half-blood
One parent differs
Half-blood describes a person who shares only one parent with a sibling, or more broadly, someone of mixed ancestry.
In inheritance law, half-blood relatives have weaker claims than those of the whole blood.
The term gained modern currency through fantasy fiction, where it often designates someone with one magical and one non-magical parent: Harry Potter is a half-blood.
