House-elves breed infrequently and then only with their masters' permission.
In the fictional world of Harry Potter, house-elves are creatures born into slavery who are magically compelled to serve a family of wizards until they die.
According to the WOMBAT test, it is possible that house-elves have an average life expectancy of 200 years, cannot be ordered to kill themselves, breed infrequently and only with their master's permission, can override wizard enchantments, and have an allegiance to their home rather than its inhabitants.
As mentioned in the books, house elves came with ancient families, purebloods only. And since Weasleys had been branded as blood-traitors , they couldn't have had a house elf associated with their family line.
House-elves do take a mate, although once again, never without their master's permission. These requests are hardly ever denied; wizards have a vested interest in the procreation of their servants, as it means more elves to help around the house.
Elves, at least the Eldar, have a pregnancy that lasts about a year. By the age of 1, Elves can speak, walk and dance. Puberty and full height are attained at around their fiftieth to one hundredth year, when they stop aging physically.
Half-elves can have children of their own. When they form families with other half-elves, their offspring will be half-elves themselves.
Dobby was the house-elf of the Malfoy family. Lucius, Narcissa, and Draco Malfoy treated Dobby cruelly and were very sadistic to him. He frequently had to punish himself and received death threats several times a day. Dobby feared them, but did everything they ordered him to.
Kreacher was so powerful that he was able to Disapparate where wizards could not, escaping the Inferi that surrounded the locket Horcrux. This wasn't something they had to learn, or something they had to harness: it's just something that they were.
In the alternative universe, there were eleven elves working at the Manor excluding Dobby, who had died before the story started.
An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old. Elves take their time doing things because of their long life span. So to them 100 years feels like what 20 years feels like to a Human.
So in Chamber of secrets Harry was twelve, meaning that if Dobby would have already been of working age he'd have been something like sixteen? Idk when houseelves start working, probably younger, but this would put Dobby at twenty-eight years old at least, more likely thirty- something.
Tributes were pouring in on Twitter last night when JK Rowling revealed the fate of Kreacher the house elf. Responding to a fan's question of what happened to him after the Harry Potter books ended, Rowling replied with the sad – and actually quite blunt – news that he had passed away. “He died, aged 666” she wrote.
During Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Hermione tries to set Hogwarts' elves free by hiding hats and socks under crumpled parchment and the like, to force the elves to take the clothes and free themselves.
Dobby (28 June (year unknown) – March 1998) was a male house-elf who served the Malfoy family. His masters were Dark wizards who treated him cruelly. In 1992, he disobeyed his masters and tried to warn Harry Potter of the plot to have the Chamber of Secrets reopened.
Countless house-elves served in the halls of Hogwarts, cleaning, cooking and delivering trunks, among other tasks. Hermione disrupted the regularity with her S.P.E.W.
This is a great way for your Elf to regain Christmas magic. Sprinkle some cinnamon near the Elf. Cinnamon is like Elf vitamins and will help your elf get back to the North Pole and make a full recovery! The Elf will return tomorrow all recovered.
Three house-elves play a significant role in the books: Dobby, Winky, and Kreacher; a fourth one, Hokey, is mentioned (in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, where she serves Hepzibah Smith), but does not play a particularly significant role.
Many house elves did not want to be freed andfor the most part they felt that their only duty in life was to serve those who owned them. They did however, have the opportunity to be freed only if their owner gifted them an article of clothing.
She wasnt madam Pomfrey. Meaning, while she had a general knowledge of various spells, she did not have the expertise in healing specific spells to be able to heal a death wound on a house elf. Their physiology is very different from wizards.
Highland Ralph Dobson OD (5 July 1942 – 21 July 2020) was a Jamaican reggae singer and record producer, nicknamed "The Loving Pauper" after one of his best known songs.
Every time Dobby does not live up to the expectations of his masters (the family he serves), he injures himself.
Santa advises that no family member touch their Elf on the Shelf, but he does describe a few rare instances when an adult may use tongs or potholders to help an elf in an urgent situation. Parents: read on to learn about special, few and far between cases where emergency help will be required.
Half-dwarves were usually the result of a dwarf mating with a human, gnome, elf, or halfling. The fertility and offspring of half-dwarves was similar to that of half-elves.
