Fractions
Hi. Just wondered, how does one put fractions in? Such as how on Platform Nine and Three Quarters it shows the 3/4 only smaller. Thanks. -- Hunnie Bunn (Owl me! ) 20:00, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

Limited Edition/Picture
Hi Seth. First off, nice picture.

Secondly, though, I've experienced a problem - I tried to download the "A Guide to Graphics Department" but was told it was invalid. Do you know why it might be doing so? I wanted to help more with the Limited Edition stuff, but I suppose there's other things to do.

Thanks :) -- Hunnie Bunn (Owl me! ) 00:03, February 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the suggestion, but after waiting what it says is 20 minutes, it still says "Compressed folder .zip is invalid", and therefore wouldn't work. Do you know anyone who might know what's going on? Thanks, and sorry to keep bothering you. -- Hunnie Bunn (Owl me! ) 00:21, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Seth. I was on the Harry Potter Wiki Facebook page, and I noticed someone posting quite a few comments there.

Re: Valentine's Day
Ah man, I was going to do it as soon as it rolled over to Valentine's Day, Wikia time. Ah well, I have a couple of other things I was planning to do, which I'll do once the time comes. So keep an eye out! ProfessorTofty (talk) 15:43, February 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you enjoyed it. Though I must say, your work is equally worthy, and the Sneaky Lockhart is a very nice touch. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:39, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, there was an actual poll that I added before about who people want as their Valentine. I plan to put it back up once Valentine's Day is over, at least for a little while longer, so hang tight and it'll be back. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:52, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

Valentine's/Lockhart
Time to lose the Lockhart stuff, I guess, but did we maybe want to keep the Valentine's Day theme up a bit longer, or lose that too? In any case, it's probably about time we ditched the Christmas stuff and moved on to something else. ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:10, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think that's a good idea. We can keep the Valentine's Day theme a bit longer, and as for the slider, the chat is a good idea, and perhaps just anything we can think of that might be of interest. There was that new cover art for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (U.S. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) that was just released. So perhaps we could work that into there, along with a link to the artist who did the artwork (I'm planning to create that page sometime within the next 24 hours.

Great idea with the new "creator" field in the infobox! I admit, I'm a tad envious that I wasn't the one to think of it, but at least someone did :)!

Inappropriacy
Hello Seth. Sorry to bother you, but this user has been saying nothing but rudeness since he joined the wiki today - all six of his edits have been decidedly negative.

The Floo Network
Hi Seth. Just wondering whether you'd seen this; it states that in Moment 3 of Chapter 4, new writing called "The Floo Network" (a different one from "Floo Powder") is available. But I can't find it. Have you been able to read it?  <font face="Werewolf" size="4" color="Indigo">Don't forget: Elvendork! (<font face="Werewolf" size="3" color="Indigo">It's unisex! )  20:11, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

But what of the links at the end? Sorry to pester, but usually I can read the writing just by clicking the link at the end of the chapter - with this I couldn't. Would it work differently for you, or was that another well-guarded secret of Pottermore?  <font face="Werewolf" size="4" color="Indigo">Don't forget: Elvendork! (<font face="Werewolf" size="3" color="Indigo">It's unisex! )  20:24, March 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, I figured it might just have been me. And I don't know, I talked to someone else (that's how I found out the link was there) and they said they could only find it the first time, and that was six hours ago. So may be it's a glitch, but hopefully they just haven't put it up yet :)  <font face="Werewolf" size="4" color="Indigo">Don't forget: Elvendork!

 * Just a thought, though - what if it's for Chapter 14 of the third book, and they simply put it in the wrong place? It would make sense, seeing how the sketch for that chapter showed Lupin appearing in the fire.  <font face="Werewolf" size="4" color="Indigo">Don't forget: Elvendork!

actors category
So recently it came out from a direct source that one of the actors we had listed for an actor in the movie was wrong (though I wish I could have seen the sources I had listed before it was deleted, because I know I wouldn't have created a page on a random hunch unless I had seen it on another website >.<) but I decided to maybe go through and double check sourcing on all our real world actors and such, when I noticed that an anon recently made some new categories within the actor real world category specifiying nationality, like "American actors real world". So two questions, is this something we should keep, and personally I think if we do, so to not be redundant, I could go through and make sure it follows a cateogory tier, so like if it's an american actor, they only have that category and not the actors category as well, what do you think?

Actors references
I noticed something on the article for Stuart Gibson, an actor who supposedly played Cassius Warrington. Check the reference link for the article. While most of the entries in the "Cast confirmed" list seem to be valid, it also lists "Johnpaul Castrianni" as "Yaxley", and I'm sure you remember how that one turned out. Should this be discounted as a valid reference? It may also affect other actor articles using the same reference (I haven't checked all of them yet). - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 08:52, March 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've been concerned about some of our reference links for actors for a while now. A few days ago, we were contacted by a Wikia staff member who asked that one of the actor pages be deleted because the actor had contacted them and said that he wasn't in the film. When I checked the references on the page, both of them were broken links or didn't have the info that they said they were supposed to. We have a lot of pages floating around for extras in the films and I can't help but wonder how many of them are actually valid. ProfessorTofty (talk) 16:28, March 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * The information on those links must have changed, I know I wouldn't have made a page randomly without something that actually listed the harry potter film. Which brings to question, how many other sources that once said someone was on a Harry Potter film that are now changed or invalid links all together.


 * Maybe we should have a rule that any actor that can't be verified from the credits of the work in question must have at least two reference links in order to have a page here. It's just too easy for these references to go dead or be dubious sources. ProfessorTofty (talk) 19:35, March 21, 2013 (UTC)

New Book Opportunities
Hey there! Have you heard of The Bone Season or WOOL? The first is a great new YA dystopian book series with some aspects along the same veins as Harry Potter (but with a few key differences), and the second is a great sci-fi book you might find interesting. You can get more information about Bone Season here and WOOL here. The publishers are offering us some books to give to avid readers active on book wikis that would be interested, and you came to mind!

It would be awesome to get a read on what you thought of the series and if we could get a great community going on wikis based on these books. The Bone Season is already getting optioned for a film even though it hasn't been published yet, so you would be getting your hands on one of the first copies, and WOOL is supposed to be really great as well! We'd love for you to read them, so if you email me your address and name, we'd be happy to send those books along.

Fors Suffix
Sorry to bother you, but I wondered... I was thinking of making a page for the "-fors suffix", as it is used so often throughout the video games, and even appears twice in the trading card games. I just can't think of an appropriate title, as it would look awkward in my opinion to just call it "-fors suffix". Can you think of a good name for it?

Fun Wikia Project!
Hey Seth!

I wanted to let you know about an interesting initiative Wikia is rolling out. We're reaching out to a few trusted admins first about it because we'd really like to involve you guys specifically. Would you be open to working with us and other Wikia Community members in coming up with ideas for our programs? You'd be invited to join developer round-tables, co-author quizzes and other content, and maybe be invited to the Wikia offices in June (we would fly you out of course). I realize that this is intentially vague, but if you're interested and think you can be free to travel around late May - early June, and feel comfortable signing an Non-Disclosure Agreement, we can put you on our list of interested members.

We will of course let you know of more details in the future, but if you are interested, please email me at kate@wikia-inc.com to confirm!

Canon
Hi Seth. Just wondering, is Wikipedia canon? --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 22:47, April 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, there was an unsourced statement that gave a definition of a Switching Spell that we didn't have here: "altering only a part of some object, such as giving a human rabbit's ears". I wanted to know whether it would be acceptable to incorporate such definition into our article. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 23:03, April 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * Understandable; nonetheless, the human and rabbit ears thing wouldn't be canon?


 * PS: I wondered whether the first video game gave any information on the match to needle spell apart from that Morag tried to light hers, and I thought I recalled that you owned one of the games and figured I'd ask you. Then again, I suppose if there was any information on there you would already have added it long ago :) --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 23:47, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

Question
I have a question that the 'Blood Status' page didn't answer for me; or, if it did, then it just confused me more and the arguments on the comment pages are helping, either.

Since Lily has no wizarding ancestry - or at least, not within the last 100 years since neither Voldemort nor Lucius know of any ancestors for her being wizards - would this mean her child, with a muggle, if she had married one, would also be considered a Muggleborn?

Is it Muggleborn + Muggle = Muggleborn or Muggleborn + Muggle = Half-blood is what I am asking? HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 01:15, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

Two questions.
1) No answer to this for three days. May I inquire why not?

2) There is "Avifors Spell" and "Cornflake skin spell". Though I suspect that the first is a name mentioned in some canon or other, and the second is not, may I inquire why the first is capitalized and the second is not?

And this is just a note, "practicioners" instead of "practitioners" on a few pages is a misspelling - I just hope that you haven't reverted them without checking this detail.

Thanks, <font face="French Script MT"><font size="6" color="cyan">MinorStoop  21:43, April 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * No, you weren't harsh, just puzzling - Professor Tofty and, probably also Nick O'Demus were in a position to warn me a lot earlier today, since I noticed them editing soon after I started working. I admit, though, that I could have borrowed Queen Victoria's "We are not amused." expression, but then I should have known better than to butt in in an established wiki of this detail.
 * This leads me to another question: should I notice something else that could lead to inappropriate, how do I give visibility to my questions?

My Wikia
One of Wikia's staff left a message on my talk page regarding displaying an ad for Wikia's My Wikia app service on the homepage. Personally, I have nothing against the idea, but I wanted to run it by the other admins first, just to make sure. ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:31, May 6, 2013 (UTC)

Temporary Admin
Hi, I'm Rowan, and I would like to volunteer as a temporary admin to help with this wiki.

First of all, I could change some text such as instead of "Talk page" you have "Mailbox" and a new notification appears with an owl.

Pottermore
Hi Seth. Just wondering, where are the Pottermore images from Unidentified Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures member and Third year exams from? According to my Gateway, the new chapters aren't out yet.. am I missing something? --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 23:55, May 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, I thought because Slytherins got the badge the other Houses could view the chapters earlier (silly me). It seems only chapters sixteen and seventeen can be viewed on there, but they look quite good if I do say so myself. I wonder how long until the new chapters are released, do you reckon?--Hunnie Bunn (talk) 00:05, May 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Never mind, found Sirius and Lupin (almost gave me a heart attack). --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 00:07, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

New Images
Congrats on finding the new images (sorry I forgot to say that first). However, they seem to be faulty; chapter sixteen, moment two and chapter twenty-one, moment two have the exact same image except that chapter twenty-one lacks the chocolate frog card and a few things are moved. Therefore, I don't know if it's a good idea to be putting the images up before they're ready. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 20:23, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

Harry Potter in other countries
Hi Seth! I have not contributed to the wiki for a while, but I have seen that in some pages, such as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game), information about the voice actors of the characters in other countries has been added. Moreover, pages such as Jonasz Tołopiło have been created. Do you think that is beneficial for the wiki? Are those voice actors really necessary? If so, we can create voice actor pages for every country where Harry Potter has been translated (which I believe are too many), but I don't really see a point on that. I mean, Tołopiło is part of the Harry Potter world, but we cannot create pages for every actor who has contributed to the translation of the films. I would like to know your opinion about that. Thank you, --<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Blue">The Evening Prophet  (<font color="Black">Owl Post ) 22:11, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

Molly and Sirius's relationship.
According to something I discovered, Molly and Sirius are second cousins.

Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz (Chapter 1: The Earthquake) published 1908, has this line: "Yes. Uncle Bill Hugson married your Uncle Henry's wife's sister; so we must be second cousins,"

If we translate this into HP language it becomes: as Molly's uncle Ignatius married Sirius's father's sister meaning that they are, by the information above, second cousins.

That, I believe, is what J.K. was going for when she mentioned the relationship between Sirius and Molly; she planned for them to be "second cousins" based on the information from Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz (Chapter 1: The Earthquake).

Advice
Hello, Rick M. I am an admin at the Shadowhunters' Wiki, and am also a long-time Harry Potter fan, so naturally, I also love the HP wiki. I don't edit around much as I think the wiki is already almost perfect, but I frequently visit the wiki, lurking around and reading about the series (I miss it).

Anyway, like I said, I am also an admin on another wiki about a book series, and I was wondering.. how did you ever come to decide the headings for the character's biographies? Right now, we are using the Series title and Book title format, and it's getting quite messy. We would like to adapt the "in-universe" point of view like other similar wikis, soon, but we don't know how or when to start. So yeah.. any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance! :D

Creating blank pages
Hi Seth. This user --> Мидейла <-- keep creating "(name) family" pages but does not write an article about it. Furthermore, s/he creates these for people in which only one individual is known. Could you do something about it? --DCLM (talk) 06:03, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

I am surprised - you did not remove my edit to the "Garrick Ollivander" page, but merely cleaned it up. Most of the time you remove them! The fact that my information remains here pleases me! HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 23:48, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of Unidentified Wizengamot members article
Seth, just a heads-up that when you deleted the article "Unidentified Wizengamot members at the disciplinary hearing of Harry Potter" you ended up creating redlinks in a number of articles, as well as a template, as well as several broken redirects. Now if the article is non-notable, I'm all for deleting it, but we need to take care of the necessary maintenance first, which includes checking "What links here" to make sure that the out-standing links to the article are cleared away before the article itself is removed.

Regulus's Date of Death
Order of the Phoenix states, explicilty "some fifteen years prior" making it 1980; I know you say that the tree - drawn by J.K. Rowling - states 1979, but there are 2 mistake on there anyway. The tree we use on the "House of Black" pages states that a) Lucretia was born in 1915 when she was actually born in 1925; it also gives Cygnus Black III's date of birth as 1929 instead of 1938. Thus, it could be wrong about Regulus too. The book, as I've said, explicitly states, "some fifteen years prior".

1995 - 15 = 1980; thus his death is 1980. HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 03:19, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

It is incompatible; for example "my parents married some 25 years ago and are celebrating their silver wedding anniversary" (I know that has nothing to do with HP, but is an example.); the "some" is merely grouping the years together. "Some fifteen years ago" explicitly states 15 years and the "some" is to group it together; he died, as the book states unequivocally, in 1980. HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 20:04, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

LEGO Facebook
Hi. Sorry to bother you, but I know you have Facebook and wondered if you had the LEGO Harry Potter (5-7) app/game on there. If you do, I wondered if you knew a way to copy the image of Ebublio on there, so that it could be used on here, as it is so much better than the current image. The thing is, the only way I could think of was screenshot, but that leaves a large golden lock over the image. If not, don't worry about it, but if you did know a way it would be much appreciated. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 20:02, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

A Request for Another Wiki
Hi! I'm El Alamein, and I'm not from around this Wiki, but I'd like your expertise nonetheless. My Wiki is the Deadliest Fiction Wiki, which creates fights to the death between characters of fiction - and one I plan to host is General Grievous of Star Wars fame vs. Lord Voldemort. One of the biggest topics of debate concerning this fight is magic vs. lightsabers. Lightsabers have been proven capable of deflecting lasers from blaster rifles and also other lightsabers, so the question is whether or not Grievous could protect himself from a physical spell, say Avada Kedavra, that takes on physical properties with light and color. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could shed some light on the mysterious properties that physically make up spells in the Harry Potter universe to better assist us in our analysis. Thank you for your time. El Alamein (talk) 19:50, July 12, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you so very much for your time and information. It will be invaluable in helping determine the victor! And I will be sure to let you know how things turn out!

Calculating ages/ new infobox
When I read through other wikis, like, for example, the Wikipedia, I think it has a feature that automaticly calculates an individual's age at the time of their death, or their current age if they are still alive.

Do yoz know if it would be possible to introduce this feature on this wiki, and do you think it woulb be worth doing it? Many, many dates of birth and death are known, after all.

Also, have you read my suggestion on the forum of a new infobox?

--Rodolphus (talk) 12:27, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

I agree with you that templates at least should not be used for living individuals. I´m personally still not sure if we couldn´t use it if both dates are known. Should we ask others about their opinions?

Ok, about the newspaper template: No one has written on the forum so far. What to do next? Wait longer, drop the idea? --Rodolphus (talk) 14:58, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

Would it be ok if I start creating the seperate articles?--Rodolphus (talk) 13:20, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

That's good. As English is not my mother's tongue, I will probably need some help.--Rodolphus (talk) 13:25, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I think I saw on another wiki that it is possible to add the age calculation into the template. We could add a rule to only use it if both birth and death are known.--Rodolphus (talk) 14:28, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

If I understood it right, we would only have to change the template pages, and the wiki calculates automaticly. Am I allowed to post a link here? It's not an English wiki, though.--Rodolphus (talk) 17:23, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Danniesen
Danniesen clearly has not learned how to contribute constructively to this wiki despite being granted a second chance. He persistently inserts false and unnecessary information into articles (for example, stating that a poster is a book). His edits are more often of an unhelpful nature than they are helpful. Having to constantly monitor his edits and clean up the unhelpful ones does nothing but deplete the time and energy of productive editors. I'm ready to block him, but I don't want to act unilaterally, so I thought I'd consult you first. <font color="Green">&#x2605; <font face="Times" color="green">S <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">t <font face="Times" color="green">a <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">r <font face="Times" color="green">s <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">t <font face="Times" color="green">u <font face="Times" color="dimgrey">f <font face="Times" color="green">f <font face="Times" color="darkgreen">(Owl me!) 14:31, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

I wish to make an edit...
But thought I'd run it past you first.

On the Ted Tonks page it says "When Andromeda informed her pureblood family that she was marrying Ted (a Muggle-born), she was disowned and burned off the Black Family Tree."

Andromeda loved Ted - she gave up her entire family for him - so would she risk informing them of the marriage before she was married to him? Surely she'd wait until she was married and it was consummated so that they couldn't annul it? HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 02:58, August 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * Exactly; Bellatrix is explicit in her words of "since she married the mudblood." - that implies that Andromeda and Ted were married before Andromeda told the family. D'you want to change it, or shall I? HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 19:41, August 12, 2013 (UTC)

Pages for individual Daily Prophet articles
I have to wonder, is it really necessary to have individual pages for every newspaper article within the series? It kinda seems like it's going overboard a bit. Also, are these intended to eventually render Daily Prophet articles redundant, as they essentially contain what's already listed there, just in one large article?
