The use of past tense with this character implies he no longer exists. I see this mistake with many articles on this wikia. On other wikis, past tense implies death, and the implication is usually right. When the character is referred to in the past tense, it implies he once existed, but lives no loinger.

We have absolutely NO proof that Ernie died in the second wizarding war. As a matter of fact, since he wasn't mentioned as being among the casualties, it's likely he survived.

I intend to go around the wiki fixing this past tense issue, and leaving it only for characters who we know died such as Sirius Black, Voldemort aka Tom Riddle, and James Potter.

Before going around the wiki as a whole, I intend for this article, as it is one of the best, and features my favorite Hufflepuff, (which is my house), to be the first edited. No major edits, just changing past tense to present. Before I fix this article, I intend to let everyone who watches this article to know of this. I am sure that once the articles in this wiki are fixed, it will become much better. Thank you.

Past tense

The use of past tense with this character implies he no longer exists. I see this mistake with many articles on this wikia. On other wikis, past tense implies death, and the implication is usually right. When the character is referred to in the past tense, it implies he once existed, but lives no longer.

We have absolutely NO proof that Ernie died in the second wizarding war. As a matter of fact, since he wasn't mentioned as being among the casualties, it's likely he survived, and we should maintain this assumption unless JKR decides to come out and say, 'oh by the way, Ernie's dead now.'
