Talk:John Dawlish

Where's a cite for the first name?
I only ever remember seeing this character called "Dawlish" in the books.Where is a source citation for his first name being "John"?--Louis E./le@put.com/12.144.5.2 17:30, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe it was mentioned during one of Rowling's book readings (or something similar) at the Natural History Museum in London. However, I have been unable to find a source for this.  Anyone know where one is? -  Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 22:42, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Update - the only sources I can find are mentions of the fact in HP forums. Since this is the case, and we have no "official" source to attribute it to, should we still keep this at John Dawlish, or move back to Dawlish until official confirmation is made? -  Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 07:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

-I believe that Rowling did say it at one of her readings, because John Noe was raving about it on pottercast. Alex Scamander
 * It's confirmed by Rowling herself on PotterCast 130. - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 19:09, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Picture

The picture looks like he's under the Imperius Curse. --Mark  (Talk to me ) 19:06, 4 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Me Potter Fan was referring to an older picture that was deleted and replaced with the current one. &#x2605; S t a r s t u f f (Owl me!) 02:20, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Name
Would it be more factually correct if we renamed this page along with others to Johnathan Dawlish? Or the full variant of their names? --70.95.158.30 05:21, 1 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Where is it is ever said his first name is "Jonathan"? "John" could be his full first name. Same with Harry; at no point is he ever referred to as "Harold", his full name is stated to be Harry James Potter. - Nick O'Demus 05:42, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Duellist
If he was such a bad duellist, then why is it listed as a skill?BachLynn (Accio! ) 02:01, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

When I remember right Dirk Cresswell thought already that there was a Bedazzlement charm/jinx or Confusion charm/jinx on him so that Dirk Cresswell already could defeat him easily and could escape. That could be also the cause that Augusta Longbottom could do so much harm to him. Harry granger 19:33, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
