Blood Status?

Is there a source for Parvati being a pure-blood or half-blood? Or at least some kind of statement from which we can infer her blood status (e.g. Cho Chang being a fan of Quidditch since she was six years old)? I know that her parents were mentioned in Half-Blood Prince, but I can't recall if it was mentioned whether or not they were magical. Oread 03:03, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Padma and Parvati were hiding out in the Room of Requirement with the other members of the DA in DH39 (before reinforcements began arriving from outside the school). The twins attended Hogwarts during the 1997-1998 school year, meaning they couldn't be less than half-blood, because Muggle-borns were banned from the school under the Voldemort regime. The same logic could be applied to the other DA members hiding in the Room of Requirement whose blood status is not stated or implied elsewhere in canon (Lavender Brown, Terry Boot, Anthony Goldstein, and Michael Corner). Of course, the Patils could have claimed to have a magical heritage when they were in fact Muggle-born, and it may even have been easy for them to pull off if their family had immigrated to Britain only a generation or two previously. Would the Muggle-born Registration Commission have verified their story with the Indian Ministry of Magic? I'm getting way, way off track, but I imagine that's the logic behind the "pure-blood or half-blood" claim in this article. -Starstuff 07:13, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Yule Ball.

It says under the yule ball qoute that a Durmstrang student said "May I have your arm" but in the link in the main section of text it links to Beauxbatons Boy. Is it a durmstrang or beauxbatons student? Citizen Erased Manchester 2010 10:44, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
