All 15 Muggle-born Witches and Wizards in Harry Potter (CANON) - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the bloodlines of the wizarding world. More specifically- we're going to be honing in on and discussing Muggleborns- also known as 'Mudbloods' to the darker, more sinister side of the wizarding world.- Now before we dive too far in to this topic, let me first establish that blood status is one of the most controversial aspects of the wizarding world- a concept in which wizarding families can be distinguished by the level of magically-endowed family members. Generally speaking, people are slotted in to one of the following categories: Pure-blood, half-blood, or muggle- with the special term 'muggle-born' referring to a witch or wizard with two non-magical parents.- The existence of such a system, however, brings nothing to the wizarding world but hatred. In fact, one of the main focuses of Voldemort's regime was establishing power over the worlds of half-bloods and muggles. Voldemort felt that those with pure-blood lines deserved to be in power, and he also grew increasingly concerned that pure-blood numbers would dwindle while the number of muggleborns climbed- effectively extinguishing 'pure' blood from the wizarding world. And, as it turns out, Voldemort was very right to have that 'fear'- as statistics show that the number of muggle-borns climbs year over year.- With that said- let me get to the 'meat' of today's video, which is a list of ALL KNOWN muggle-borns (that is, witches or wizards born to muggle parents) that we know of in the wizarding world. I'm going to start with the more obvious ones and make my way toward the LESS obvious ones that you may not know about. How many do YOU know of? Comment down below before we get started.
