how do house elves reproduce?
An IP editor recently posted the question: "how do house elves reproduce? They obviously have families, kreacher's has served the blacks for hundreds of years..." It seems to me this question is far too simple to warrant asking. We already know that Dobby and Kreacher are boys, Winky and Hokey are girls - or at least we're led to believe so by how their owners address them - and so reproduction should be a simple matter. One does wonder how they get married, though, as they seem to work for their families as single elves... can an elf take time off to raise her offspring? Chazz (talk) 20:29, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
