Half-Veela

Apolline_Delacour

A half-Veela (known as a part-Veela for the descendants of half-Veela) was a half-breed between a human (normally a wizard or witch) and a Veela.[2] It is unknown if Veela could breed with Muggles or Squibs, and it is unlikely that a Muggle would ever learn of their existence, thus most or all half-Veela would inherit magical ability from their human parent because they were likely a wizard.

From their Veela parent or ancestor, female part-Veela gained some Veela traits, such as breathtaking beauty and thus the ability to entrance all men attracted to women magically.[1] It was unknown if half-Veela were able to shape-shift into bird-like creatures or throw fireballs as full Veela can,[3] or if male part-Veela were able to gain some Veela traits.

Prejudice

Because they were half-breeds, half-Veela may have experienced the same prejudices that befell other half-breeds (though they were more difficult to detect than other half-breeds, such as Half-giants, because apart from their great physical beauty, they were otherwise physically identical to humans).

Gender

No male full-blooded Veela have ever been known to exist. The only known male with Veela ancestry was Louis Weasley, who was one-eighth Veela through his mother.[2]
