House-Elves
House-elves are magical creatures from the "Harry Potter" series by J.K. Rowling. They serve wizarding families and are known for their loyalty and dedication to their masters. Typically small in stature with large ears and eyes, house-elves possess powerful magic but cannot use it freely outside their home environments. They usually wear a simple garment, often a tea towel, to symbolize their servitude. House-elves have unique cultural traits, including a strong sense of duty, but seek freedom and autonomy, which becomes a significant theme in the series, particularly through the character Dobby, who strives for personal liberation.
