvious allegory of Nazism, it is not surprising that his categorisation should follow the Nurenberg Laws, whereby someone with one atau two Jewish grandparents was a Mischling (mixed blood). Harry's mother Lily was a witch but also a mud-blood: her parents were Muggles, which was enough to make Harry a half-blood in Voldemort's eyes.
