Human is a term referring to a species of animal, for which the Latin name is Homo sapiens. Humans are omnivorous mammals that consist of wizards and witches, Squibs and Muggles. In the Wizarding world, some humans have had children with non-human Beings such as Veela, Giants, and Goblins, producing half-breeds. These half-breeds may be shunned by humans.

Description

Humans come in various shapes and sizes, and are one of the most variable species in the world in terms of physique. They are also claimed to be the most intelligent Beings on Earth.

Physical distinctives

Humans can be distinguished in terms of physical appearance based on their appearance differences in terms of:

• Height
• Weight
• Skin colour
• Hair colour
• Hair length
• Hair nature (curly, straight, frizzy...)
• Different sized eyes, nose, arms, legs etc...

Categories

In the magical world, humans are usually placed in one of these two categories:

• wizards and witches and Squibs
• Muggles

Special Authorities

Allowed to Carry a Wand

Non-human species are not permitted by the Ministry of Magic to carry a wand. This led Barty Crouch Sr.'s house-elf Winky being freed, and started much aggression between Goblins and Humans over the rights to use wands. Why only humans reserve the right to own a wand is unknown. It seems that humans are the only beings that can create wands (seeing as all the known Wandmakers were undoubtedly human). This is similar to how how a Goblin is the only being that can make a true impenetrable sword, such as Godric Gryffindor's. It is unknown if there are any dangers of non-humans carrying a wand, since Muggles are known not to be able to use wands, altrough they have no magical power to channel through it, and giving a wand to Muggles will interfere with the International Statue of Wizarding Secrecy.

Ministry of Magic

As Humans are supposedly the smartest race in the world, they claim rights over all magic laws. These are created and enforced by the Ministries of Magic of various magical countries around the world. Here, human wizards and witches have authority over all other Beings.

Variations

Many variations of Humans exist, (often known as Half-breeds) including humans which are:

• Half-Veelas
• Half-giants
• Part-Trolls
• Half-goblins
• Werewolves, though not necessarily half-breeds, are human except on the full moon and can (if they should choose) live with humans and have the same rights as humans, such as owning a wand. (ex. Remus Lupin)
