Fleur Delacour, a part-Veela.

A half-Veela is a cross-breed between a human male and a Veela. It is unknown if Veela can breed with Muggles, and it is unlikely that a Muggle would ever learn of the existence of Veela, thus most or all half-Veelas will inherit magical ability from their fathers. From their mother, they gain some Veela traits, such as exceptional beauty and the ability to entrance men supernaturally. It is unknown if half-Veela are able to shapeshift into bird-like creatures as full Veela can.

Because they are half-breeds, half-Veelas may come under the same prejudices that befall other half-breeds, though they are more difficult to detect than other half-breeds, such as Half-giants, because apart from their great physical beauty, they are otherwise identical to humans.

It is unknown if half-Veela or part-Veela can be male. The only known male with Veela ancestry is Louis Weasley, who is one-eighth Veela through his mother.
