Does everything and everyone in the series drop dead after the final book or something? I noticed almost every article begins with something like, "Harry Potter '''was''' a half blood wizard." From my knowledge of the English language, in articles like these it should be "Harry Potter '''is''' a half blood wizard." unless the person or thing ceased to exist.

:In short, it was decided that all "in-universe" articles would be perceived as a historical record. - [[User:Nick O'Demus|<font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color="FF8000">Nick O'Demus</font>]] 10:34, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
