Albus Severus Potter is a half-blood, as he has Muggle ancestry through his mother, Lily Potter (née Evans), whose mother was a Muggle, making his father, Harry Potter, also technically a half-blood despite his own pure-blood father, James, as he has Muggle-born grandparents. The presence of any Muggle blood (Muggle-born or Muggle parent) classifies a witch or wizard as a half-blood, regardless of how many magical generations precede them.
Albus Severus Potter (b. c. 2006) was an English half-blood wizard, the second and middle son of Harry and Ginevra Potter (née Weasley) and the godson of Neville Longbottom. He was born two years after his older brother James Sirius and two years before his younger sister Lily Luna.
^If both parents are muggleborn, the child is a half-blood as it has two magical parents with very close muggle relatives. Harry and Ginny's children are halfbloods as Ginny is a pureblood and Harry's mother is muggleborn, meaning the children's maternal great-grandparents are muggles.
The in-universe explanation was clarified as using the same logic as was used by the Nazis to define Jews, to be “Pureblood” no parent or grandparent can be muggle or muggleborn. (Essentially meaning up to great- grandparents all have to be wizards.) Muggleborn is one generation, half-blood is anything in between.
An interesting fact of note is that despite the ideals that pure-bloods are inherently more powerful wizards, several of the most powerful or particularly adept wizards and witches in the series are in fact half-blood, such as Albus Dumbledore, Tom Riddle, Severus Snape, Minerva McGonagall, and Harry Potter.
There is nothing you can do to stop me." Gellert Grindelwald (1882/1883 – March 1998) was a pure-blood Dark wizard who was considered to be amongst the most powerful and notorious wizards of all time, his only superiors being Albus Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort.
Voldemort found Nagini in Albania after his initial defeat, likely while he was a weak spirit possessing snakes; she was a unique, powerful snake, possibly a Maledictus (a witch with a blood curse turning her into a beast), making her an ideal companion, and he eventually made her his final Horcrux by murdering Bertha Jorkins with her present. Their connection deepened as he used her venom to sustain himself and later made her a container for his soul, ensuring their bond was profound and twisted.
However, the truth is that even if they did exist in the past, true pure-blood wizards and witches did not exist in the present day, as Squibs, Muggle-borns, and especially half-bloods were too common.
Sure, but it's rare. They're called Squibs- children born without any magic to magical parents. They get shafted pretty hard by Wizarding society. All muggleborn witches and wizards are descended from Squibs who eventually integrated into muggle society, and whose descendants never learned about magic.
He trusted snape because snape had proven himself many times before. Voldemort took anyone that was magical and had his own ideas in common during his first crusade.
Luna Lovegood is a Pureblood witch, who was sorted into Gryffindor House during Harry Potter's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry.

Edward Remus "Teddy" Lupin (b. April 1998), occasionally known as Ted, was a half-blood wizard, the only child and son of the late Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks. He was, like his mother, a Metamorphmagus, but did not inherit his father's lycanthropy.
Lily Luna Potter (b. c. 2008) was an English half-blood witch, the youngest child and only daughter of Harry and Ginevra Potter (née Weasley). Lily had two older brothers, James Sirius and Albus Severus Potter.
In an interview with the academy, Delbonnel said that he did not want to change the lighting effects used in the previous films, and finally decided to give it a darker, moody variation of grey.
Muggle-borns inherit magic from a distant ancestor; they are descended from Squibs who have married Muggles and whose families had lost the knowledge of their wizarding legacy. The magic resurfaces unexpectedly many generations later.
In Harry Potter, the "Three D's" are the essential principles for successful Apparition (magical teleportation): Destination, Determination, and Deliberation, taught by Ministry instructor Wilkie Twycross to avoid "splinching" (leaving body parts behind). You must firmly visualize your Destination, have the unwavering Determination to reach it, and then move with focused Deliberation, without haste, to arrive safely, notes the Harry Potter Wiki and Harry Potter Lexicon.
From HP Lexicon: Some Squibs seem to have formed special bonds with cats, whom they refer to as Mr or Mrs. It is possible that these cats function as guides and aides to Squibs as they live in a world in which they don't really fit.
Voldemort quickly became feared so much that the majority of the wizarding world would not even speak his name, with most flinching when they heard it, and instead referred to him as "You-Know-Who", “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named” or simply “The Dark Lord”.
In 1943, Tom Riddle, the "Heir of Slytherin", opened the Chamber of Secrets to conduct a purge on Muggle-born students. This resulted in the death of Myrtle Warren, who eventually returned as a ghost. Riddle opened the Chamber again in 1993 through the use of one of his seven Horcruxes, his diary.
By 44 ABY, the true Sith species in the Empire were believed to have gone extinct due to the interbreeding process. Characteristics shown would be determined depending on how much Dark Jedi or Sith blood an individual possessed due to interbreeding.
Godric Gryffindor (fl. c. 993) was an English wizard and one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was great friends with Salazar Slytherin, but opposed him when he later thought that they should not accept Muggle-born students at Hogwarts. It is unknown when he died.
Because some snakes could sense heat and movement in a way humans could not, Nagini was able to detect Harry and Hermione even when they were under the Cloak of Invisibility. Harry fought with Nagini, and the serpent bit him before coiling herself around Harry to hold him in place for Voldemort.
While Credence is a Dumbledore, he isn't the brother of Albus, Aberforth and Ariana. In fact, he's Aberforth's secret son! Aberforth met Credence's mother the same summer that Albus and Grindelwald met.
As for Bellatrix, she, her husband, and his bro were also fanatically loyal to him so he saw fit to reward them for their loyalty by giving them the cup (likely to take advantage of the Lestrange vault and its protections on its various items).
