Part-giants are beings with some, but not a total, amount of giant heritage or blood, as well as part human blood. For instance, a human might have a half-giant mother and a wizard father.

[edit] Characteristics and appearance

All known part-giants had magical blood, and were capable of producing magic, traits they received from their witch or wizard ancestors. From their giant family they usually retained a large height and build ^[1], they were usually considered extremely tall by human standards and short by giant standards.

[edit] Oppression

Many part-giants have been discriminated against, in such a manner as werewolves, centaurs and other part-humans. This oppression escalated during the Second Wizarding War, when Lord Voldemort had control over the Ministry of Magic. This prejudice was notoriously demonstrated by Death Eaters, some Pure-bloods and Dolores Umbridge ^[2].
