Fair quote, but JKR nonetheless stated very clearly that Slytherins left Hogwarts to gather reinforcements consisting of Hogsmeade residents and family and friends of students and teachers behind Slughorn. This makes contradictory information. If JKR contradicts herslef, the newest information is to be take as canon, according to Wiki: canon. Maybe some slytherins fought with and some against, but we dont know. All we know is what JKR said, so there you go. --[[User:Arculus Ambleway|Arculus Ambleway]] 09:24, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

First Battle of Hogwarts

This page doesn't seem to be needed as Second Battle of Hogwarts has all the relevant information on this subject.

--BogeyHex 21:10, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

When was the First Battle of Hogwarts? Plumber
The "First battle of Hogwarts" is a term to refer to the battle of the Astronomy Tower (or Lightning Struck Tower) which resulted in Dumbledore's death. Lord Opeth 20:09, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Is Dolohov dead?

Did Flitwick kill Dolohov or not? -Matoro183 (Talk) 13:23, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I think that he did not. He only fell with a scream. During the battle in the Department of Mysteries, Kingsley also fell with a scream at Bellatrix hands. Flitwick may have created a spell like the one Bellatrix used on Kingsley, or casted the Cruciatus Curse on Dolohov, or anything else; remember Flitwick was a duel champion.

List of known participants and Suvivors?

I think it could be interesting a list of people (by name) that batled and the ones who we known have survided.

Also, does anyone remeber if any Slytherins fought for Hogwarts side? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bluelantern (talkcontribs).

At least Professor Slughorn fought for Hogwarts. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 06:29, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
I believe that JK (in the recent PotterCast interview) mentioned that some Slytherins (none by name) returned with Slughorn at the end of the battle. JK said that Slytherins were pragmatic, with a greater sense of self-preservation, so left and returned with reinforcements. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 11:31, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Under combatants it says one giant participated. But didn't Grawp fight another giant? Gwenog Jones 20:11, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Wait a second. I read that same interview with JKR, and Slytherins were on Hogwarts' side. So, why are they listed under DSeath Eater side? On Death Eater side, it says several Slytherin students, which is wrong by itself. Only Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle returned. The rest left for reinforcements. I am deleting that part and moving Slytherin students to Hogwarts' side. --Arculus Ambleway 12:27, April 25, 2010 (UTC)Arculus Ambleway--Arculus Ambleway 12:27, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Dumbledore's Demise

I have changed the description of Severus Snape's action resulting in the death of Albus Dumbkledore from "murdered" to "killed." It was made clear in "The Prince's Tale," and reiterated in the confrontation between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort that Snape's action was the result of an agreed-upon procedure between him and Dumbledore. "Murder" implies malicious intent; "kill" is neutral, and the act was, in effect, a mercy killing. ~~Squadron4959 24 January 2009

I completely agree with your edit. Since the release of DH, most articles on this wiki have used the term "killed" when discussing Snape's role in Dumbledore's death, but this instance seems to have been overlooked. It's probably a hangover from the time between HBP and DH when it was still uncertain which side Snape was serving. Starstuff (Owl me!) 15:44, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Death Eater support

Where is the proof that the Death Eaters were reinforced by Aurors and Ministry officials? Thicknesse being there means nothing, as he was under the Imperius Curse. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 11:16, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree. If this information cannot be verified, then it should be removed. Starstuff (Owl me!) 23:46, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Date of Battle

Didn't the Battle of Hogwarts first start in the evening and draw to a close after midnight? I'm pretty sure it did, and if so surely the dates for the Battle of Hogwarts should be: May 2nd - May 3rd 1998

It officially started at midnight, per Voldemort's ultimatum to hand over Harry Potter, and ended at dawn with Voldemort's death. Nick O'Demus 03:35, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

When did J.K.Rowling actually say that it happened on May 2? I have never read anywhere that it happened on May 2. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 9311927LVorTMR (talkcontribs).

In J.K. Rowling: A Year in the Life. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 22:14, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
[Edit conflict] She said it in the A Year in the Life documentary, which aired on TV in the UK in 2007, and was released on the Half-Blood Prince 2-Disc DVD and Blu-Ray: "Victoire, who's in the epilogue, was so named because she was born on the anniversary of the battle that finished it all. Which is the second of May, if anyone's been paying attention.". Starstuff (Owl me!) 22:50, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I haven't watched that part on my DVD yet, I prefer reading, so I've been looking for articles.

Date of the destruction of Marvolo Gaunts ring.

How is the date of the destruction of gaunts ring known? Also, is it the 16th, or the 26th of July, as an anon changed it to 16th and I do not know whether it is right or not. -- Ratneer Owl Me! 02:58, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

Bumped -- Ratneer Owl Me! 00:14, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
I don't think we can pin down the exact date of the ring's destruction, but Dumbledore and Harry went to visit Slughorn on July 12, 1996 (HBP4), and Dumbledore's hand was already damaged at the point. We also see Snape containing the curse in Dumbledore's hand shortly after the ring's destruction in DH33, and during the scene, Dumbledore instructs Snape to help Draco with the mission given to him by Voldemort, which presumably means that the ring's destruction preceded Snape's Vow to Narcissa.

Template

Hello, I usually don't ask these types of questions, but what is the name of the template that you used for the BOH e.g.: infobox. --KiumaruHamachi 02:58, February 13, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi

It is called simply "Battle infobox."--L.V.K.T.V.J.Hogwarts(Send an owl!) 04:05, February 13, 2010 (UTC)
