User talk:Hunnie Bunn

Re: Lightning spell
Looks good to me; I'm kinda surprised that nobody had created it already. BTW, you might want to consider starting a talk-page archive, as this page has become rather full.

Oh, and I see that nobody has yet given you this, so:

 * Second Class is 2000 edits and First Class is 3000. 10000 gets you "Merlin's Beard." And, no, you can archive your own talk page, there's no rule against it. ProfessorTofty (talk) 22:59, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Happy New Year!
The very best of wishes for the start of this New Year! A happy and prosperous 2013 to you! (15 minutes and counting 'til 2013 on this side of the pond). --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 23:44, December 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much! It's 1 January 2013, now, but I guess you'll just have to wait, then. :P --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 00:17, January 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hunnie Bunn, you're a wonderful and kind person. It's a pleasure to know you.  Harry granger   Talk    contribs 00:27, January 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * You also have a great New Year! And I see you figured out how to do the archive, so congrats on that. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:17, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Archives
That's not quite right. I only saw a template I like and put it on my two already existing archives. BTW: Happy New Year! Stay healthy and wealthy and have all the luck 2013 may bring to you and your family! And I hope, Pottermore let's me make the potion riddle in 2013.

Re: IP
Yeah, that's a nice dream, but Rowling isn't known to spread such things via wikis, and it's unlikely that the Pottermore staff would try such a thing. No, I'm pretty sure it's base and obvious fanon. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:24, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Except that this particular IP has a history of fanon edits going back to August. If it was really someone from Pottermore, they would either give up, or make some effort to identify themselves in some way. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:28, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

Pottermore
Hi, Hunnie Bunn! Do you know if there is a possibility to contact Pottermore? There's no possibility for me to solve the potions riddle, because there is always the sentence which does not vanish but the bottles vanish, so I cannot choose a bottle.

Hi, Hunnie Bunn! I have a Pottermore-question. What do you do when someone asks for friendship? Pottermore itself warns to make sure when someone requests to be your friend, that you know who they are before you accept. Do you accept or do you ignore or what do you? <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs 22:05, January 12, 2013 (UTC)

Your signature
You need to add a  code to the end of your signature-- it's causing problems with other code without it. ProfessorTofty (talk) 19:24, January 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if it will, but it will, if nothing else, prevent any future problems. ProfessorTofty (talk) 19:45, January 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * When I changed the colours of my signature that has only effect on future givings, not for already given signatures. So that's not sure. <font style="background:#F75D59;color:gold;"> Harry granger <font style="background:yellow;color:black;">  Talk  <font style="background:yellow;color:;"> <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> contribs <font style="background: #99CCFF;color:#993300;"> 19:52, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Re: "Final Warning"
Whoops, you're right. Well, I think I'll let it stand anyway, as I'm seeing a troublesome pattern of edits in that user's history. ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:19, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Heh, yes, I have used Cleverbot before, though I've never tried querying it about Harry Potter before. Interesting. ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:26, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, Hermione's "mudblood, and proud of it." Anyways, you may have figured it out, but the way to tell you're talking to a bot is to ask follow-up questions. On the whole, they're still pretty terrible at it-- they can't hold an actual dialogue, and so that's why they still fail the Turing test. ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:33, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Layout guide
Well, actually, I think you'll find that for the most part, what's posted in that layout guide actually lines up pretty well with our most major articles. For example, the Harry Potter article has just about everything there, the Biography, Physical description, Personality and traits, the Behind the scenes, Appearances, Notes and references, and External links. I think the only difference, really, is that Notes and references is the final item on most articles, not the External links. And also, I have no idea what that "Sources" thing is. Also, obviously, any article that's not about a character isn't going to have a "Biography," etc. And some articles might not have External links, or Notes and references, though every article theoretically should have that second one. I'll tweak it up a bit. In any case, I don't think that Layout Guide was ever intended as a hard and fast rule, anyway, but rather a sort of guideline. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:04, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Uh, Hunnie Bunn?
The time you stated on Talk:Periculum passed four and a half hours ago and nothing has happened yet on the Red Sparks-Periculum Merge. I have no idea how to merge stufflike that, so I'm leaving it to you - oh, yeah, nobody has put any direct opposition yet, so... 94.6.117.196 16:26, January 9, 2013 (UTC) MrSiriusBlack (talk) 16:29, January 9, 2013 (UTC) (Forgot to sign in previously)
 * Actually, hold on that. Seth Cooper has stated that he isn't convinced there should be a merge. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:38, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

Featured articles
Say, Hunnie Bunn, if you have a moment, could you take a look at some of the Featured articles nominations and possibly vote on them? At the moment, nobody other than me has voted and it'd be good to get things moving on there. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:40, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Barty Crouch Sr.
No worries. I figured it was probably going to be a process, anyway. I didn't expect it to be all done in one day anyway. ProfessorTofty (talk) 03:17, January 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Did you still need to know where it was in the book that Sirius discusses Crouch with Harry? I think I know about where it's at, but I wanted to make sure before diving into the book. Also, was there a reason why you removed certain information from the infobox, such as his Department Head titles, his loyalties, and certain family members? ProfessorTofty (talk) 22:11, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Infoboxes
A Creature infobox, I guess. Individual infoboxes are only used for specific individuals (i.e. "Hippogriff" uses the Creature infobox, but "Buckbeak" uses the Individual infobox). -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 20:49, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

Barty Crouch Sr. - Serious issues
I'm not sure exactly what all happened, but if you take a look at your last revision of the Bartemius Crouch Sr. article, there are some serious issues. A number of sections are duplicated and some of the references are broken. Until these issues can be worked out, I think it might be better if you simply edited the article at your sandbox and then posted it in Main once you're sure that there are no lingering problems. ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:06, January 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure you can. It's not like anything you did was deleted. If you think you can fix it, all you have to do is go back into the edit history, find your old revision, and take care of it. ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:27, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Folio Bruti
It looks correct to me, but it's been a while since I've played Chamber of Secrets. And I have no idea about the other thing regarding Mimbulus Mimbletonia. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 02:09, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Priori Incantatem
It's safer with Priori Incantatem - as it is not technically a spell, Priori Incantatem is not an incantation (it's a name of the phenomenon in itself) and, as such, the article's title does not have to follow the "Vernacular name takes precedence over incantation"-convention. Either way, the phrase "Reverse Spell effect" could (and perhaps should) be mentioned in the lead paragraph (by the way, I think "effect" is not capitalized, but I can't be sure). -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 19:31, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

 * No problem on the Boggart edit. Apparently this was something that came up while I was away from the wiki, so it's good to know. I'll ask Tofty for a second opinion about those links, as I'm reluctant to give an opinion either way until I've had a look at it. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 00:14, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Regarding the first issue-- taken care of. Blocked. Regarding the second-- content from unofficial guidebooks can only be considered canon to the degree that it accurately reflect material from the actual series. Unofficial guidebooks in and of themselves generally are not notable, but are allowed a listing at the List of Harry Potter unofficial guidebooks. ProfessorTofty (talk) 16:32, January 20, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Flipendo Tria
The Knockback Jinx Duo says it is referred to as "Knockback Jinx Duo" in the PS1 version of Philosopher's Stone. Flipendo Tria, however, only makes an appearance in the GBC and GBA games, and it's always (that I remember) called just Flipendo Tria. No matter the inconsistency, we should call the article what the canon source calls it, so I'd say it's best to keep it as it is. -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 17:25, January 20, 2013 (UTC)

RE:And some more questions...
My answer would be no, we shouldn't use that name (unless, of course, the name is actually derived from a canon source, i.e. books/films/games). Even if the guidebook/fansite/whatever showcases canon in an almost perfect manner, it is not a canon source in itself, so that doesn't count. -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 17:31, January 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Actually, no. The game (Prisoner of Azkaban, PS2 version), does refer to those spells like that. -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 17:42, January 20, 2013 (UTC)

 * Would "Merlin's staff" be article-worthy? I wouldn't oppose; there are already similar articles like Alastor Moody's walking stick, Lucius Malfoy's walking stick.
 * Should he still be on the list of witches and wizards who can cast wandless spells? Yes. He is on the list of wizards who can cast wandless spells because he is depicted conjuring light with his bare left hand, not because he's handling a staff. -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 01:47, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

5 original qualities issue
I've had the same issue. I ended up having a war with a newish usedr who kept deleting them. An admin then decided to 'protect' gryffindor's page in the form without the qualities. Any changes to add them have been stopped, but I don't see why, as the other three houses have additional traits, as well as their original 5. I only added one quality to the list, which was that gryffindors are short-tempered, as this is what JK stated in the web interview done a short while ago. The other two were added by noteable members and I don't know their references. If the qualities could be re-added, with references, I'd be more than happy, but alas, i still fail with coding on wiki and my ref tags never work. <font face="Vivaldi" size="4">Basically, I have two speeds. <font face="Viner Hand ITC" size="6" color="#91219E">Hostile or smart-alek.  <font face="Papyrus" size="4">Your Choice.

Lavender Brown
Just figured I'd let you know; going against all of fandom is not allowed at Harry Potter Wiki.

She doesn't die in the film. Amen sister!

The manuscript on Amazon was written and published after the fact. The books were complete the movies complete... say things to make a buck. Gotta believe she's alive 'til Rowling says she's dead. Which won't happen. All Seth did was say the same things to my new arguements, his post was lengthy and not needed. If he had a new arguement I'd love to here it but he didn't do the one thing I thought someone could actually aegue for... the reason that manuscript could have the legitimacy to be used as canon. In my mind it has no legitimacy, and any other follow up was just same "'ol same 'ol." Speaking against the "We should say she's alive or unknown because she isn't dead in either,"  I feel really put the arguement back some more. Thanks for the messages. Sincerely yours

Whoa whoa whoa I thought this was peaceful! If this is how you treat newcomers. I don't wish you the best here.

Do you have more examples of this other than just the one spell? And the Pottermore Insider thing, no, I hadn't seen that yet, but that's quite interesting. ProfessorTofty (talk) 18:02, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

 * Again, I'd have to say no. There are other spellbooks, so we can't assume that they came from there, nor that they don't sometimes vary the curriculum. ProfessorTofty (talk) 19:06, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Linking
Hmm. Something like that may be worth considering-- perhaps in the same manner which we do the links to the wikis in other languages. But only if A.) you propose it on the forum and people agree to it and B.) the pages that we are linking to link back to the Harry Potter Wiki. ProfessorTofty (talk) 20:43, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Chat
I suppose maybe because it's not our "thing." When there's an issue that needs to be solved, we usually just leave messages-- it can be responded to without a time constraint, whenever someone happens to be on, and the chat can be very time-intensive. Normally, I think most people here prefer to be editing, rather than spending a lot of time on chat. I do know a number of wikis though where you'll often find chats that are buzzing, such as this one or this one.

And I admire your skills of research. I don't mind if you post that on my talk page, but I've never really cared much who everybody else is here in the real world. I have no idea who you are other than that you live in Canada and are male, and the same is true for everybody else, save little nuggets of information I may have picked up from their profiles. ProfessorTofty (talk) 11:30, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Will you please refrain from messaging me any further. I don't mean to be rude, but I've only been here a week and all you have done is chritisize every move I make even editing my own user profile page. You were originally very mean to me, and then played it off as you were not. Now every edit I make you check and chritisize. This is the only time I'm going to kindly ask... stop just please stop.

Re: Reading Club
The reading club was a Wikia sponsored thing that they had a while back.
