some of the games are listed as one game but they are not. the first movie got at least 3 different games based on it that are very different. the pc game is different from the playstation 1 game to such a degree that they are different games. the playstation 2 game was made later and is also a different game. i know this because i have played them. i do not know how long they made different games for different systems however. please find out for me and improve the article. 84.213.45.196 ( talk) 00:15, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
The Avada Kedavra killing curse did NOT rebound from the Expelliarmus disarming jinx, as Rowling stated many times throughout the books that the curse is unblockable. The reason the spell rebounded was that the wand in question, according to the book, "refused to kill its master". The article should be changed to reflect this correction. i agree- 84.213.45.196 ( talk) 00:18, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
The initial summary of the franchise states that the 7 books have been made into 8 successful movies. I added a brief bracketed explaination here as to why the numbers differ (the reason of course being that the final book was split into 2 movies), to clarify what might seem like a confusing mismatch for anybody not familiar with the franchise. This small explaination has quickly been reverted with the reasoning "is there anyone on the planet who isn't familiar with the franchise?"
If this is the mindset that we will adhere to, the question must be asked, why have a Wikipedia article about Harry Potter at all? If everybody is familiar with the franchise then what's the point of having an article explaining it? Even if the article exists simply to elaborate on the more obscure aspects of the franchise, surely we could cut out all the introductory/summarizing sections of article to save space, seeing as how everyone already knows everything in it?
I always thought that Wikipedia was structured so that in theory, someone who had never had any contact with society would be able to use it to learn about our world an our society. Is it instead meant to be a place where anything that is so pop-culture "everybody" knows about it anyway is never mentioned or clarified?
If someone wants to nix the clarification on the basis that it's too finicky an elaboration, I can appreciate and accept that. But if we are going to stop clarifying things here that "everybody already knows anyway", I think that's a big problem for the concepts upon which Wikipedia is based. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.183.5 ( talk) 08:17, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

I've seen a lot of websites calling "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" the eighth Harry Potter book, and it essentially is the eighth book - just in script form rather than prose form. Shouldn't it be included in the infobox list of books? I added it at one point, but it seems to have been removed...though the date of its publication is still included. Alphius ( talk) 01:24, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
I think it should be included. The cursed child is going to be a play. I think it should be included because it's basically a book that came out of a play. So I agree with you,Alphius. Zzendaya ( talk) 22:08, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
I think the cursed child should be added along in the series though it is a play only since it seems fair and also it is the continuation after a long time Shivaanisrinivas11 ( talk) 17:16, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

In "Pending Changes", I reverted an edit that tried to insert the Cursed Child, but only succeeded in messing up the infobox. Then I re-inserted it correctly. But I'm not sure if it belongs here. The lede says this article is only about the 7 books. Please feel free to revert me if my insertion doesn't comport with the local consensus. David in DC ( talk) 15:20, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
I think that there needs to be information added to the Pottermore section of the Wiki, since a few more quizzes have been added to the site.
Here is a blurb I typed up that can be used or modified to add more information.
"In 2016, the Pottermore Website added new features to it's information based layout. In addition to the traditional Hogwarts Houses that one can be sorted into and explore, one can be sorted into their Ilvermorny House which is the United States equivalent of Hogwarts. One can also find out what their wand is made out of and what their Patronus is. The quizzes that one takes to find out the results from the different sections that were mentioned above are fun, interesting, and makes one think before choosing an answer."

I notice that all seven Harry Potter novels are Good Articles, which is amazing, and I think they should form a Good topic. I believe that the articles already meet all of the criteria – and Harry Potter could be the lead article – but the criteria page recommends consulting the major contributors to the topic before making a nomination; many of them seem inactive, so I am posting here to see if anyone has any arguments against a GT nomination, or any other thoughts on the subject. (The criteria page also recommends that nominators have detailed subject knowledge; while I haven't worked on any of the articles in question, I've read most of them from top to bottom and am a huge, huge fan of the series.)

This article is very well done. It contains a lot of information about Harry Potter. The plot summaries, however, are a bit long. It may be a good idea to find a way to shorten it. There is some irrelevant information to the main plot in the summary- Nabusada ( talk) 05:45, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
I am confused over whether double or single quotation marks should be used in articles relating to the Harry Potter books. Many modern British publishers including Bloomsbury and Little Brown, who publish Harry Potter in the United Kingdom, use single marks for primary quotation and double marks for secondary quotation. However, the mainstream media tends to use double marks for primary quotation as used in American English and the Wikipedia Manual of Style says to enclose most quotations in double marks (see: Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Quotation_marks) although I seem to recall it saying Oxford spelling should be used if it is used in the novel e.g. in The Lord of the Rings.

I couldn't find what I thought would be the most basic thing about Harry Potter in the article: a list of the titles of the seven Harry Potter books. The closest I can find is that all seven titles happen to be mentioned in the 2500-word "Plot" section, but that seems a very poor way to render the information. Ultimately I had to go (via this article's hatnote) to Harry Potter (disambiguation) , which had a "See Also" section which listed an article List of Harry Potter-related topics, which redirected to Outline of Harry Potter, which had a section "The original books" which give the titles. It seems to me (someone not steeped in the Harry Potter milieu), that not having (or at least pointing to) the list is a significant defect for the base article about Harry Potter. -- R. S.

The current film list in the infobox lists the film, then the date on a new line. This was changed recently ( "Unnecessary line breaks") and reverted ( "not unnecessary, better visually").

In paragraph 4 in Plot on the sources of harry potter mythology...
However, the basic idea of muggles is from Mongol beliefs, with the word 'muggle' being linked to 'muggled' and simultaneously, a corruption of 'Mughal'. This is self-evident as a character Rabastan ('lord of stans') Lestrange is later mentioned, and the style of apparition is based upon the whirling, disappearing mongol 'dancing devil'. 115.186.172.31 ( talk) 22:48, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

I can't be bothered checking everything, but Paragraph 8 under Social Impact, needs to be deleted. There is no link between Private Harry Potter who is buried in Palestine (erronously, written as Israel) and the subject of the Harry Potter series.
In real life, HP is deeply anti-jewish and anti-christian. In the books, the monopolising owners of 'the only wizard' bank, Gringotts (your grins are got)... are goblins, or jews... and are named for everything unclean... from Urg the unclean to bogrod (bog meaning toilet in slang)...

Further clarify the names of the Dursley family in the following content to "The Plot" section:

Not sure why a sic is required when the article quotes the Christian Science Monitor, to wit, "a "disturbing trend in commercial storytelling and Western society" in that stories' "moral center [sic] have all but vanished from much of today's pop culture ...".
The article cited provides in the relevant part: "I'm not advocating for the kind of didacticism that dominated Puritan and Victorian children's fiction. Times change. Arguably, postwar, post-Depression America needed the escape value of Disney's adaptations of "Snow White" and "Cinderella." It was a marriage of storytelling and meaning-making quite apart from what the Brothers Grimm envisaged a century before. But while Disney's focus was entertainment, the moral still mattered. And that moral center has all but vanished from much of today's pop culture."
Perhaps the this article's illustration of the CSM article needs to be reworked to more accurately reflect the article by Sawyer. Jborgzz ( talk) 17:08, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
I was reading through the article and was surprised to see that there was no mention of the sale of Harry Potter toys, like wands. According to CNBC [1], toy sales make up 7.3 billion dollars worth of the brand's 25 billion dollar valuation. I feel that a reference to these sales would add to the quality of the commercial success section as toy sales make up a significant portion of the valuation. This may have been thought of already and excluded intentionally for some reason, however, I decided to write this in the event that it hadn't been fully considered yet.

In 2016, the total value of the Harry Potter franchise was estimated at $25 billion,[4] making Harry Potter one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. This wikipedia page
/info/en/?search=List_of_highest-grossing_media_franchises clearly states that Harry Potter was estimated at $32 billion in 2016. Please change it.

I agree that the article should be trimmed for the sake of clarity. I think there is room for trimming in the Literary Criticism part, as there are strong claims mentioned such as blaming the series for the result of the 2016 election that does not directly relate to the book series itself, but has more to do with the Harry Potter franchise or JK Rowling which are separate articles. I think this article can be more focused on the books themselves and their impact, instead of the impact of the entire franchise. Ekg34 ( talk) 14:40, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello @ Chaheel Riens:
I think the introductory part of the page is giving out too much information of Voldemort. It's a bit mouthful and reduces the readability. And Harry's most of the struggles are against followers of Lord Voldemort rather than with Voldemort himself.
So I think the following text needs to be changed.
Harry's struggle against Lord Voldemort, a dark wizard who intends to become immortal, overthrow the wizard governing body known as the Ministry of Magic and subjugate all wizards and Muggles (non-magical people).
To
Harry's struggles against a power hungry Dark Wizard Voldemort and his followers.
I would like to hear your thoughts on reverting the change as well. LakshmanReddy72 ( talk) 19:21, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

This is not a comment on whether the books have antisemitic themes; just double-checking the facts here, given that this part of the article could be controversial.
Looking at:
they are described by Rowling as a "secretive cabal of hook-nosed, greedy bankers"
The phrase in quotes comes from a Forbes article [3](not referenced in the Wiki page), and I haven't found this in the books (and this Stack thread [4] supports that).
It looks like there's a chance to clear up that Rowling did not use this specific quote. It could be relevant to mention how the goblins looked in the movies.
I'd suggest replacing the sentence with
The goblins of the world of Harry Potter have also been accused of following antisemitic caricatures, particularly for their grotesque "hook-nosed" portrayal in the films.

From #Style and allusions:
This is not onomatopoeia (which requires the word to sound like what it means). These names evoke the qualities of their people by etymology. The name "Lupin" doesn't sound like a wolf, it's just an allusion to the Latin word for it; if he were named "Awoooo" that might be onomatopoeia. Not sure what the correct phrase would be or how to change this without inserting original research. The cited sources require an account to see what they say. Tagging with "Clarify".

some of the games are listed as one game but they are not. the first movie got at least 3 different games based on it that are very different. the pc game is different from the playstation 1 game to such a degree that they are different games. the playstation 2 game was made later and is also a different game. i know this because i have played them. i do not know how long they made different games for different systems however. please find out for me and improve the article. 84.213.45.196 ( talk) 00:15, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
The Avada Kedavra killing curse did NOT rebound from the Expelliarmus disarming jinx, as Rowling stated many times throughout the books that the curse is unblockable. The reason the spell rebounded was that the wand in question, according to the book, "refused to kill its master". The article should be changed to reflect this correction. i agree- 84.213.45.196 ( talk) 00:18, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
The initial summary of the franchise states that the 7 books have been made into 8 successful movies. I added a brief bracketed explaination here as to why the numbers differ (the reason of course being that the final book was split into 2 movies), to clarify what might seem like a confusing mismatch for anybody not familiar with the franchise. This small explaination has quickly been reverted with the reasoning "is there anyone on the planet who isn't familiar with the franchise?"
If this is the mindset that we will adhere to, the question must be asked, why have a Wikipedia article about Harry Potter at all? If everybody is familiar with the franchise then what's the point of having an article explaining it? Even if the article exists simply to elaborate on the more obscure aspects of the franchise, surely we could cut out all the introductory/summarizing sections of article to save space, seeing as how everyone already knows everything in it?
I always thought that Wikipedia was structured so that in theory, someone who had never had any contact with society would be able to use it to learn about our world an our society. Is it instead meant to be a place where anything that is so pop-culture "everybody" knows about it anyway is never mentioned or clarified?
If someone wants to nix the clarification on the basis that it's too finicky an elaboration, I can appreciate and accept that. But if we are going to stop clarifying things here that "everybody already knows anyway", I think that's a big problem for the concepts upon which Wikipedia is based. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.183.5 ( talk) 08:17, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

I've seen a lot of websites calling "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" the eighth Harry Potter book, and it essentially is the eighth book - just in script form rather than prose form.

Alphius ( talk) 01:24, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

I think that there needs to be information added to the Pottermore section of the Wiki, since a few more quizzes have been added to the site.
Here is a blurb I typed up that can be used or modified to add more information.
"In 2016, the Pottermore Website added new features to it's information based layout. In addition to the traditional Hogwarts Houses that one can be sorted into and explore, one can be sorted into their Ilvermorny House which is the United States equivalent of Hogwarts. One can also find out what their wand is made out of and what their Patronus is. The quizzes that one takes to find out the results from the different sections that were mentioned above are fun, interesting, and makes one think before choosing an answer."

I notice that all seven Harry Potter novels are Good Articles, which is amazing, and I think they should form a Good topic. I believe that the articles already meet all of the criteria – and Harry Potter could be the lead article – but the criteria page recommends consulting the major contributors to the topic before making a nomination; many of them seem inactive, so I am posting here to see if anyone has any arguments against a GT nomination, or any other thoughts on the subject. (The criteria page also recommends that nominators have detailed subject knowledge; while I haven't worked on any of the articles in question, I've read most of them from top to bottom and am a huge, huge fan of the series.)

I have moved the image of JKR to the left and the logo to the right because this image has her looking off to our right and placed on the right side of the page, the reader's eye will look at her face and tend to move right. This image is designed for the left side so she looks into the page and reader's eyes stay on the page. The logo image can be put on either side, I have adjusted it to the right.

This article is very well done. It contains a lot of information about Harry Potter. The plot summaries, however, are a bit long. It may be a good idea to find a way to shorten it. There is some irrelevant information to the main plot in the summary- Nabusada ( talk) 05:45, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
I am confused over whether double or single quotation marks should be used in articles relating to the Harry Potter books. Many modern British publishers including Bloomsbury and Little Brown, who publish Harry Potter in the United Kingdom, use single marks for primary quotation and double marks for secondary quotation. However, the mainstream media tends to use double marks for primary quotation as used in American English and the Wikipedia Manual of Style says to enclose most quotations in double marks (see: Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Quotation_marks) although I seem to recall it saying Oxford spelling should be used if it is used in the novel e.g. in The Lord of the Rings.

I couldn't find what I thought would be the most basic thing about Harry Potter in the article: a list of the titles of the seven Harry Potter books. The closest I can find is that all seven titles happen to be mentioned in the 2500-word "Plot" section, but that seems a very poor way to render the information. Ultimately I had to go (via this article's hatnote) to Harry Potter (disambiguation) , which had a "See Also" section which listed an article List of Harry Potter-related topics, which redirected to Outline of Harry Potter, which had a section "The original books" which give the titles. It seems to me (someone not steeped in the Harry Potter milieu), that not having (or at least pointing to) the list is a significant defect for the base article about Harry Potter. -- R. S.

The current film list in the infobox lists the film, then the date on a new line. This was changed recently ( "Unnecessary line breaks") and reverted ( "not unnecessary, better visually").

In paragraph 4 in Plot on the sources of harry potter mythology...
However, the basic idea of muggles is from Mongol beliefs, with the word 'muggle' being linked to 'muggled' and simultaneously, a corruption of 'Mughal'. This is self-evident as a character Rabastan ('lord of stans') Lestrange is later mentioned, and the style of apparition is based upon the whirling, disappearing mongol 'dancing devil'. 115.186.172.31 ( talk) 22:48, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

I can't be bothered checking everything, but Paragraph 8 under Social Impact, needs to be deleted. There is no link between Private Harry Potter who is buried in Palestine (erronously, written as Israel) and the subject of the Harry Potter series.
In real life, HP is deeply anti-jewish and anti-christian. In the books, the monopolising owners of 'the only wizard' bank, Gringotts (your grins are got)... are goblins, or jews... and are named for everything unclean... from Urg the unclean to bogrod (bog meaning toilet in slang)...

Further clarify the names of the Dursley family in the following content to "The Plot" section:

Not sure why a sic is required when the article quotes the Christian Science Monitor, to wit, "a "disturbing trend in commercial storytelling and Western society" in that stories' "moral center [sic] have all but vanished from much of today's pop culture ...".
The article cited provides in the relevant part: "I'm not advocating for the kind of didacticism that dominated Puritan and Victorian children's fiction. Times change. Arguably, postwar, post-Depression America needed the escape value of Disney's adaptations of "Snow White" and "Cinderella." It was a marriage of storytelling and meaning-making quite apart from what the Brothers Grimm envisaged a century before. But while Disney's focus was entertainment, the moral still mattered. And that moral center has all but vanished from much of today's pop culture."

I was reading through the article and was surprised to see that there was no mention of the sale of Harry Potter toys, like wands. According to CNBC [1], toy sales make up 7.3 billion dollars worth of the brand's 25 billion dollar valuation. I feel that a reference to these sales would add to the quality of the commercial success section as toy sales make up a significant portion of the valuation. This may have been thought of already and excluded intentionally for some reason, however, I decided to write this in the event that it hadn't been fully considered yet.

I agree that the article should be trimmed for the sake of clarity. I think there is room for trimming in the Literary Criticism part, as there are strong claims mentioned such as blaming the series for the result of the 2016 election that does not directly relate to the book series itself, but has more to do with the Harry Potter franchise or JK Rowling which are separate articles. I think this article can be more focused on the books themselves and their impact, instead of the impact of the entire franchise. Ekg34 ( talk) 14:40, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello @ Chaheel Riens:
I think the introductory part of the page is giving out too much information of Voldemort. It's a bit mouthful and reduces the readability. And Harry's most of the struggles are against followers of Lord Voldemort rather than with Voldemort himself.
So I think the following text needs to be changed.
Harry's struggle against Lord Voldemort, a dark wizard who intends to become immortal, overthrow the wizard governing body known as the Ministry of Magic and subjugate all wizards and Muggles (non-magical people).
To
Harry's struggles against a power hungry Dark Wizard Voldemort and his followers.
I would like to hear your thoughts on reverting the change as well. LakshmanReddy72 ( talk) 19:21, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

This is not a comment on whether the books have antisemitic themes; just double-checking the facts here, given that this part of the article could be controversial.
Looking at:
they are described by Rowling as a "secretive cabal of hook-nosed, greedy bankers"
The phrase in quotes comes from a Forbes article [3](not referenced in the Wiki page), and I haven't found this in the books (and this Stack thread [4] supports that).
It looks like there's a chance to clear up that Rowling did not use this specific quote. It could be relevant to mention how the goblins looked in the movies.
I'd suggest replacing the sentence with
The goblins of the world of Harry Potter have also been accused of following antisemitic caricatures, particularly for their grotesque "hook-nosed" portrayal in the films.

The lead section says, among other things,
«All versions around the world are printed by Grafica Veneta in Italy.»
Isn't this a little too all-encompassing ? I have here two hardcover copies: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, cover illustrations by Jason Cockroft, edition 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4; and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, cover illustrations by Jason Cockroft, First Edition. Both have near the bottom of the colophon (titlepage verso) "Printed in Great Britain by Clays Ltd, St Ives plc" and "www.bloomsbury.com/harrypotter". — Tonymec ( talk) 04:07, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
Sorry, just created an account to mention this, so please forgive my newbism... But can we change "He meets a half-giant named Hagrid who invites him to attend the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." to "He meets a half-giant named Hagrid who delivers a letter inviting him to attend the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." as that would be more accurate/true to the novel?

I found a typo, as though it might confuse young kids as you said governing body, as maybe you could have not added body and acr as many people(younger) may not understand! Notyoubri ( talk) 13:55, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
From #Style and allusions:
This is not onomatopoeia (which requires the word to sound like what it means). These names evoke the qualities of their people by etymology. The name "Lupin" doesn't sound like a wolf, it's just an allusion to the Latin word for it; if he were named "Awoooo" that might be onomatopoeia. Not sure what the correct phrase would be or how to change this without inserting original research. The cited sources require an account to see what they say. Tagging with "Clarify".

Considering the book and movie or to be precise the universe on the whole having such a profound impact on people, it would be helpful to add a section on how much depth of impact it has on people and also on popular culture. VerseVoyager8 ( talk) 15:53, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
