Talk:Cornelius Fudge

References

Does it matter if the "{{HP1}}", etc. templates are used for each individual note, or does the community want the "{{Reflist}}" template at the bottom of the article? - Cubs Fan2007 09:45, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I personally prefer using the <references/> tag and manually encoding each reference (as I usually do when I rewrite articles). However, I don't believe we have a hard and fast rule on the subject. - Cavalier One^{(Wizarding Wireless Network)} 12:45, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Personally I agree with Cav. I really only use the {{HP1}} for maybe things in an infobox to show where there is a chance, etc. References can add a lot of important information -- especially that makes it more encyclopedic -- such as to where to verify a fact, including book, chapter, and possibly the page number (but also include the version!). -- DarkJedi613 ^(Talk) 14:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I figured. I like the tag at the bottom, too. The individual note tags just look distracting. - Cubs Fan2007 01:02, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Hogwarts

Did he attended Hogwarts? Not that I have a source.--Station7 17:20, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

While I realize that book canon supersedes film canon, I just re-watched Prisoner of Azkaban, and heard Dumbledore say to Fudge on their way to Hagrid's hut, "Do you remember this footpath, Minister, from your school days here?" After which, Fudge comments on how long ago it was. For my film, this is at the 1:51:12 spot. Just a thought for all to consider. Sebolto 04:42, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, film canon is considered primary, so long as the books don't have anything to say on the particular matter. Since I certainly don't recall the books saying anything that would specifically indicate that Fudge did not attend Hogwarts, we can go ahead and accept this as canon. I'll add it to the article, unless, by some chance, it's already mentioned. P.S.: Good catch - you have to listen really carefully to catch that. ProfessorTofty 05:31, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Glad to help. Sebolto 17:40, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Millenium Bridge.

When I read the main article and it mentioned the Millenium Bridge. I think we should not include non-cannon items from the movies in the main articles. Any thoughts? Ztyran 02:40, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Just told you on your talk page. Since the book never explicitly says that they did not destroy the Millenium bridge, the movie is canon. --Hcoknhoj 02:42, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

We already have a policy on canon. Items from the films/games are canon if they do not contradict a higher canon tier (i.e. the books). --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 02:44, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

As I say on my Talk page, the construction of the bridge didn't begin until after the events of the Deathly Hallows. Ztyran

That it is an anachronism is not the point. It is canon, because it is in the movie, and nothing from JKR contradicts it. --Hcoknhoj 03:06, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Not apperance in film not voice?Miki1234 08:09, February 24, 2010 (UTC) ???Miki1234 10:50, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

As far as I can remember, he can be heard saying "He's back" in the film -Smonocco 16:29, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

etymology

Curious, why is it "plausible" that Cornelia Funke's name was the Basis for Fudge's name? --BachLynn^(Accio!) 04:00, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

Just an aside - 'Oswald' is also the name of a cartoon rabbit, one of the first characters to be created by Walt Disney. When Disney lost legal control of the character (in a manner he never forgave), he instead took the character's traits and gave animated life to Mickey Mouse, the start of a dynasty on many levels. Though highly obscure, it could be said that Oswald refers to someone that could have been great (if only in their own eyes) but is forever and wholly overshadowed by the true great one (in Fudge's case, Dumbledore).Gojirob 05:56, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

House

Does it say anywhere what house Cornelius got sorted into?

Born

According to himself in book three, he was the Junior Minister at the Department of Magical Catastrophes and injuries during the time of the Blasting Curse incident by Peter Pettigrew killing 12 Muggles, meaning that he had a job as of 1981. This would mean that he was at least of age in 1981 (unless he had the job before 1981), so we should write "in or prior to 1964" in the "Born" section of his template. -- RLB01 (talk)
