Given that JKR said she discovered (to her horror) that the charts she
had made lined up exactly with Nazi charts: based on that, they would
still be considered halfblood* (as we're told several times that a
muggleborn is considered the same as a muggle, so being magical doesn't
matter for that), but their own children (if with a pureblood) would be
considered pureblood.
see:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mischling
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_policy_of_Nazi_Germany
for the nasty details.
* While a distinction is drawn between two different "degrees" in the
Nazi worldview, we're not given any term other than "halfblood" in canon
for the wizarding world.
