How is this article related to the Harry Potter wiki? Go-On Red (talk) 17:34, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

No offense, but the article quite clearly states this subject's relation to Harry Potter. One was owned by Dudley Dursley until he destroyed in anger, as recounted in Goblet of Fire. -- 1337star ^{(Drop me a line!)} 17:38, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, but it's been some time since I've last read the Harry Potter series. 109.65.219.182 11:33, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

This is a pretty lame rationalization.  Harry's mention of the specific title Dudley couldn't play suggests that not only was he familiar with the device but that it had been out for some time and was fairly common and well known - Dudley didn't have an early version of it, clearly.  I'm not sure why people are trying to shoehorn the series into an earlier time when nothing in the book suggests this is the case.  Even if Rowling said in interviews or anywhere else that this is the case, the evidence from the books themselves doesn't support that.  174.89.31.253 16:48, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

But see, here's the thing-- it doesn't matter. As far as this wiki's policies are concerned, when it comes to canon, Rowling's word is law. Furthermore, even if that wasn't the case, I don't see anything in your argument that proves that Dudley couldn't have had any earlier version of the console. "Mega-Mutilation Part Three" is a made-up title anyway. ProfessorTofty (talk) 19:03, March 27, 2013 (UTC)
