The Ministry of Magic classifies all creatures in the magical world, namely, humans, beasts, and spirits .
According to the definition of "person" by the Ministry of Magic - any creature with sufficient intelligence to understand the laws of magical society and bear some responsibility in the process of formulating these laws . Therefore, in addition to humans, there are many magical creatures that are also classified into the "human" category, including goblins, werewolves , vampires, Veela, giants, etc. Of course, there are also some magical creatures that should have been classified as "humans", but for some reasons rejected the "human" setting and became "beasts", such as fish-men, centaurs, etc.
Horseman
Among the creatures that belong to "people", some are huge in stature, while others are very "pocket-sized". Today, Stoudemire will take stock of those "people" who are not tall but very capable in the world of " Harry Potter ".
1. Goblin
Goblins
Goblins should be the most familiar "little" magical creatures. After all, Gringotts, the only bank in the wizarding world, is under their control.
Goblins are short in stature, and their proportions are different from humans. Their hands and feet are very long, but their legs are very short . Their round heads are much larger than humans , and they seem to be filled with wisdom.
Goblins are not only good at financial management, but they are also natural metal craftsmen. The famous Sword of Gryffindor was made by the Goblin King Legnac I. However, their understanding of object ownership is completely different from humans. The goblins believe that whoever made this item is its owner . Therefore, in the eyes of the goblins, the owner of Gryffindor's sword should be the goblin, and Godric Gryffindor only borrowed it temporarily.
2, House-elf (House-elf)
House-elf is more than
House-elf, which is about the same size as an elf, also has a big head, but their arms and legs are very slender, and there is a pair Big pointed ears like a bat .
Compared with the social status of house elves and goblins, there is really a "cloud and mud difference". They have been indoctrinated in the idea of being absolutely obedient to their masters since they were born, so they have to serve humans all their lives without receiving a penny of salary. Although sometimes house elves are reluctant in their hearts, they still have to complete the tasks assigned by their masters.
3, Dwarfs (Dwarf)
The seven dwarfs in fairy tales
The dwarves appear less in "Harry Potter", only in " The Prisoner of Azkaban ", Gilderoy Lockhart found 12 dwarfs to deliver Valentine's Day cards to teachers and students at the school on Valentine's Day.
Despite their small stature, their strength is amazing. One dwarf once hugged Harry's knees and caused him to fall heavily to the ground. In addition, they seemed to talk loudly and noisily. Harry had encountered a group of noisy dwarfs in the Leaky Cauldron.
Although they are rarely mentioned in the novel, in Western culture, dwarfs are "famous". The famous "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is about them.
4, Pukwudgie
Pukwudgie
Pukwudgie from North America is a distant relative of European goblins. They are also small and have pointed ears , and they don't like humans very much. He often plays tricks on people.
Although Pukki does not appear in the text of "Harry Potter", he is very famous and important in the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States. Isolt Thayer, one of the founders of Ilvermorny, had become friends with a Pukechi named William. When she followed Hogwarts in setting up four houses, one of them was " Pukechi Academy ".
Also because of William's relationship, Ilvermorny hired many Pukechi to provide security and maintenance services for the school, and of course they were paid.
