Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing house elves, an often-overlooked species of magical beings from within the wizarding world. Specifically, we’re going to be diving in to their origins- taking a look at where they came from and how they got to be in the position that they’re in today.

House elves have been an integral part of wizarding society for centuries, serving as loyal companions and helpers to wizarding families. But what’s interesting is that we’re never actually fed much info on their history. Did house elves precede the existence of witches and wizards? When did house elves first come to be? What inspired JK Rowling to create them? Why do they SERVE? And just how did they evolve into such an essential aspect of the wizarding world?

I also want to examine how House elves were used to symbolize deeper themes of social justice, equality, and the ethics of servitude. Hopefully, through our examination of their history, we'll uncover the powerful messages J.K. Rowling intended to convey through highlighting the mistreatment of an entire species marginalized in society.

Without further ado, let’s dive in.
