Gryffindor (2 Votes for, 2 against)

  • Support He's a famous head of house.
  • Oppose The majority of the article is a list of known Gryffindor's. The article could definitely be expanded to include years they've won the house cup, quidditch cup, more information about the common room, etc. (Also did you mean Godric Gryffindor? Cause the page Gryffindor is about the house not the founder.) -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 22:22, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Support I agree that it could be expanded, but I still support it. tyminator1
  • Oppose Eh... I dislike it. I'll probably do some work on it though. It's one of the articles with the most redlinks. Syugecin

wand (2 votes for, 3 against)

  • support -dumbledore13
  • Oppose - it could use some images. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 02:46, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose - as per DarkJedi613, also needs clean-up to remove book/film titles to conform to in-universe policy. - Cavalier One 14:41, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • support - I have added images to the wand article. As for that one mention of the PS movie, I don't think removing it will make the article better. Kyouraku-taichou 19:59, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
It needs to be removed to comply with the in-universe policy of this wiki. This means all references to book/ film titles in the main text should be removed and replaced with year values, eg, replacing in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to in 1991. - Cavalier One 07:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Fixed to include the date 1991 instead of the references to the film. Kyouraku-taichou 00:26, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Support -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 21:02, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Support -- Good summary of how she features in books, with additional references to relationship, character/personality and appearance. Very well chosen quotes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.140.8.141 (talk • contribs).
  • Support I think that it was an awesome review. Very in depth with the detail and dates are great as they are very precise. Loving the page more since it was rewritten although it's missing the part about what her patronus was like before it became a werewolf (it was a ferret by the way) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nicole17 (talk • contribs).
Please place new votes at the bottom and sign them. Also, there is no direct canon evidence that her previous Patronus was a ferret in any book or interview that I know of. If you have a source for it I'd be interested. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 12:52, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Neville Longbottom (3 votes for, 0 against)

  • Support - This article is amazing because Neville is an amazing character. He's gone through a lot of rough times throughout the series - things that a lot of us go through - and in the end he shows his true colours. I think that's a great thing for people to see from a character they have in common with. That they can achieve anything so great like Neville had done. SweetTangerine. 04:38, 7 January 2008
  • Support - With some additional help, I've cleaned the article up, and added sourced quotes. I think it looks pretty good. - Cubs Fan2007 06:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Severus Snape (4 votes for, 2 against)

Not promoted - There's potential here, but it still needs work. I would suggest a community driven rewrite using a subpage. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 08:26, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Support- There's the merging problem, but I think it is well written -Matoro183 (Talk) 22:15, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Against - Not until its merged. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 23:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Against - Its still in a mess and also needs merging...Cometstyles 14:18, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Support - It's good to go.-- Freakatone 22:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Support - It's good as is, but I think it could use a bit of tweaking, particularly in the "Magical abilities and skills" section. Two things that I noticed that are missing which are present in other Featured Articles are sections on appearance and personality. -Starstuff 14:30, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I added those two sections, though I'm having some trouble merging the list of his abilities into prose for the "traits" portion; if you guys can help, that would be great. The "personality" section is so-so, but "traits" could use some expansion. -- Cubs Fan2007 06:13, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Support: I've expanded it and added some sourced quotes.

Seamus Finnigan (4 votes for, 2 against)

  • Support: I've expanded it a bit, added some sourced quotes, and I've added some new screenshots. There are a few stubs that could be expanded in the biography, but I don't think anything that would work against it as an FA; since he essentially doesn't appear until Harry arrives at school, there's very little to include. - Cubs Fan2007 07:54, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Molly Weasley (3 votes for, 1 against)

  • Support: Molly Weasley is a fairly important character in the Harry Potter series. Some of you may may think: "Oh, she's not important!". She is. After all, she did kill Voldemort's best lieutenant, Bellatrix Lestrange. User:Ahoskinson 95 24:00, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Against: I agree that Molly Weasley is a relatively important character in the series, but the article is not extensive enough, in my opinion, to be a featured article. It could use more elaboration. 24.141.37.177 03:57, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Support: It was awesome! Extremely informative, told a lot about all different subjects and everybody loves Ron Weasley, so it only makes sense for him to be right there on the home page! I was really interested to read about all the different topics on the Ron Weasley page and it helped a lot in understanding different things. Since this is Wiki, everyone who comes right here can add the different ideas that they noticed about Ron and then I know about them too.

Salazar Slytherin's Locket (1 votes for, 2 against)

  • Support: I think it's a very informative and detailed article, that explains the purpose of the Horcrux... and the way it's hidden. --Freakatone 00:55, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose It's missing a lot of useful information -- including sources of what books the locket is in, etc. It also does not conform to the layout guide. The history part is done well, but there is no description, appearances, etc. I think it could be improved. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 02:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Draco Malfoy (4 votes for, 0 against)

  • Support: I think Draco Malfoy should be nominated because had it not been for his reluctance to reveal the identities of Harry, Ron and Hermione, they might not have lived. Gryff23 04:28, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Argument: Articles are featured for their quality, not because a particular character is liked or had a certain role in the series (see the Wiki policy on Featured Articles). That said, I think it's a well-written, detailed article, though I think it could use some more images (e.g. First Year, Inquisitorial Squad). Oread 04:49, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Support: I think its a great article with lots of quotes. I really like the relationships section. The only thing that I would say is that it needs some more images. --Freakatone 11:19, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
