KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -A veritable legion of house-elves were enlisted by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to help out the entire school instead of serving one master. They worked in the kitchens, preparing feasts for the entire school.

Detailed explanation-2: -House-elves are essentially slaves – they will serve one family for a long part of their life, and they feel that this is right and proper, that this is what they were created to do. At Hogwarts there are hundreds of house-elves, preparing the food for the feasts, cleaning, and doing other chores.

Detailed explanation-3: -House-elves could perform magic beyond that of a wizard Kreacher was so powerful that he was able to Disapparate where wizards could not, escaping the Inferi that surrounded the locket Horcrux. This wasn’t something they had to learn, or something they had to harness: it’s just something that they were.

Detailed explanation-4: -In both the books and films, elves have never performed their magic with incantations or wands, but with a snap of their fingers. This suggests that elf magic is self taught, harnessed through sheer force of will and intent alone in order to achieve the desired effects they want.

Detailed explanation-5: -As mentioned in the books, house elves came with ancient families, purebloods only. And since Weasleys had been branded as blood-traitors, they couldn’t have had a house elf associated with their family line.
