New Template?
Hi Professor. I see there's been a number of users over the time this wiki has existed who have been taking things waay too personally, or who have made personal attacks. I was thinking of making a template, like: "Chill out, dude! You're taking everything way too seriously. Please calm down." with a little red hand on the left. What do you think? -- Hunnie Bunn  01:15, March 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * I like your idea better. So, I suppose I'd best get started. -- Hunnie Bunn  01:33, March 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * Admittedly, it is a copy-and-paste of what you wrote on my talk page, but all the same: here it is. The code to produce it is (not too sure if that's the best name for it). And sure, that shouldn't be too difficult (for the QotW).


 * PS: Have you ever heard this song? My best friend's uncle is the lead singer. And I find the song quite calming (nothing personal, of course) -- Hunnie Bunn  01:43, March 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * No problem, and sorry about not changing the headers - I'd wondered what they were for. And glad you liked the song; admittedly, though, your tune is quite relaxing - additionally, it has a nice rhythm to it. -- Hunnie Bunn  13:13, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, after I read about your "relaxing songs" I was curious and heard them both. I like them both. Yours is very meditative. This song I could hear for hours, days, weeks, but the other I like, too.  Harry granger   Talk    contribs  16:24, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Re: Relaxing songs
Thank you for the new songs. When I've found them AND get again access to another computer like today I will try them. My own computer loudspeakers have said good-bye, so I need another.

 * Hi, I've heard now "To Zanarkand" and one of "Rikku's Theme"s. They are both wonderful. I like this music, too. It is really relaxing, that's right. Thank you for the advice. <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;"> 16:14, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

Template, Part II
Sorry, I forgot to respond the first time. Yes, I think it would be a good idea to put the song in with the template... but would the coding carry it properly? I don't trust computers and coding and such things too well. -- <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple">Hunnie <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple">Bunn  18:23, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Bridge Scene
And I had another question. Have you seen the third film (I don't want to give too many spoilers)? -- <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple">Hunnie <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple">Bunn  18:32, March 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just wondering, what did you think when you saw the scene on the bridge? With Lupin talking about Lily? -- <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple">Hunnie <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple">Bunn  18:47, March 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * That's true; there was indeed quite a bit of "good stuff" in the films (especially, methinks, in the third one). I agree with most of what you said, but Rowling said Sirius was "unhinged" - he saw his best friend in pain, not a feral monster getting ready to shred everyone apart. I don't blame him for his actions, even if perhaps they weren't the most sensible.


 * As for the bridge scene, I'll admit the "Your mother was there for me at a time when no one else was. Not only was she a singularly gifted witch, she was also an uncommonly kind woman. She had a way of seeing the beauty in others even, and perhaps most especially, when that person couldn't see it in themselves" line(s) kind of reminded me of the "Lupin was very fond of Lily" line, and I have to wonder whether J. K. Rowling will expand on this in Lupin's biography. -- <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple">Hunnie <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple">Bunn  19:06, March 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, we did get the info on Aunt Marge, the Knight Bus and Cadogan, as well as Professor Kettleburn in the first set of chapters. But all the same, there are twenty-two chapters in the book, and there's an illustration from the fourteenth one in there which means we'll be getting at least six chapters. Leaving eight chapters after that, and a whole biography. So hopefully they'll come out soon.
 * Do you have an estimate as to when you think they'll be released? It's been around two months (now I stop to think about it, closer to three) so probably soon. I'm guessing the twentieth if we're lucky (because it's usually around the end of the month) and April 12 if we aren't (because it's normally on a Friday that they're released). -- <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple">Hunnie <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple">Bunn  20:19, March 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * It wouldn't be half as aggravating if they would update the Insider to let us know what they're up to or something. Last we heard was a couple of weeks ago when they improved the comments, and I don't understand the way people will sign comments with names that have nothing to do with themselves or their friends... Oh well, it's only the 13th. Hopefully some change will come soon. -- <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple">Hunnie <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="Purple">Bunn  20:29, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Quidditch teams with robes mess
I believe this edit was the source of the problem, so I've reverted it and deleted the categories.

While we're on the subject, I think at some point we need to have a discussion about notability and standards for categories too. Some of the ones we have now seem ridiculously over-specific and/or redundant. Case in point, right now there are Category:Dragons, Category:Dragons (species), and Category:Individual dragons. I'm probably going to go ahead and consolidate them into just "Dragons" and delete the other two.

Hagrid's Hut
Hi Professor. Just wondered whether you could please rename Rubeus Hagrid's cabin to "Hagrid's Hut" as it is referred as such in Pottermore, the most recent canon source.

Time-Turner
Hi Professor. It's been two months (actually, I think three) since the last Time-Turner article (the only two are Moldyshorts and Harry). I already have one for Dumbledore ready if you want, coding and everything are done. However, if you have an idea of your own I think that would be good.

Pottermore
Hello Professor. I wondered a few things: first, whether you had this PlayStation Home. And second, whether you'd noticed the hint dropped here that the next Pottermore release will be sooner than we think ;) . Surely if it was in April they'd have said "in the coming months" instead of "the coming weeks"? -- <font face="Rockwell" size="4" color="Purple">Am I annoying you yet? <font face="Rockwell" size="4" color="Orange">If not, let me know when I am.   00:52, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

Just so you know
I was fixing the notes on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film) to be more in line with their correct book chapter. If you look at the coverage I did with my book for the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban page, then it can help with that task. I am only contacting you since my edit was reverted along with the edit of that bad IP User's bad edit.-Adv193 (talk) 19:32, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay there is a small update and another note I am going to divide up into there proper chapters that I have to do. Also I dealt with that kind of problem before by carefully tracking the update and copy and pasted the correct stuff before posting to avoid conflicting with good faith edits just as long as it is not too complicated. -Adv193 (talk) 20:13, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

Hagrid
Yes, it does seem a bit sad that Harry, Hermione and Neville had to suffer because Hagrid couldn't confess. I agree that Hagrid could have given himself up, but if I remember correctly the punishment for owning a dragon egg is Azkaban. And Hagrid started crying just thinking of that horrible place.

What made me lose a lot of respect for Hagrid was when he said "An' it's your bad luck you grew up a family o' the biggest Muggles I've ever laid eyes on". Saying that Harry had bad luck living with a big family of Muggles seemed like a bit of a slap in the face - like Muggles are bad. It went against the whole theme of the last two or three books. -- <font face="Rockwell" size="4" color="Purple">Am I annoying you yet? <font face="Rockwell" size="4" color="Orange">If not, let me know when I am.   19:47, March 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * True, he could have put in a kind word or two - but for inviting them to his cabin, he was a gamekeeper, and had quite a few duties even if they weren't mentioned. -- <font face="Rockwell" size="4" color="Purple">Am I annoying you yet? <font face="Rockwell" size="4" color="Orange">If not, let me know when I am.   21:10, March 20, 2013 (UTC)

New Photo
Hey Professor Tofty, while searching the web one day, I happend to stumble upon this picture - m_1311300785868.jpg (578×800) ..... hopefully you will see this.

The Bone Season
Hey, Professor Tofty! Have you heard of The Bone Season? It is a great new YA dystopian book series with some aspects along the same veins as Harry Potter (but with a few key differences) that you might find interesting. You can get more information about Bone Season here. The publishers are actually offering us some copies 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 book and if we could get a great community going on wikis based on it. 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! We'd love for you to read it, so if you email me your address and name, we'd be happy to send the book along. Let me know :)

Marital Status
The infobox on the Trio (plus one, if you include Ginny Weasley)'s pages, states they're all married, wich is true only for the two or three pages of the Epilogue. For the rest of the series (virtually the whole of it), they're not.

May I inquire about the reasoning behind this detail? Personally, I'd change their marital status to unmarried, perhaps with a second line stating that by the epilogue it was upgraded, should this modification stand a chance to survive scrutiny. <font face="French Script MT"><font size="6" color="cyan">MinorStoop  10:38, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Professor.

 * True, I suppose... it's up to you. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 00:16, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

Danniesen, Part II
So... has asked for another chance and once again I figured I'd ask your opinion. Personally, I think a... whatever chance this is on, I think a final opportunity should be given for him. Let him back, one mistake and he's off for good, but maybe over time he would help out, build back lost credit over a time period of months or maybe years. Yes, he has been given literally a hundred or so warnings, and yes it is supposed to be permanent, but I still think one last shot couldn't hurt too bad. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 19:16, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * I just figured I'd ask your opinion before I started a forum on it, because if you were opposed to it chances were the others would be as well. The forum, just in case, is here. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 19:55, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Potterpedia
I somehow forgot to mention earlier, but and I think that Potterpedia, accepting all Rowling facts, should include not only the ten books but also Wonderbook and Pottermore, which both have writing directly from Rowling. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 00:04, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Goblet of Fire
"A grey owl was soaring down towards Hermione.'It hasn't got a newsaper, though,' she said, looking disappointed. 'It's-' But to her bewilderment, the grey owl landed in front of her plate, closely followed by four barn owls, a brown owl and a tawny."

 * Either one 'gray' or 'grey' is acceptable in British English :) --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 04:07, May 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree... It basically means the same, like "bike" and "bicycle". --DCLM (talk) 10:18, May 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hm... actually, I stand corrected. According to my UK spell-check, "gray" is spelled incorrectly. This happens on Microsoft Word, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. As well, "gray" is never used in the British or Canadian books. Sorry. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 22:47, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

Just wondering
Hi. Having made three wikis, two of which I run alone, I was wondering what the recommended criteria for administrator status be - I mean, what would a user have to do for me to grant them admin status? Is there any specific set guidelines? What is the criteria here on the HPW? --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 23:58, June 8, 2013 (UTC)

I'm guessing you'll have seen it here on the wiki, but have you heard elsewhere of the upcoming Wonderbook: Book of Potions? --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 23:03, June 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * No problem, I just figured that because of your experience in... wasn't it sales that you had experience in?

And I would have appreciated it if someone would've told me that it needed deleting, because I didn't want to lose everything I had already done. My point of doing this however is to help my and possibly others understanding of what is book and what is film or game. I do respect that it is Policy, so I won't argue, but I think letting me know would have been a nice thing to do, cause no one wants there work tarnished, know what I mean?

Source problem
Hi, Professor! Whenever I find such a source: Dean Thomas's background at J.K. Rowling's Official Website you can't find it anymore. On the website page I never found the infos.

A problem with Hogwarts Board of Governors
Say, Professor,

there is a disagreement between Danniesen and me about the Known members section of this page. I think that if it has to be about "known members", then only Lucius Malfoy belongs there. Danniesen insists that both Malfoy's substitute and the other eleven members have a place in it, yet no name, history or other data for them are given, not in the books, not in the movies, I wouldn't know about the games.

Any suggestion on how to get out of this impasse? Thanks! <font face="French Script MT"><font size="6" color="cyan">MinorStoop  12:23, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

locking charm
In the second video game adaption of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows during the break-in of Gringotts Wizarding Bank the doors are locked and needs the Unlocking Charm to open. When Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger reach the first of the doors Harry says "It appears to be some sort of locking charm".

Questions of Permission/capability
Hey Tofty! It's Colin, we've spoken on a few occasions. Anyway, I was wondering whether or not it would be ok (just to make sure that I don't do anything that might make this wiki mad) for myself to create another wiki called "Hogwarts Wiki"? ... In my opinion, it would in many ways support this wiki (Harry Potter Wiki) because the Hogwarts Wiki would have a soul base of only Hogwarts interior, exterior, and things similar to that, but for when characters or anything unrelated to Hogwarts/Hogsmeade would pop up, I would have links to this page.

Example: Let's say that I created the Gryffindor Common Room page. Somewhere in the page, I would show a list of students that belonged to Gryffindor House. In that list, I would link those characters to this wiki.

I'm asking for permission from the Harry Potter Wiki administration because if I did do this, I wouldn't want to make anyone mad (not to mention Wikia), and also, I thought it could help possibly promote both of our wiki's IF I were to do so? Please get back to me ... I'll fully understand if you say no, but, please please please, get back to me :) <font face="Harrington" size="4" color="Red" >Colin <font face="Harrington" size="4" color="Black" >687

Apologies for the spam, in the begining when I had previously posted my page to your listing I had been informed that a member of a rival site was deleting it. (So i had been told and found they had deleted it twice before your team jumped in.) I would like to be able to list my site, today one of my members in hopes of being helpful made a listing you marked as spam and I am wondering why and if i could please list my site.

User page policy?
The user Grace01121922 yesterday blanked her(?) user page. I reverted this with an edit summary warning that removing warnings from user pages is forbidden, but she did it again this morning, so I've reverted again and added a warning of my own, using new template (template page here).

In the above, I wanted to link the word "policy" to where it actually says that removing warnings is disallowed, but I've had a look through the relevant-seeming pages and can't find it. Do you know where this is stated? — RobertATfm (talk) 10:38, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Professor Tofty! (this sounds really bad, and I probably should know this, but is your name inspired by a Harry Potter character?)

Thanks for the kind welcome! I was just thinking, there's honestly nothing for me to contribute to the Harry Potter Wiki as it pretty much has everything anyone needs to know!

''"Wotcher" is a British term that is a shortened form of "What cheer!"

Yeah, I figured it was automated after I saw loads of people with that greeting on their talk pages.

Harry Potter Emoticons
Greetings Professor Tofty, perhaps you are aware that the Harry Potter Wiki has an obvious lack of Harry Potter Emoticons for wiki use and chat use alike. If I may, may I ask for a temporary Adminship soley to add Emoticons for the Harry Potter theme? I'd add the main characters, background characters, teachers, animals/beasts, locations, and modes of transportastion. If I can find them, spells as well. I'd appreciate it very much if you considered my offer. Thank you Professor Tofty.

Hello Professor Tofty,

I have a question on a edit of yours. You resently changed Ted Lupin to Edward Lupin. I may be mistaken but I believe it is Ted, because in the books it says Ted Lupin is named after his mother's father, Ted Tonks, not Edward. I may have gotten this wrong, so please correct me if I am. Thank you for your help, I hope this will put a stop to my confusion. Thanks again.

 * I will use one of my wiki as example ^^ First, you must create this page: . Exactly the same (same title, and you must copy the same contents^^ You can copy my page in Source view). Then, you publish the page and you can protect it from no-sysop users, if you want ^^ Then, you must go on MediaWiki:Common.js and put this code on the page:

Then you publish and it will be good :) If you have a question :P Lady Junky 00:54, August 4, 2013 (UTC)
