Talk:Order of Merlin

From Harry Potter Wiki

Is there any monetary reward involved in the Order of Merlin, or just the honour? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.90.88.107 (talk • contribs) 05:27, 26 April 2009.

[edit] Kindness Toward Muggles?

Are we quite sure that the only reason for recieving the Order is for kindness toward Muggles? Because I highly doubt that Sirius' grandfather would get one, and Snape nearly recieved one for capturing Black. --Parodist 16:17, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

This information seems to have been based on Merlin's Famous Wizard Card, which states that the Order of Merlin began not as an award, but as an organisation which promoted Muggle rights. Evidently, the Order of Merlin changed from an organisation to an award at some point, and its emphasis from Muggle rights to honouring great deeds in general. ★ Starstuff ^{(Owl me!)} 03:00, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
