Image of a type which is against this wiki's policies, uploaded by a user who had already been warned and then blocked for uploading this type of image, and likely in defiance of the warning. If this image had been spotted at the time it would have resulted in a longer, perhaps permanent, block. As it is, this wiki is long overdue for a mass purge of images which have never been used, and are never likely to be useful. — evilquoll (talk) 23:36, January 8, 2019 (UTC)

en:Shoyab Shaik

The page contains a character that appears to not exist. The user who created it, User: ShoyabShaik3567, appeared to cite Scene 60 Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them for a dialogue exchange from an Indian wizard of the International Confederation of Wizards present at the Pentragram Meeting in the film. No such exchange exists. IMDB does not credit an actor named, "Bay Ohshishak" for the alleged role of this character. Also, no such character was credited as existing according to IMDB.  Midnight-Mint01 (talk) 03:30, January 30, 2019 (UTC)

Or just delete, as it's clearly a common type of fanon, that of an egotistical user trying to insert themselves into the Potterverse. — evilquoll (talk) 11:22, January 30, 2019 (UTC)

I have just read Scene 60. It mentions Newt, Tina and Jacob, Madame Picquery, the Swiss ICW delegate (Heinrich Eberstadt), the British envoy, and nobody else. Hence Delete this page. — evilquoll (talk) 11:34, January 30, 2019 (UTC)

en:Boy of Card Trading Club and en:Wizard Card Collectors' Club boy

These are both broken redirects of long standing (at least 6 years), and there is no longer any point in keeping them as any pages which once pointed to the first (there were never any which pointed to the second) have long since been pointed to the proper target. If deleting them turns out not to solve the problem with the Double Redirects page (it may take several hours for the change to ripple through), it would probably be best to contact Wikia staff rather than undelete or recreate these pages. — evilquoll (talk) 10:31, February 17, 2019 (UTC)

There is now edit warring going on; a new editor called Tazenda has tried to fix the double redirect, even though this has already failed multiple times — and reverted my restoration of the delete tag, so I have had to restore it again. Deletion of this troublesome and useless pair of pages is long overdue. — evilquoll (talk) 06:34, May 9, 2019 (UTC)

Please, end this pointless edit war. — evilquoll (talk) 08:48, May 29, 2019 (UTC)

The idiot warring is continuing. We need these two pages to be deleted. — evilquoll (talk) 21:44, June 11, 2019 (UTC)

Serious copyright violation: it was stolen from the web page announcing Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (play), and edited to attempt to disguise the fact (the uploader failed to realise that a picture has to be severely mangled before Google Image Search can no longer use it to find copies), and thus violates all five restrictions on its copyright, as detailed in the talk page. — evilquoll (talk) 17:29, March 16, 2019 (UTC)

This is a copyvio, a crime under both US and UK law. It should have been dealt with at the earliest opportunity. — evilquoll (talk) 08:14, May 27, 2019 (UTC)

en:Tom Riddle's defensive spell

There's no proof that this was meant to be anything more than a normal shield charm, or similar. Voldemort raises his wand in front of himself and deflects Harry's disarming charm back at him. As usual, way too much overanalyzing goes on on this wiki. - 08:07, April 7, 2020 (UTC)

The Following text was on Talk:Tom Riddle's defensive spell. Do people think this article is notable or not? I myself am unsure, as the spell this article claims to depict could very well be another spell in existence. --RedWizard98 (talk) 08:44, April 7, 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, it could, but there's no proof of that. --RogueOwner (talk) 08:58, April 7, 2020 (UTC)

What is your overall opinion? Do you think it should stay or go? --RedWizard98 (talk) 09:06, April 7, 2020 (UTC)

There's no proof that it is either, that's the point. There's nothing whatsoever to indicate that this is a new or unique spell. There are multiple examples in the books of shield charms so strong that they knock the opponent backwards. There's literally no reason for this article to exist. - 09:36, April 7, 2020 (UTC)

This article is outright incorrect. That is not a "shockwave", that is an incomplete gif file. If you check the actual clip, what we are looking at is Voldemort deflecting Harry's Disarming Charm back at him with a wave of his hand. A wandless Shield Charm? I say we should delete this article. Tfoc (talk) 10:01, April 7, 2020 (UTC)

I agree very much with Tfoc and Xanderen. Voldemort also certainly just blocked and repelled Harry's spell with a flick of his wand, given his incredible skills with nonverbal and wandless spells. Therefore, it was probably just a silent Shield Charm. If you two agree, I will place a deletion tag on it. --RedWizard98 (talk) 05:54, April 8, 2020 (UTC)

Finland

Several magical creatures are listed as being in the geographical area of Finland. Also, from clues it is possible Durmstrang may be in Finland.

Artemis (owl)

As far as I can remember, Artemis appears in Hgwarts Mystery and is definitely canon. Can anyone who has played the game help improving the article?--Rodolphus (talk) 09:48, July 7, 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I'm the one who placed the delete tag, and yes I have since learned that Artemis appears in Hogwarts Mystery, as mentioned in the Eagle owl and Chiara Lobosca articles. My bad. -  MrSiriusBlack  Talk  10:21, July 7, 2020 (UTC)

Fat Ghost (Fourth book back cover)

While I agree the article needs to be rewritten in-universe, otherwise it just seems to just be documenting a character with a minor appearance. As we have hundreds, if not thousands, of such articles, I would suggest that this article is handled in a similar fashion.:

• This Fat ghost was seen in the stairwell ...
• BTS note about who it might possibly represent and why none of these are 100% convincing
• Single Appearance and Ref with see image

My two cents, Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 18:52, July 11, 2020 (UTC)

Article is of exceptionally poor quality, is written in such an unprofessional and out of universe style (that also no one else has sought to change or currently seems interested in doing). It is almost certain that this "fat ghost" is an illustration of Nearly Headless Nick, and this kind of low quality content has no place on a wiki with such high standards.--RedWizard98 (talk) 04:07, July 12, 2020 (UTC)

Article rewritten based on extended discussions and analysis from elsewhere - now at Fat ghost in stairwell. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 05:49, July 12, 2020 (UTC)

Deletion of the Wiggenweld Potion cauldrons

What do you guys mean it’s “not in-universe?” It IS. It’s about the cauldrons used in the PS1 video games to brew Wiggenweld Potions. You can’t get more in-universe than THAT. Beverlyjones (talk) 18:41, September 16, 2020 (UTC)

All articles need to be written from an in-universe point of view, which means the articles are written as though everything really happened. In the Harry Potter universe, someone would say something happened in the 1992, not in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Please read our editing policy for more information. I think the article can be rewritten and kept.--Rodolphus (talk) 18:51, September 16, 2020 (UTC)

I've rewritten the article. I think it can be kept now.--Rodolphus (talk) 12:29, September 21, 2020 (UTC)
