Vampires are considered ancient creatures, the first vampire dating back more centuries than most care to record. Humans have always looked upon vampires warily, considering that their blood has always been a prime source for vampire survival. Given their thirst and lack of a beating heart, many consider them soulless, and it was an easy feat by the Ministry to categorize them as Creatures rather than beings. The discrimination has continued from there.

Due to the vampire population growing considerably, the Ministry has 'voluntarily' relocated the bloodsuckers to their own private town, Nuctroff. Any vampires living outside of Nuctroff must undergo a trial period of strenuous observation and have Ministry approval. Not to say that there aren't some rogue vampires breaking the law. The Vampire Counsel has assured witches and wizards that they sustain themselves on animal blood, but the theory that the Ministry has been using vampire as shadowy assassins has not gone unheard. Considering that they live in a reservation under the oppression of the Ministry, many will do what they must to afford some leniancy.

Vampires are forbidden from taking the life of a child. Vampire children are unable to attend Hogwarts, unless they have been turned within the final two years of school and are required to live in a special dorm regardless of house.. Any vampire revealed to have turned a child is sentenced to immediate death. It is possible for vampires to feed from mortals without killing or turning them, and some people volunteer to be "blood donors" in order to receive the high of a vampire bite. However, the act of being or feeding from a blood donor is highly addictive and illegal. Mortal participants face rehab and encarceration. Vampire participants are sentenced to death.
