Healing spell pronunciation

 * vulnero : to wound, injure, hurt, harm
 * salveo : to be well, be in good health

Could that be it? - Nick O&#39;Demus 00:53, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Possibly. I didn´t learn Latin at school. I only looked the words up in a dictionary.--Rodolphus 08:04, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Marius
Marius was a Squib. We know that squibs can't do magic, and if child can't do magic at age 7, that means that child really is squib. So, he was probably disnowned from family at seven or even earlier. --Lord 10:29, 22 August 2009 (UTC)´

It´s a bit speculative, isn´t it?--Rodolphus 10:33, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, maybe is. But he was probably disnowned very young, and so, it's possible that he died young, alone in big Muggle world. --Lord 10:59, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Look, I know that you loves Bellatrix. (My mum looks like her when she was younger!) I know that under picture of Elladora (that's my favourite female name from the tree, and because she was crazy and she don victory over stereotyp) is written just "Elladora". But I know this: under picture of Alexia is written "Alexia", then her dates, then the fisr name of her husband, and his surname "Walkin". I think that her full name was "Alexia Walkin nee Black". She was maybe an aunt of Cygnus and Arcturus I (my theory is that they wrere brothers). Look this, please: File:Blackfamilytreeootp1.jpg You can see Alexia Walkin and that under her picture is written many words, not just Alexia Walkin. Please, notice this. And, what you think: is my English good? I love English names, and do you know the etymology of name Cedrella? It's interesting that she and her sisters have got names on "C" (Callidora, Charis, Cedrella). Arcturus and Lysandra were probably good parents.--Lord 16:58, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for the explanation. I´m understanding it now.--Rodolphus 17:02, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Can users upload an image of theyself?

(This question is stupid, but listen: On your user page I notice that your eyes are blue gey. What means "gey"? I know that this is kind a silly, but my question are sometimes strange (like Bellatrix Lestrange, and she was strange, I'm sorry). Did you means that you eyes are blue-gray or blue-gay (this one is really stupid, I know, but please answer to me, and you should know, I am just curious, like many people who cames from varios countries). Good luck!--Lord 17:22, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

It is a missspelling of "gray", right. I´ll correct it.--Rodolphus 17:26, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Can I upload my image? It was vierd to me that eyes can be gey or gay (but if they are happy...). Good night! (in Croatia, my country, now is 20 hours and 10 minutes).

But that witch was very kind and she looks like someone who know Barty very well..--Lord

Look, we know that on one picture are decipted ancestors of the family. We know some of them: Alexia Walkin, Eduardus Limette, Phoebe and Mrs Blishwick. Only person who we don't know is this unknown Black. So, he is the only unknown Black, and so, article about him must be called "Unidentified Black" or "Unknown Black". If we founds out his name, then we will change article's name to, for example "James Black" ((I don't really think that his name was James, I think he had two names, as Alexia Walkin or Eduardus Limette, or Phineas Nigellus). --Lord 11:25, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Muggle-born Death Eaters?
Where did JKR say that? I know she said in an interview that there were muggle-born Slytherins and half-blood Death Eaters, but since the Death Eaters were trying to wipe muggle-borns out, it doesn't seem likely that any of them would be muggle-born themselves. It'd be like a Jewish Nazi. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 15:48, September 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright then, as long as JKR says so. Also, I noticed you're a Bellatrix fan, so I thought this might interest you. - <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus 16:14, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

DS Pictures
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the game characters, because obtaining them would involve photographing my DS, which I don't think would turn out well due to the small screen. <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!) 08:25, September 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * Emulators are the only way to get digital screenshots of a game, but emulation is of questionable legal status, and doesn't always work. Using a camera to photograph the screen of a TV/DS/GBA/PSP/etc. while a game is playing on it is another option, but the resulting images may not be of the best quality, due to factors like ambient light (sunlight, lamps, etc.) reflecting off the screen's glass and the "glow" of backlighting used for LCD screens.


 * In the HBP game for DS, when the characters speak, there aren't close-up portraits in their dialogue bubbles like in some other games. The game has a top-down view (here is an example) and there's only few times when it zooms in so that you can see a character's face. <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!) 10:53, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm, well, I don't know what gender was that person. Also, are you sure that skull is a person? Maybe is just a decorative motiv like mermaids under Mrs Blishwick. But, Regulus is a skull (on real tapestry, he is a wizard with hat), so, this skull is probably a person. I think he/she was a brother/sister of Eduardus, Alexia, Phoebe and the first Black.--Lord 19:14, October 13, 2009 (UTC)´

Didn´t the skull have a scroll? I don´t know the gender too, but if there was one, he/she must be a person.--Rodolphus 19:19, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

OK, but this person was decipted on the door. In the film, when Sirius closed the door, we don't see anything on the image, just a black door. So, I thinks - it's maybe possible that this skull is just a skull (but with name, maybe is on the scroll writen family moto) because this skull do not appears in the film. But, I think this is maybe really a person, so I will made an article about that person. Or maybe you?--Lord 19:26, October 13, 2009 (UTC)´

You can do it.--Rodolphus 19:31, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Wizengamot
The Wizengamot may be for Harry Potter Wikia discussions and not Harry Potter in general, but where are we supposed to ask questions about the series and dig deeper into it if there's no place for it? The Wizengamot has been used for any type of HP discussion since I've been a user so why should it change?Still Learning 14:06, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

To my knowledge, the Wizengamot is for discussing changes which affect more than one article. (e. g. changing infoboxes for multiple characters, identify unnamed film characters) and not for speculation. I cite the Wizengamot Main Page:

" The Wizengamot is a site-wide discussion area meant for topics concerning the Harry Potter Wiki. "--Rodolphus 14:21, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Doesn't Harry Potter in general concern Harry Potter Wiki?Still Learning 20:20, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

The forum is meant to discuss improvements to the articles, not to speculate aboutt things.--Rodolphus 20:23, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Where are we supposed to discuss Harry Potter in general if there is no place for that on the Harry Potter Wiki?Still Learning 20:29, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Harry Potter Wiki is an encyclopedia. If my knowledge is right, you can discuss Harry Potter in every general HP forum like e. g. Mugglenet. To be sure, you could better ask one of our Admins. I´m not an expert on our policies, too.--Rodolphus 20:36, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Also, why is there a discussion page tabbed to almost every article in this HP site? Aren't those for discussions on articles as far as editing and whatnot also? Why wouldn't the Wizengamot be an ok place to discuss HP in general?Still Learning 16:04, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

Please have a look on that Forum and ask your questions there.--Rodolphus 16:09, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

Portraits
Hi! I think you are referring to this interview when saying that Rowling stated all the portraits were of dead people. She actually doesn't say all the portraits are of deceased individuals, but all the portraits featured in the book series by Order of the Phoenix were of deceased people. I don't think that includes the films/games-only portraits, however, as they are not encountered on the series. -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 15:08, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

You´re right. In my opinioon, we could at least write a Behind the Scenes section. Something like..

"Prtrait´s subject" may have died before ...., as JKR has stated that the Portraizs in the books depict dead people.

Or similar. --Rodolphus 15:23, November 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * Sure. That's best to do that because Rowling's comment is ambiguous: she could have meant "all [portraits at Hogwarts]" or "all [portraits we've seen]". -- <font style="color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 15:30, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Weasley/Prewett
Hey Rodolphus, I added the Prewett family category to those Weasley family members because they're all technically part of the Prewett family. -- <font color="Green">GrouchMan (<font color="Green" size="1">Send an owl then scram!! ) 15:49, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Tecniclly: But all pure-bloods are related. I understand your point, but then, every pure-blood could be sorted into every wizard family category. To my knowledge, the categories are for people who have this surname, not for their descendants who have other names.--Rodolphus 15:54, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Weasley/Prewett
Hey Rodolphus, I added the Prewett family category to those Weasley, Potter, and Delacour family members because they're all technically part of the Prewett family. -- <font color="Green">GrouchMan (<font color="Green" size="1">Send an owl then scram!! ) 15:57, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Black family
Do we have to by every person who is really related to the black family by the family of a person. Like this.

Ron weasley: --Station7 16:26, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Arthur weasley (father)
 * molly weasley (mother)
 * black family

We aren´t talking abouot infoboxes, but about categories. In my opinion, only family members by birth and spouses should bw listed there. Not grandchildren with other names.--Rodolphus 16:34, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

No Rodolphus I was talking about infoboxes. And what do you think now about it?--Station7 17:01, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

We´´re talking at cross-purposes, now. I totally agree with the way how family members are listed in infoboxes. And as far as I can remember, your suggestion is okay per Policy.


 * I only don´t agree that e. g. Harry should be listed in the Prewett family category cause he married a Prewett´s granddaughter. For the same reason, we could also sort e.. g. Hannah Abbott into the House of Black category, since she married a Black´s distant relative.--Rodolphus 17:16, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry I don't know about Weasley/Prewett. You was talking about that with Grounchman, but I don't know.--Station7 17:39, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

No problem.--Rodolphus 17:41, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

Is it good if I listed as House of Black in the infoboxes?--Station7 17:43, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

I´d say yws, but Cedrella, as a direct grandmother, should still be listed sperately.

Like this:

--Rodolphus 17:47, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Parents
 * Grandparents
 * link to family article.

yes, that's what I mean.--Station7 17:49, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

Do I have the same to harry potter?--Station7 17:58, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

I´d say yes. After all, Dorea was a Black.--Rodolphus 18:23, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

Tom Riddle a.k.a. Voldemort to? Is he related to the blacks?--Station7 18:31, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

No, he isn´t. As far as I know.--Rodolphus 18:45, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

1) Blood Quill is like Cruciatus Curse. It inflicts dolor, pain, torture. It is a dark artifact that Umbridge used. 2) Umbridge was in the community of dark wizards. That is a sign. 3) The Ministry did not send Dementors. If anyone was able to conjure Dementors it was Lord Voldemort and everything that he did was Dark Magic.  He became a creature of the Dark Arts.  If Umbridge could do this ergo she is practising dark magic. 4) Etymology: Umbrage and Dolor. Umbridges character is not offense and torture! It is what she causes and alot of what she causes is through her magic.

However, noble editor, do read some of the Google debates because she is a pivotal character when it comes to debate because so much is concealed about her and it frustates fans like ourselves!
