Expedition Journal: The Last Bastion of the Part-Giants
Date: December 12, 1890
Location: The Frozen Peaks of Durmstrang
Lead Magizoologist: Alexander Blackwood
Introduction: A Bloodline on the Brink
Half-human, half-giant—part-giants were a rarity in the magical world, existing between two realms yet fully belonging to neither.
While their immense strength and resilience made them formidable, their lives were fraught with persecution, distrust, and the ever-present struggle of controlling their giant heritage.
” If part-giants exist here, they have learned to survive in ways we cannot yet fathom.“
Rumors of a hidden part-giant settlement in the frozen north had reached the Ministry of Magic, and our team was tasked with verifying these claims. Were they truly surviving in exile? Or had they vanished like so many others before them?

What would be your part-giant power?
Expedition Log
Evelyn’s Entry: Into the Frost
The winds howled like restless spirits as we ascended the jagged cliffs. Snow lashed at our faces, reducing our visibility to a few feet at best.
Each step forward felt like wading through an invisible force, a test of endurance against nature itself. Then we saw them—towering figures moving between the peaks, their forms blurred by the storm. Not full giants, but not quite human either. They were watching us.
Lillian’s Entry: The Silent Watchers
We were led into a hidden enclave carved into the mountainside, illuminated by the soft glow of enchanted fire pits.
The settlement was larger than I expected—stone dwellings built with care, some adorned with runes we couldn’t decipher.
A towering woman approached us, easily eight feet tall but carrying herself with undeniable grace. Her voice was deep yet articulate, her words carefully chosen.
“You come seeking ghosts. We are no ghosts. We are what remains.”
“We do not seek war. But if war finds us, we will finish it.”
She introduced herself as Valkra, a leader among their kind. Unlike the savage reputation giants held, these people were disciplined, self-sufficient, and—above all—determined to remain undiscovered. They had no desire for Ministry interference. Their only law was survival.
Tobias’ Entry: The Blood Pact
The history they told us was unlike any record kept in wizarding archives. Their ancestors were not merely outcasts but survivors of a broken accord between wizards and giants centuries ago.
A pact had been forged in blood—wizarding families had once allied with giants to fight a greater enemy, but when the war ended, the giants were betrayed.
Hunted. Slaughtered. The part-giants of these mountains were the last remnants of that betrayal, their very existence a defiance against history itself. We asked if they would ever return to the wizarding world. Valkra’s answer was simple.
“We remember what you have forgotten.”
“They do not see themselves as lost. To them, it is we who have strayed from the old ways.”
Alexander’s Entry: The Cost of Silence
We were given safe passage back, but only after swearing never to reveal the location of their settlement. In their eyes, knowledge was as dangerous as any spell.
As we descended the mountains, I couldn’t shake the weight of what we had learned. These people were a living contradiction—part of our world, yet separate from it.
Wizards had abandoned them, yet they still carried magic older than the Ministry itself. What would happen if the world discovered them? Would they be welcomed, or hunted once more? I feared I already knew the answer.
Conclusion: A Future Unwritten
The existence of part-giants is a secret carefully guarded, and perhaps rightfully so. The wizarding world has a history of fear outweighing understanding, and these people have already endured too many broken promises.
“They have chosen exile, but one day, the world may no longer give them a choice.”
Yet, one question lingers—if part-giants are truly the last bridge between wizards and giants, what happens when that bridge crumbles? The fate of their kind is unwritten, but as long as the mountains stand, so will they.
Key Discoveries
- Part-giants are survivors of a broken pact between wizards and giants.
- Their settlements are hidden and self-sufficient, far from wizarding influence.
- They possess raw magical power and immense physical strength.
