Would the Homonum Revelius + spell reveal a hiding vampire? I figure it will reveal + a hiding werewolf but they’re still sort of human. Aren’t + vampires supposed to be “dead” and so would such a spell + reveal them? + +I don’t like vampires. I think it was one of small jokes by JKR +which cannot be developed fully, because it really doesn’t work +with the rest of the universe. To the realistic bourgeoisie world +of more or less rationalist down-to-earth craftsmen, shop owners, +ministry officials, you suddenly get a creature which works in +completely different world: much more mythical, unearthly, etc. +Every fanfic story which tries to involve vampires more fully +ends with disaster (Northumbrian has his Auror Camelia Tepes, but +I think she doesn’t exactly fit into what proper vampire should +be). + +Concerning Homenum Revelio, I don’t know. I think it so border +case, that both situations could be allowed. Again, vampires are +not only non-human (which works perfectly fine for house-elves, +centaurs, goblins), but they are not even alive. It is complete +mess. I just try to forget they ever existed. + +.. _comment: + https://archiveofourown.org/comments/263172883 |
