House-elf

A house-elf is a magical creature from the Harry Potter universe that serves wizarding families, performing household chores and errands. They possess their own magical abilities, such as apparating instantly within their household, and often show strong loyalty to their masters. While they are generally committed to their duties, their circumstances can vary, with some seeking freedom and others bound by tradition or servitude. House-elves are intelligent, capable of understanding complex commands, and form a unique part of wizarding society, highlighting themes of loyalty, autonomy, and social hierarchy.
