A Theory
Sorry to bother you, Professor, but I wondered what your ideas were on a theobry of mine. You see, I think it possible that the chapters in which spells are learned in the film correspond with their place in The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1 on Pottermore.

For example, the Unlocking Charm is said in the first film to be in chapter seven - on Pottermore, it is the seventh spell.

Is this evidence enough to assign chapters to spells, or no?

And by the way, did you see the latest post on the Pottermore Insider? I found it quite interesting. -- Hunnie Bunn (Owl me! ) 17:58, January 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid not, no - I know about the film one because I have the first and third films. However, they don't mention any other spells in the movies and I don't have the first video game. So the proof I gave is my only proof, unfortunately. -- Hunnie Bunn (Owl me! ) 18:04, January 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh well... and sorry to bother you (I know you're expecting a message from Seth) but if a spell is taught in a certain year, is it safe to add that spell to the spellbook used for that year? For example, could I add the Seize and Pull Charm to The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 3 or the Silencing Charm to The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 5? -- Hunnie Bunn (Owl me! ) 18:18, January 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oops... oh and by the way, I've been meaning to ask. What is the chat? Is it somehow different from normal talk page messages? -- Hunnie Bunn (Owl me! ) 19:09, January 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, I see.. That sounds cool. I wonder, why I haven't yet heard of it until I saw Seth's message on your talk page..? Is it for admins only, or am I just a bit too young to the site? -- Hunnie Bunn (Owl me! ) 19:13, January 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, that makes sense... I suppose you don't use it very often because there's rarely ever a need for personal conversation, and the talk pages would suffice. All the same, it's interesting to know about for future. Thanks for letting me know of it. -- Hunnie Bunn (Owl me! ) 19:18, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Chat
Hello! Sorry for not responding sooner, but I've been way to busy (hence my reduced activity this past week) and my internet connection has been intolerably lousy. Anways, I'll join the chat now, so, fire away. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 18:14, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

Re:HP On the Web
That would be great! Could you please e-mail me at grace@wikia-inc.com for more information? Thank you!

Signature spell
Hi Professor. Thank you for reminding Seth of my request for permissions. However, I wondered if it was alright if I removed the deletion tag from Signature spell, as there was no consensus for deletion - rather, all votes were for keeping it. Thanks. -- <font face="Bridgnorth" size="4" color="Indigo">Hunnie Bunn (<font face="Bridgnorth" size="3" color="Indigo">Owl me! ) 18:41, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Linking
Just wondered, would it be all right if I began putting links at the bottom of articles leading to the articles for the subjects on Potterpedia and the Potter Dictionary? Such as Slytherin, Petunia Dursley, Vernon Dursley, Dudley Dursley, etc.? Understandable if no because this is an encyclopedia and not an advertisement campaign, but due to the lack of publicity on the other two wikis I wondered. Thanks. -- <font face="Bridgnorth" size="4" color="Indigo">Hunnie Bunn (<font face="Bridgnorth" size="3" color="Indigo">Owl me! ) 20:39, January 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well of course the articles on there would link here... that'd only make sense. As for point a, I've proposed it on the forum :). -- <font face="Bridgnorth" size="4" color="Indigo">Hunnie Bunn (<font face="Bridgnorth" size="3" color="Indigo">Owl me! ) 20:54, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Chat
Hello Professor. I just wondered... was there any reason chat isn't used very often on here, or is it just because we have user-talk pages for that? Because if there's a specific reason I wouldn't want to defy it, but it'd be interesting for multiple users to be able to speak to each other simultaneously, without posting messages on a whole bunch of different talk pages and having a whole bunch of talk page headings added. All of the users discussing everything in one place. It'd be good to get to know everyone better than we already know each other. For instance, it took me a year to gather the information that you're a librarian in Ohio named George (hopefully you don't mind my saying that; I can take it out later if you'd prefer. I suppose there's a reason your username is ProfessorTofty and not GeorgeTheLibrarianFromOhio). -- <font face="Bridgnorth" size="4" color="Indigo">Hunnie Bunn (<font face="Bridgnorth" size="3" color="Indigo">Owl me! ) 03:12, January 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've never really thought of it like that; now that I think of it, you raise a point; you're right that messages on talk pages are better. However, I heard of a Reading Club thing and figured I might pick up on it again - I wanted to make sure it was allowed first before I outright asked about it. -- <font face="Bridgnorth" size="4" color="Indigo">Hunnie Bunn (<font face="Bridgnorth" size="3" color="Indigo">Owl me! ) 14:09, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Bullying Report
Hi. According to this user I am constantly harassing and bullying him on his talk page and to use his words "tearing [him] apart". You can find the comments here. I figured I'd let you know in case you wanted to block me or something, whatever it is you do when you see mean comments. Thanks!

RE:Reading Thing
Oh.. I didn't know it was wikia-sponsored. I just figured everyone loved reading and decided to do so. So if it was agreed that such would be worth trying, you'd be "in" on it? -- <font face="Bridgnorth" size="4" color="Indigo">Hunnie Bunn (<font face="Bridgnorth" size="3" color="Indigo">Owl me! ) 02:01, January 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've sent owls to and, as well as to ; it isn't much, I know, but it's a start. I liked the ideas you provided... so it's set if we can get more than two users to join? We'll have until (D)/(M)/(Y) to read a certain number of chapters and then we all... I take it we go on chat and do the reading questions? And then we read the rest and do the same for that.


 * So if the people I owled agree we promote it, then? My problem is: how are people to know to agree if it is not promoted? Yet it makes sense to wait for agreement before promoting. I'd hate to work in the Advertisement Department. -- <font face="Bridgnorth" size="4" color="Indigo">Hunnie Bunn (<font face="Bridgnorth" size="3" color="Indigo">Owl me! ) 02:23, January 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, I understand now. Tomorrow we will see then... bedtime for me, school tomorrow with a French test :) Good-night.


 * Hi. Only RainbowDashful replied as of yet, so I'm hoping throughout the week the others will respond. And by the way, how do we know that "John Wilkins" page was not an actual thing that simply wasn't sourced? Like with "Pike" or "Eduardo", from the films, he may simply be real... Just figured I'd throw the idea out there. -- <font face="Bridgnorth" size="4" color="Indigo">Hunnie Bunn (<font face="Bridgnorth" size="3" color="Indigo">Owl me! ) 22:28, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

RE:John Wilkins
I would tend to say "Ah, I understand now" and end it, but since the pictures of Pike were on here three years before he was identified, I'm a bit hesitant about this one. All the same, as the users hasn't responded I'll quit it for now. -- <font face="Bridgnorth" size="4" color="Indigo">Hunnie Bunn (<font face="Bridgnorth" size="3" color="Indigo">Owl me! ) 22:39, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Just trying to help
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">I feel that you are just standing up for Hunnie Bunn, but he has been harassing me and this has nothing to do about me taking time in my first week that I am here making a decent profile page. I have also fixed many actual articles while here. Hunnie Bunn is incorrect when he says that I am feeling that he is mean when he is simply stating rules, he knows that was not what I meant. He has threatened, harassed, and continues to message me when asked to stop and Admins have been put on notice. I doubt the Admins would block the one being harassed and not the actual harasser. I'm not trying to make enemys here, I'm just trying to add here and there to articles on Harry Potter Wiki that I've been reading for years. :)

Reading Club: Part II
approves, hasn't been online for three days,  was just on fifteen minutes or so ago but hasn't responded yet, and  hasn't been online for a while either. Nobody I've talked to about it has argued, and so I wondered whether it would be prudent to begin advertising on the Main Page or else on some other prominent place...


 * Okay, thanks. I just wanted to get something rolling to begin with, and the Twitter thing seems adequate. Thank you. -- <font face="Bridgnorth" size="4" color="Indigo">Hunnie Bunn (<font face="Bridgnorth" size="3" color="Indigo">Owl me! ) 22:39, January 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, it would be extremely "cool", in my opinion, if we received a response regarding Lavender Brown from J. K. Rowling. I didn't even know that J. K. Rowling had a twitter (but then again, the pope does...) as I don't use it myself, so it was interesting for me to learn about it. -- <font face="Bridgnorth" size="4" color="Indigo">Hunnie Bunn (<font face="Bridgnorth" size="3" color="Indigo">Owl me! ) 23:02, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Quick ?
Just checking... because I collect the Noble Collection wands... would facts about the collectable wands add to articles about the different characters' wands? I don't mean reviews... the only thing I was actually considering adding was really about Severus Snape's wand. Something of the likes of his wand being one of the heaviest and when held it is waited to fall forward. If this doesn't add to the article I won't add it. I added to Prof Slughorn's the other night and really feel I fixed that article. Someone said the wand had antennae like slugs...but slugs dont have antennae so I fixed that and added how there are eyespots and it matches his name...checking wikipedia for how to word slug body parts lol. I understand things like that and anything describing the wand and/or how the wand matches the character's personality is great to add. But what about if it's simply a trait of the collectible? Is that considered "Behind the Scenes?"

Rowling's Twitter
Just wonderin, Professor... what is J. K. Rowling's official twitter thing? I was planning on watching it to see what was new (not following, as that's what twitterers do, I suppose), but couldn't find your recent post. -- <font face="Bridgnorth" size="4" color="Indigo">Hunnie Bunn (<font face="Bridgnorth" size="3" color="Indigo">Owl me! ) 00:48, January 30, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Professor Tofty

I have a question for you:

Leprechauns are fully sentient and capable of speech, but they are classified by the Ministry of Magic as beasts. Shouldn't they be classified as beings?

Yours,
