Society for the Promotion of Elvish Welfare – The Ministers New Ideas
| Matters of Magic, Ministry of Magic Affairs | 33 Comments on Society for the Promotion of Elvish Welfare – The Ministers New Ideas
Ms Granger, Minister for Magic, has put forward a new proposal for The Society for the Promotion of Elvish Welfare bill (otherwise known as the S.P.E.W. bill). This bill would attemot do exactly what it says on the door; to promote house elf freedoms.
The controversial ideals behind this bill originated during the Minister’s years at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. “It was a mad idea even back then…” explained Seamus Finnigan (a school peer) “…at one point she even started knitting hats and leaving them around the school, trying to trick them into freeing themselves.”
Minister Granger has always been known for her inclusiveness with magical creatures, but this bill definitely takes the bait. Although many believe it to be a good move on behalf of the Ministry, there are still those that believe it to be folly and a futile move by an idealistic leadership.
Overall, while this appears to be a rather odd direction for the Ministry to take, only time will tell whether or not this is the right direction for Wizarding Society.

Hermione, please only free the elves that want to be free, instead of starting a rebellion!
People should stop being lazy asses and clean up their own houses.
I agree
Agreed Longbottom, agreed.
I also agree. But you should also think about the elves that will start to cry like Winky. I say they should be freed and sent to Hogwarts and get the treatment Dumbledoor gave them. I also think that if they want more or less than they get they should get that.
agreed.
agreed.
You are right Ginny but how will I know which elves want to be free?
See! I always said she has a closed mind. Ask them!
Oh I don’t know, ask them!?!
Ginny, dear how could I know which elves want to be free and which wants not to ? I mean I could ask them but they are never good with Muggle borns
Leave the poor things alone! Most of them will never want to be freed, they need to be bonded to a wizard to survive anyways. They should be treated better but not freed!
Miss Gaea Zabini I free them to treat them better ! DUH
It’s still slavery.
I agree with you Ginny.
[but you took my name]
Save only those who want saving
As I said to Ginny Weasly how could I know which elves want to be free?
I agree with Hermione it would be hard to find the ones like Dobby who want to be free.
Hermione don’t start a big thing
I will do whatever I want for the Wizarding world tk be better Mrs Blackwood
Just because Dobby wanted to be free and get paid doesn’t mean all house elf so do Hermione!
Do you know why Dobby wanted to be free Mr Malfoy ? Because your family didn’t treat him well as many other wizard families so I free all the elves
That logic doesn’t make any sense. You just said that you knew that only Dobby was treated badly and yet you still want to free all house elves. Like I said before, you could ask each house elf if they wanted to stay working or if they wanted to be freed, or if they wanted to stay enslaved but be paid, or if they didn’t want to have to stay at high heights(*cough* Winkey *cough*), or so on!
I think it’s good that she is doing that. But only the elves who want too be free should get freed. And those who don’t, should not be freed but the family they’re serving should take better care of them
It’s a good thought I will make illegal taking advantage of the eaves!!!
I think that it is
As the Minister of magic I say that the comments of this article gave me some very good ideas !I will free the elves that want to be free , but for the other ones ( who don’t want to be free) I will make illegal to take advantage of the elves
Very well done! Maybe your finally starting to open up your mind.
Dobby died:( but as a free elf
but hermione, with all due respect, its not only house elves that need your help! Personally I believe crumple-horned snorkas deserve attention from the ministry too!
Ah, a true advocate for magical creatures of all kinds! While Hermione’s cause was for the house elves, the noble crumple-horned snorkack certainly deserves its time in the spotlight and needs our help.
I totally agree with Hermione. I am a huge supporter of S.P.E.W.
No House elves should be free! What Utter Rubbish. This Granger girl has gone Slughorn. I believe that any and all ,yes, ALL house elves should have a master.
