The Wizarding Wolrd of Harry Potter and the Deaf World

MUGGLE FAMILIES and HEARING FAMILIES
In the world of Harry Potter their are many similarities to the Deaf world. To begin this comparison we should establish who hearing and deaf people correlate. Muggles (non-magic humans) are the equivalent of hearing people, and Wizards are the equivalent of Deaf people. In the Wizarding world the majority of the witches and wizards are half bloods this means a witch or wizard that has Muggle heritage. A child born to a wizard and witch that has no magical power is called a Squib (Argus Filtch is a Squib). This is the equivalent of a hearing child born to Deaf parents these children are also known as C.O.D.A.s (children of deaf adults).

"In addition to being born into magical rather than Muggle families, Squibs are different from Muggles in that they notice and comprehend the wizarding world. They are able to see things that are hidden from the muggles and have access to certain magical objects and creatures that can help them". This is the same for CODAs,CODAs are apart of the the deaf community and know much more about deaf people and deaf culture than a hearing person who does not have deaf parents.

witches and wizards that are born to two muggles are called muggle born, they can also be called mudbloods which is a very degrading thing to call a muggle born witch or wizard (Hermione Granger). A deaf child born to two hearing parents would be muggle born in the wizarding world.

A witch or wizard who has both muggle and wizard lineage is considered a half blood, this is the equivalent of a deaf person who has both hearing and deaf people in their family. Harry Potter and the majority of witches and wizards and half bloods.

A pure blood family is a family with entirely magical lineage, this is the equivalent of an entirely deaf family. The Malfoy family is a pure blood wizarding family.
