Lee Jordan: "And what would you say, Royal, to those listeners who reply that in Second Wizarding War, it should be 'Wizards first'?"
Kingsley Shacklebolt: "I'd say that it's one short step from 'Wizards first' to 'pure-bloods first,' and then to 'Death Eaters'. We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving."
—Kingsley Shacklebolt regarding the equality ofhumanity[src]

Human is a term referring to a species, for which the Latin name isHomo sapiens.[4] Humans are omnivorousbeings that originated inAfrica, that consisted ofwizards and witches,Squibs andMuggles. In thewizarding world, some humans had children with non-humanbeings such asVeela,giants, andgoblins, producinghalf-breeds. These half-breeds might be looked down upon by pure humans.

InChristianity, it was believed that all of humans are descendants ofAdda, the first human and the father of mankind. According to theBiblical narrative,God formed Adam from the dust of the earth and breathed life into him, making him the first of God's creation to walk the earth.[5]

Description[]

Humans come in various shapes and sizes, and are one of the most variable species in the world in terms of physique. They are also claimed to be the most intelligentbeings on Earth.

Physical description[]

Humans can be distinguished in terms of physical appearance, based on their appearance differences range in terms of:

  • Height
  • Weight
  • Skin colour
  • Hair colour
  • Hair length
  • Hair nature
  • Eye colour
  • Other physical features

Categories[]

In thewizarding world, humans were usually placed in one of these categories based on whether they can use magic or not:

Special authorities[]

Permission to carry a wand[]

Humans, unlike other magical species, were allowed to carry wands.[7][8]

Controversy with other species[]

TheBritish Ministry of Magic's logo - a symbol of the authority of humans

Non-human species were not permitted by theBritish Ministry of Magic to carrywands. This led toBarty Crouch Snr'shouse-elfWinky being freed,[9] and started much aggression betweengoblins and humans over the rights to use wands. Why only humans reserved the right to own a wand is unknown. Humans were the only beings that were known to create wands.[8] This is similar to how goblins were the only beings that could make true impenetrable armour or weapons, such asGodric Gryffindor's Sword. It is unknown if there were any dangers of non-humans carrying a wand, since Muggles were known not to be able to use wands, due to the fact that they had no magical power to channel through it. Knowingly giving a wand to a Muggle would likely violate theInternational Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.

Ministry of Magic[]

As humans were supposedly the smartest race in the world, they claimed rights over all magic laws.[7] These were created and enforced by theMinistries of Magic of variousmagical countries around the world. Here, humanwizards and witches had authority over all otherbeings.[10]

Variations[]

Part-Veela

Part-VeelaFleur Delacour

In the wizarding world, many variations of humans existed, (often known ashalf-breeds) and many of them were the result of a human parent marrying a non-human parent. They were permitted to carry wands and practise human-based magic, despite part of their heritage being non-human. Variations of part-humans included:

Behind the scenes[]

  • When speculating whetherVoldemort had died or not following his attack onHarry Potter,Rubeus Hagrid stated that he didn't think there was enough human left in Voldemort for him to die.[6]
  • CreatingHorcruxes causes one's humanity to diminish, leaving one to have less human features, physically and spiritually, as seen with Voldemort. However, creating even just one Horcrux allows one to become immortal, thereby bypassing the mortality that all other mortals experience.
  • When Harry lost his godfatherSirius Black,Albus Dumbledore stated that the emotional pain he felt was proof he is still human, to which Harry violently replied he did not want to be human any more.[20]
