Talk:Minister for Magic
From Harry Potter Wiki
[edit] For VS Of
- I think every instance of minister of magic should be changed to minister for magic because the british versions of the book are the original version and anything in it thats different from the usa books should be considered canon over the usa versions. Me_Potter_Fan 09:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- The British spellings do overrule the American ones, and we try to change them, but we don't catch them all. Minister of Magic will always be written - we just need to be vigilant and change it when it occurs. Just to let you know, tho - there is at least one instance where the British version says Minister of Magic, although it is Ron saying it so he could be wrong. I'm English myself, and even I miss them. - Cavalier One 10:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Yeh, this is one of my pet peeves, but I didn't know that the U.S.A versions said anything different (I am also English). I suppose theres not a lot that can be done. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Snoops619 (talk • contribs).- There are several changes between the American and British version as far as I know, little things like changing car park to parking lot, or crumpets to English muffins. Of course, the biggest change is that the Philosopher's Stone is known as the Sorceror's Stone. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 18:17, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
- That really is annoying. I really feel it should be Philosopher's stone for both book versions. Mafalda Hopkirk 19:48, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect?
Question - What about combining the page for Ministry and Minister? What further info can be put on this page that isn't already on the Ministry page? Or is that not a problem? Mafalda Hopkirk 22:43, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
- I think they're probably best left seperate. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 23:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe the tables that list the Ministers throughout history should be identical? Mafalda Hopkirk 23:34, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rectification Please
Hi, I am new to editing wiki and I have been running into some problem - especially the codes since I am not familiar with them yet. Any kind souls please help to revert my mistakes. Thanks!
EDIT: I think I managed to replaced the necessary links, but correct me if I am wrong.
