Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to be discussing Goblins AND Elves in relation to wand ownership. Now, it should come as no surprise when I tell you that Goblins haven't been treated well over the course of wizarding history. Pure bloods outright hated them, and in the past even the most progressive members of the wizarding world felt a general mistrust for the tiny, monstrous humanoid-creatures. And if we look back at Wizarding history, there appears to have been conflict after conflict between wizards and goblins, with the goblins rebelling on numerous occasions.In the present day, I think it's safe to say that tensions have lowered, but that things certainly have a long way to go. These days, Goblins are in charge of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, overseeing all of the responsibilities associated with currency in the Wizarding World. And in this more modern era, it would appear that the more progressive members of wizarding society have (almost) started to treat them as equals. But still, there remain obvious imbalances in the wizarding world that inhibit Goblins. They have some rights now, which is a lot more than can be said of the Goblins from the 1600s, but they're still excluded from doing basic things- things like CARRYING A WAND.Socials: https://linktr.ee/hptheory
