Ministry of Magic and name
I recall seeing an almost identical man in HBP and in a deleted scene, you can hear the director talking to the man, reminding him that he is Professor Severing/ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 91.108.3.43 (talk • contribs).
In which scene, and why is the section titled ´Ministry of magic and name?--Rodolphus 11:12, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

- Unless a source is presented, the information shall not be included in the article. And what does this have to do with the Ministry of Magic, exactly? -- Seth Cooper owl post! 16:48, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
- Why would the director be reminding an extra who their character is? Sounds phony beloney to me. Or maybe you just misheard. Jayden Matthews 16:56, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
Well, it's most likely fanon, but it wouldn´t be the first time a character is not naned in the film itself, but later. Sinistra and Vector were first identified in Lego Harry Potter. Maybe he'll be in a future video game.--Rodolphus 17:02, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

asian?
In Britiain, we call people Asian when they are from India and other such places. Chinese people, like this witch here, would be called Oriental. It is more of an American thing to call Chinese/Japanese people Asian. 92.23.114.58 16:51, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Pomona Sprout?
Probably this Pomona Sprout teacher? Since Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank could not be a Prisoner of Azkaban, in Bathsheda, it is not very similar, but on a very even Sprout. Especially in the prisoner she was dressed in a gold color odezhy, just for the dean of Hufflepuff. User:Septima Vector

Is he this guy from POA? keep in mind almost 5 years difference, and low quality. Same nose and hair.

Maybe, He looks similar, heads a different shape thought.Emrabt 19:48, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
Because of the discription in the book I think it could be that he played Wilkie Twycross, the Ministry of Magic Apparition Instructor in HBP. What do you think? Harry granger 19:36, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Character in other films?
Our article on Neil Findlater states that he plays a Wizengamot member in OP and a Death Eater in DH. Should we consider them the same characters?
We also consider two Death Eaters from OP to be Macnair and Dolohow, though they are identified in other films.--Rodolphus 16:46, November 15, 2010 (UTC)

Should be merged, then.--Rodolphus 13:48, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure that they are the same person.Pol 871 13:57, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not that sure, either. This individual seems to have a moustache, whereas the unidentified male Hogwarts employee (IV) doesn't seem to have any. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 14:00, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think that's actually a mustache, if you look really close, I think it's just the poor image quality of the picture. I copied the picture out and played around with it some in Photoshop (cleaning it up and magnifying the pixels), it doesn't appear to be a mustache there. --BachLynn23 14:15, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

If we look at the low quality version of Teacher 4 it also looks like he has a moustache, if you look at a colour correctedemployee (XXVI) it looks like he doesn't have a moustache, it's the picture quality and the brightness. Emrabt 15:08, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
Vote for merging?
So all in all, I propose we decide once and for all whether or not these two be merged. I'm in favor of it, I think they are the same person. What does everyone else think? --BachLynn23 15:18, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
I think it's the same man, so i think merging would be a good idea.Emrabt 15:40, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
- As we're in doubt, we should keep the two just to be safe. If we get another better-quality picture that proves they're the same guy, then we should merge. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 15:48, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
- After said this image, i think that yes, they are the same individual, because in this promotional/filming image, the wizard looks with her glasses.:

Aurora Sinistra
I'm positive that she is Professor Sinistra. If you look closely she has the same skin color, nose, and face features as the actress who played Sinistra. Also, the Oriental Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry employee appeared in the first film, along with Sinistra, and returned in the same seen in this film. I'm pretty sure that is Sinistra. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zannabanna (talk • contribs).
- No concrete, verifiable evidence, no action taken. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 23:37, July 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Well I guess I'll go evidence hunting :D --Zannabanna (talk) 00:24, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
Evidence:
- They have the same pointy noses and skin color.
- Aurora's hair is braided, and this unidentified female's hair is also braided.
- Aurora appeared in the first film with The Oriental Female Employee. Some of the crew announced they wanted to bring everything back. Well they brought back the Oriental Employee in the scene this "Unidentified" female appears in. They obviously brought them back from the first film to be in this scene together.
- In Behind the Scenes of this page it says this wizard can be either Aurora Sinistra or Septima Vector. I don't even have to think about that. It's obviously Aurora. Septima is known for her red hat, and this one doesn't even have the same hair color or skin color as Septima.
This is obviously Aurora Sinistra :D --Zannabanna (talk) 15:30, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
- Uh, no. By "evidence", Seth means find a reliable source that says that the actress who played this extra is credited as Sinistra, or at the very least is the same actress who played her in the first film. I don't think we could ever say with enough certainty to list her as the same person based of physical similarity alone. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 16:23, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
- How do we know that Igor Karkaroff's Yule Ball partner appears in the last film. It doesn't look like her exactly. A lot of unidentified teachers have been put as appearing in sevreal films because they have the same hair, etc. There is no evidence of who even plays those unidentified extras either. --Zannabanna (talk) 16:29, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
- I agree with you completely. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 16:37, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
- There are numerous more. About every unidentified teacher is credited to have appeared in more than 1 film and they aren't the same extra but I'm sure the same character. Who else could this wizard be besides Aurora? I'm pretty sure this is Aurora Sinistra! ;D --Zannabanna (talk) 16:40, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
- We've seen characters have complete make-overs and, in some cases, complete redresses of their physical features (i.e. Lavender Brown, Filius Flitwick). Physical evidence is, by itself, too weak an argument to support any claim of this sort because of this. Besides, just because there are other background characters whose articles claim they were played by the same person in Deathly Hallows: Part 2, that doesn't make it fact unless there are other external sources to support it. If those articles are mistaken, we ought to correct them, not to pollute other articles with potential misinformation.
- On the other hand, when you use the "Who else could this wizard be besides Aurora?" argument, you are forgetting that Hogwarts has a large faculty and, one can presume, a just as large body of non-teaching staff (judging by the films). Why could she be? A teacher we don't know; a redress of a previouly seen teacher (á la Flitwick); an assistant caretaker; a school secretary; a member of the Board of Governors; the Chief Attendant of Witchcraft Provisions; and I could go on, and on, and on.
- One last little counterargument: "Some of the crew announced they wanted to bring everything back." Alright. I'll accept that as long as you give me a source for that statement, and point me out where, for instance, Zoë Wanamaker starred as a Rolanda Hooch or John Cleese as Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington in Deathly Hallows: Part 2. Evidently not everything was thrown into the film, so why must we presume the extras were? -- Seth Cooper owl post! 23:38, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

Unidentified male Hogwarts employee (VIII)
Hi, I found again an article where I think the photos of the employees are so similar they can be the same person: Unidentified male Hogwarts employee (XVI) and Unidentified male Hogwarts employee (VIII).
Rename
Since all the articles with too little information is redirected and put into the Unidentified Hogwarts employees page, I think we should rename this page by removing the "(XVI)" part and calling him teacher instead of employee. Just a thought. :) --94.191.187.17 10:35, August 1, 2012 (UTC)
