There are many terms used in the Harry Potter series to describe magical and non-magical people.
Magical people are referred to as witches and wizards.
Non-magical people are referred to as muggles.
A pure blood has no trace of muggles in his ancestry. All of his family, including both parents are wizards. (Ron, Sirius, Draco, Neville)
A half blood has one muggle-born parent and one wizard parent. (Harry, Voldemort)
A mudblood is a derogatory term used to describe someone who is born with muggle parents, but are born with the ability to perform magic. (Hermione, Lily Potter)
A squib is someone who has wizard parents but does not have the ability to perform magic. (Argus Filch, Dumbledore's sister Arianna.)

In Harry Potter a mudblood is a wizard or witch who has muggle (non-magical people) parents. It is very rude to call someone a mudblood, it is like swearing at someone. Usually people who say they are pure-blooded call people mudbloods. Hermione has muggle parents (they are both dentists), so she is therefor a mudblood.
1. 'Mud-blood' is an offence word, please don't use. The right term is 'muggle-born'.
2. Harry is not muggle-born, neither is he a pureblood. Harry's dad was a pure-blood wizard. His mom was a muggle-born witch; these make him half-blood.
