Harry Potter Wiki:Selected Pictures

Selected Pictures are some of the best pictures the Harry Potter Wiki has to offer.

Each selected picture, along with a short description of what it's about will be shown on the main page for a time period. Please update the Featured article on the Main Page on Selected picture according to the schedule below. The text content of the Selected Picture template should be the first paragraph of the article the picture portrays.

The rest of this document covers what type of pictures should be considered, the criteria they should be judged by, the nomination/promotion/rejection procedure, and updating of the main page in detail, as well as lists of current selected pictures.
