Talk:Periculum

Picture?

Could we get a picture of the fireworks going off in the sky after Harry casts the spell in The Goblet of Fire? —C Teng 20:22, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Rename?

At a previous date, 99.246.206.192 and 1337star decided to merge the Red Sparks page with this one. I have just merged the pages, but alas cannot rename this page to Red Sparks. I wondered whether, first of all, it would be suitable to delete Red Sparks, second, whether if we did delete Red Sparks, and third, whether or not I'll get in trouble for my edit. Thanks! :D Hunnie Bunn 15:02, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Hunnie Bunn, ya fool, I let you a message about this on your talk page. MERGE THEM. They ARE the same spell and it is a waste of Harry Potter Wiki space to have Red Sparks and Periculum as two different pages. MrSiriusBlack (talk) 22:01, November 8, 2012 (UTC)

I'm glad to see you chose to bring this topic back to the talk page. Also, the message you're replying to was before I un-merged them - that is, I'd already merged them but later decided it inappropriate for the purposes of the wiki - that is, I deemed that they weren't the same. Now, what exactly makes you think they're the same, apart from that they both emit red sparks? --Remember (Least We Forget) 22:37, November 8, 2012 (UTC)

Since we're discussing this again, I'll point out that the Goblet of Fire film is a higher canon source than the video games (I believe one of those Verdmillious or Vertimillous or whatever spells from those is the only other contender here). And the video game spell isn't shown to be used as a signal flare, as both these spells are (if we assume that "Red Sparks" is representing the spell Hagrid has the detention goes use in Philsopher's Stone anyway). -- 1337star ^{(Drop me a line!)} 22:54, November 8, 2012 (UTC)

That's true. And whilst you're right, I'll ask you: if Periculum is the red sparks, what's green sparks? That's why I wanted them to remain separate. It would make sense that Vermillious can't be red sparks since it wasn't used as a flare, but at the same time it does make sense that it and Verdimillious, green sparks, are taught simultaneously. --Remember (Least We Forget) 23:04, November 8, 2012 (UTC)

Based on the information we have, I'm inclined to believe they're not one and the same. ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:08, November 8, 2012 (UTC)

From what I can tell, there doesn't seem to be any consensus to merge these. Can we agree that they are to remain separate, then? ProfessorTofty (talk) 22:27, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with keeping them separate until we have compelling evidence to suggest that they are one and the same. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 22:55, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

OK, Periculum is Red Sparks, and it seems Hunnie Bunn stated above that Green Sparks is Verdimillious. Look at the picture, guys, Periculum being cast - what does the picture show? Red Sparks. Just reinforcing my point that they are - ah - one and the same. MrSiriusBlack (talk) 09:46, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

As I said on the other page, it does indeed show red sparks, but if you lose a brown horse named Pony and pick up one named Flower is it the same horse? No. All the same, community must do what is best for community. And if any user could open a vote I would do so myself, but since we can't... Despite the fact that currently more users support individuality of the two articles, if nobody has any direct opposition by Wednesday, 9 January, 2013 at 8 AM E.T. (or 12 Noon in GMT) then the two articles can be merged. Until that time please leave the articles as they currently are. Thanks. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 14:32, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Seeming as that patricular time you just stated, Hunnie Bunn, passed nearly a year ago, I think we can start on the merge now. ;) 94.8.203.203 15:22, January 6, 2013 (UTC) MrSiriusBlack (talk) 15:25, January 6, 2013 (UTC) (Forgot to sign in previously)

Nice catch ;) --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 15:38, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Are you saying then, that you withdraw your objection, Hunnie Bunn? That the two spells are the same and they should be merged? It's getting hard to keep track. ProfessorTofty (talk) 17:05, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

I don't think it's hard to keep track, Tofty, seeming as the merge template has already gone up. MrSiriusBlack (talk) 18:02, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
