Natural Selection of the Wizarding Kind: A Magical Survival for the Fittest

I always wanted to write a post on the books that exist in the Wizarding World rather it's from America or Europe, a Novel or a Brochure (which is considered as literature), or a non-fictional/textbook. Examples of each would be Cassandra and Her Cat Gustav by Lisbeth Scintilla (FBWTFT) and Mudbloods and the Dangers They Pose to a Peaceful Pure-Blood Society (HPDH (part 1)) & Big Foot's Last Stand by Oritz O'Flahterty (FBWTF/MINA shorts) and Hogwarts: A History by Bathilda Bagshot; America, and Europe respectively. Books are important in any world in which knowledge of something of interest by the writer spreads to a person of the same interest or, in the case of a brochure, or propaganda literature, a message to warn others about, or to cause an uprise amongst and against a society. Books are important and one particular Literature is themed in ONE IMPORTANT theme of the world, blood and bloodline, or a Wizards Lineage, Heredity, and Genealogy. That is where this blog comes in. Of every ideology, event, and person and personal history, what could be the most important books in the Wizarding World if it's not not on the theme of Blood and, perhaps more importantly, Physiology.


Now, there are important books in general on things like Rappaport's Law, in which exists Volume 1, and therefore presumably, Volume 2. Historian, Theophilius Abbott, possible relative to Hannah Abbott, wrote books on Scourers in America and MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America). In the Muggle, No-Maj, Non-Magique, "Cant-Spells" society exists one important literature by Charles Darwin, "The Origins of Species", in which it details the origins of life of plants, animals, and humankind, or rather Mankind. It is about the superior gender and race. This I only started looking into as I thought this about the Wizarding World in the case of Bloodline, or Pure-Blood and Physiology of both magical and non-magical and how both would and could exist. That and potential writers who are really known and keen on both in their own life, separately.


First, I'll go into what is not particularly the important reason for this article but important all the same. Bloodline.


The Pure-Blood Ideology, which is vastly important because it is the superior type. In the Wizarding world, race and gender are not issues but blood type of rather one is either a Pure-Blood (the dominating idea in which everyone in the family is of magical descent and magical themselves), a Half-Blood (specifically to the child of either a magical mom or father and a non-magical mom or father) and Muggle-Born, or "Mudbloods", or Dirty Blood (a child whose magical but whose parents are not). [The Muggle-Born/No-Maj Born, etc., is highly questionable as, while the parents are not magical themselves, they do have a magical relative somewhere in the family tree.] In America, to contrast Europe in which it is of most important and problem, it merely does not exist as an issue due to the families deciding to not cross the ocean with the laws that America has.


"Beneath the title was a picture of a red rose, with a simpering face in the middle of its petals, being strangled by a green weed with fangs and a scowl. There was no author’s name upon the pamphlet, but again, the scars on the back of his right hand seemed to tingle as he examined it." - HPDH


Pamphlets do exist, of course, numerous on the subject, but is there a book? A Best Seller? Even thou, Tom Riddle is a Half-Blood, he believes in the idea of Pure-Blood through and through, and I assume could be a writer of a book on the subject of its superiourness, or Supremacy, Inbreeding, Blood-Traitors, Pure-Blood directory, and more. Let's say, for the case of fun and arguments and etc, it is called "THE PURE-BLOOD IDEOLOGY AND THE TRAITORS OF THE PEACE" by Tom Riddle. As mere fan-fiction or headcanon, Tom wrote a long essay on the subject in Hogwarts which drew concerns from the teachers and eyes and whispers from his classmates. Yet, someone, presumably Borkin and Burke, published his paper as a book, or pamphlet, and some of the readers are the Black family, the Malfoys, and the Gaunts before being murdered by Tom himself, even thou he was a Half-Blood.


The primary theme of this article is the relations to both magical and non-magical. Newt Scamander says himself that they are "slightly" different, which could just him being nice, in physiology. So, Muggles and wizards have different biological tendencies.


"I say the Muggles are not lesser, but other. Not worthless, but of other value. Not disposable, but of a different disposition. Magic blooms only in rare souls. It is granted to those who live for higher things."


Taken from Gellert Grindelwald's rally speech in 1927 in Paris, to appeal to the audience and both sides by a view, he himself is instilling that muggles are not so different in design from Wizardkind. The build of man, of both magical and non-magical, connects directly to Newt Scamander and animals and, more importantly, an Obscurus that is Credence Barebone himself. "Fantastic Beasts". Together is, of a view, of my view, is "The Origins of Species". Animals, Man of both types (as Race is not an issue, physiology is the equivalent to race) and plants? As plants are also spoken of its reproductive system, plants are not seen so much in the films, or "documents", however, a Beast called the Swooping Evil, seems to be an Animalistic Plant due to how Newt, created?, it but certainly is a Beast. In fact, it looks like Newt was using Bubotuber Juice, as at least thought it was before it was shown. (this sounds like a talk of another day regarding animal/plant hybrids and the Swooping Evil).


So could a book, or pamphlet, exist about this subject? Again, it could exist in a headspace, but does it canonically? Not sure. But none other than, politician-like leader, Gellert Grindelwald would write a book, pamphlet, or essay on this in Durmstrang Institute. Unfortunately, I do not know keywords to imagine such a title other than the obvious, yet he was a Durmstrang student so he as very much a soldier who held rallies to provoke wizardkind to rise up over the non-magical into submission and, clearly knew people, in some sense, a follower or admirer would say a revolutionist. This comes to possibly propaganda akin to Common Sense by Thomas Paine. Along with his firm beliefs in the Deathly Hallows of an unbeatable wand, a cloak of invisibility, and a stone to bring back the dead; which realistically, and in belief, can be observed and taken to mean different things. His group is called The Alliance with the famous motto, taken by Albus Dumbledore, his frenemy and, headcanon-wise, love interest, "FOR THE GREATER GOOD". His motto is an obvious, and straightforward use. But he would try to use a title that draws people in like "The Alliance" by Gellert Grindelwald, which would use the symbol of the Deathly Hallows on the cover. "Acolytes" is the term used for his followers, but the most I can see it being used is within the book itself like how "Will We Die a Little" could be a phrase and a chapter title within the text. However "The Alliance" would connect to several meanings of his group, the Deathly Hallows/Alliance symbol, and as a tool to cause an uprise among the society like "Common Sense" with the Revolutionary War. Laws of both the Ministry in Britain, and America, and all else, would also be a theme. Law is the greatest connection to both of his speeches thus far, and while he spoke to Seraphina directly about the American laws, he meant by it generally for all the laws are similar but altered slightly to benefit a better solution. "Who does this law protect? Us? or them". in referencing to the laws to protect the non-magical from themselves and keeps them hiding even thou both in England and in Paris, they, Magicals, are residing alongside the Non-Magical. So he is establishing a new law or laws within the idea of Wizarding Supremacy. A title like: "The Alliance: Charters for a Greater Good", or "Law of The Alliance". In the end, he also is connected to Albus...


"Gellert – Your point about Wizard dominance FOR THE MUGGLES' OWN GOOD – this, I think, is the crucial point. Yes, we have been given power and yes, that power gives us the right to rule, but it also gives us responsibilities over the ruled."—A letter from the young Albus Dumbledore to Gellert Grindelwald


"FOR THE MUGGLES OWN GOOD".. would be a phrase.


Whatever may the titles be, and whoever even writes such a book, pamphlet, and propaganda., these books would surely exist and exist to worsen or better Wizardkind, rather it is the Pure-Blood Ideal or Who is the Better Man? In Wizarding History, books of both of the themes will be the most popular literature that there is for followers, and historians, and too the general reader alike.


To perhaps extensively bring parallels: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
