A lot of links are excessive and unnecessary,like even the word "brother" links to another page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Twa0726 ( talk • contribs) 05:26, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
I've noticed there have been more than one case of random gossip online being added, particularly around the subject of Depp in support of him, with either no sourcing or unreliable ones by unregistered users. Wonder if this could be some collateral damage from the ongoing trial in Virginia so could it be worth semi-protecting this page for the next little while to stop this until that blows over?

There's a part of the Critical response section that goes on about plot holes and gives 3 examples. However, I went to the source and only one of the 3 plot holes is actually mentioned there. Can someone please remove or reword this to actually reflect the source? Narananas ( talk) 14:59, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
"Other thing that has been criticised is the plot holes in the continuity of the Wizarding World,such as Minerva McGonagall being present in the film when she is supposed to be born in 1935, Dumbledore not disarming Grindelwald and becoming the owner of the Elder Wand, the absence of Nagini and the suicide of Grindelwald when it is supposed that Voldemort kills him in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The cast list section looks weird. It was immediately obvious that something weird and different had been done using the wiki markup. (It isn't entirely clear if the problem is too many linebreaks or the use of the {{
block indent}} template.) Aside from merely looking odd, what makes this weirdness clearly incorrect is the resulting HTML markup, the source shows an entirely new list tag <ul>
creating an entirely seperate list for each and every person in the cast (instead of one list with many items in it).
Please fix the list formatting. It may be a simple matter of removing a few of the extra line breaks (directly before each {{ block indent}} tag) or it may require further changes. If in doubt please look at what the previous films in the series and see how their cast lists are formatted, as they are not making this mistake.
If you want to dig deeper into how lists work please see Help:List (and the reason why it is important to do things properly because otherwise we risk create unnecessary accessibility hurdles and screwing things up for screenreaders without realizing it). -- 109.78.196.88 ( talk) 15:18, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

There's a dispute about whether to list the nine names in the main credits billing block on the official website (which is usual according to the infobox film template), or whether to use the website's "about" section which contains a lot more names.

Here's a diff by the same user with a different IP ( 191.113.207.80 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS)), using an inaccurate edit summary while making changes to citation titles. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 21:29, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Esowteric was right to revert the cast expansion in the Infobox. Sometimes less is more. Listing nine names in the Infobox seems to be most consistent with what the guidelines recommend and the fact that the
MOS:INFOBOX is only supposed to summarizes key features
(and the lead section is also supposed to summarize). Those additions may have been in good faith but more detail in the wrong places makes the article less helpful. --
