Every Election via Qilin?[]

Is it really true that the Ceremony is held every time a Supreme Mugwump is elected? I had the impression that Qilin's are so rare that one is only seldom avaiable and so the election would be an ordinary one except in special cases where a Qilin would have been found.

Apparently so. Nobody asked what the Walk of the Quilin was when Anton Vogel announced it, at least. WeaseleyIsOurKing89 (talk) 15:48, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

But he also said little children are told about Qilins so if people saw one there they would probably know what it could do. So that cannot serve as a justification for saying the election is always done by a Qilin.Elecrom (talk) 11:51, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

"Ceremony"[]

Is "Ceremony" really a part of the formal name? In the film Vogel just says "The Walk of the Qilin" if I remember correctly. MalchonC (talk) 14:22, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Perhaps, I think he just says that. Maybe the name of it is contained in another source? RedWizard98 (talk) 14:25, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
I'll probably wait until the Screenplay releases. It may contain more information. SeichanGrey (talk) 11:56, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

I don't have the screenplay yet, so can anybody confirm if "Ceremony" is really a part of the name? MalchonC (talk) 12:35, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

I think it's just "The walk of the Qilin". It says in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore - The Complete Screenplay, Scene 94: "...important part of our ceremony. The walk of the Qilin". The ticket design and ceremonial banner concept art in the screenplay also say 'THE WALK OF THE QILIN' TICKET DESIGN/CEREMONIAL BANNER" so it does not have the word ceremony with it. - Kates39 (talk) 11:24, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
I see, glad that this is finally resolved. But many pages still have the believed formal name "The Walk of the Qilin Ceremony" on them, so they ideally should all be changed. MalchonC (talk) 11:33, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
