Rowling did give a bit of backstory to the elves’ arrival at Hogwarts. It’s unknown how and why elves started serving wizard families, but J.K. During this storyline, it’s mentioned that elves had been serving wizards for a long, long time, to the point where it wasn’t seen as “slavery” nor anything like that, instead being a common practice that most elves enjoyed. In the books, however, there were more house-elves mentioned throughout the novels, and the terrible conditions in which elves worked prompted Hermione to found S.P.E.W (Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare) in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, after witnessing the unjust treatment of elves at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup. In the movies, the audience’s first approach to an elf from the Wizarding World happened in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets with the introduction of Dobby, the Malfoy’s house-elf who was freed at the end of the movie.
Throughout the Harry Potter series, readers learned that almost every wizard family had a house-elf, and even Hogwarts had many working at the castle.

The Harry Potter saga expanded the fanbase, but as it happens with all adaptations, many details were left behind, leaving a lot of questions about many topics. The Harry Potter novels made the jump to the big screen between 20, with the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, being split into two films.
