- Hermione Granger: "I was going to put Stop the Outrageous Abuse of Our Fellow Magical Creatures and Campaign for a Change in Their Legal Status — but it wouldn't fit. So that's the heading of our manifesto. I've been researching it thoroughly in the library. Elf enslavement goes back centuries. I can't believe no one's done anything about it before now."
- Ronald Weasley: "Hermione — open your ears. They. Like. It. They like being enslaved!"
- Hermione Granger: "Our short-term aims are to secure house-elves fair wages and working conditions. Our long-term aims include changing the law about nonwand use, and trying to get an elf into the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, because they're shockingly underrepresented."

Stop the Outrageous Abuse of Our Fellow Magical Creatures and Campaign for a Change in Their Legal Status was the title of the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare manifesto drawn up by Hermione Granger in 1994 in a sheaf of parchment.[1]
"Stop the Outrageous Abuse of Our Fellow Magical Creatures and Campaign for a Change in Their Legal Status" was originally the name of the Society, but as it did not fit in badges, it ended up as the title of the manifesto.[1]
