Hello El Profeta! I just want to know where did you got the original version of this image? The one without tampering/replacing of individuals. --ÈnŔîčö DC(Send me an Owl!) 06:02, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
The Charms Tower and Library Tower aren't the same thing. Edit
I was just wondering why you have made the Charms Tower and Library Tower the same article as they're completely different towers. The Library Tower overlooks the Viaduct Entrance and the Charms Tower overlooks the Training Grounds. I don't know how you can think they're the same thing and please could you put them back to the way they were. Joeworthy 18:24, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
In the OOTP and HBP video games, the library is shown to be in the tower overlooking the Viaduct Entrance. Also, that tower is never mentioned as being the Ravenclaw Tower in any of the films.
I agree with what you're saying about the LIBRARY TOWER and CHARMS TOWER being conjecture.
I think that, because we don't really know what's in the CHARMS TOWER because it's always changing, we should just call it the NORTHERN TOWER or TRAINING GROUNDS TOWER.
I think that it would make sense to call the LIBRARY TOWER the VIADUCT TOWER or the CENTRAL TOWER.
As for the RAVENCLAW TOWER, I think we should merge that with the LIBRARY TOWER once it's changed and say in the Behind the Scenes section that it could be Ravenclaw.
That was my bad, I had just woken up, and everything wasn't clicking in my mind, I was thinking about the Battle fo the Astronomy Tower where she is in it in the movie, but not in the book. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 23:31, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
Hi, just seen your edit on the Grand Staircase and you've put that the Fat Lady appeared in the Goblet of Fire film. I'm pretty sure she doesn't make an appearance and would just like to know where you got this information that her portrait was in a different part of the castle.
Thanks Joeworthy 10:43, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I get what you mean now. We know that the tower at the corner of the Paved Courtyard is the Gryffindor Tower and so we presume that the Fat Lady we see in Prisoner of Azkaban is a shortcut leading from the Grand Staircase to this tower. I had already explained this on the Fat Lady's page. Hopefully you get what I'm talking about!
Thanks Joeworthy 12:18, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
Hi El Profeta Vespertino, just wanted to say that I love your Boggart and completely agree with it (Just wish I could have though it up first). How anoying are those film-makers! The way they change the castle can sometimes be a good thing but most of the time it is just completely unnecessary and has made the series be inconsistent and feel dis-jointed. It makes me so mad!
Joeworthy 21:03, June 22, 2010 (UTC)
That image wasn't better quality. It was stretched, and that usually decreases from the image's quality. Besides, that red background was unnecessary. (Sorry for answering so late, it's just I hadn't noticed you had left me a message in my talk page.) -- Seth Cooperowl post! 12:38, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
Hola!!!
Si yo tambien solo participo en la inglesa,aunque mi ingles sea muy básico.Almenos me dedico a subir fotos y frases cortas,ayudado siempre del traductor de google xDPol 871 15:03, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
veo que usted también intenta descifrar la identidad de los profesores no identificados.Aunque creo que a estas alturas,descifrar su identidad es imposible.Muy probablemente los cineastas solo los usen como extras, sin saber nada acerca de su identidad.Si al menos podríamos contactar con algún actor...bueno, haver si tenemos suerte!Pol 871 09:47, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
No, I'm guessing it's just the table arrangement they chose for Goblet of Fire. First, there's absolutely no evidence to claim this is the Ministry table. Second, Bartemius Crouch is sat next to Dumbledore. Also, the unidentified female Hogwarts teacher is sat on the second table. -- Seth Cooperowl post! 10:47, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
As we now have this new information about the Transfiguartion Classroom, I have a suggestion: It was located here in the first two films before being moved to its new location from the third onwards because of the addition of the Dark Tower.
Also, about the Hospital Tower, that is extremely strange. I think that "Hospital Tower" sounds best, but you can change it to "Infirmary Tower" if you want. Please add any info you were going to use to this page as it would be much appreciated. The image is also awesome, is it from Goblet of Fire?
Joeworthy 18:39, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
Ok, I think I got it wrong about saying that the Square Staircase is located in the Grand Staircase Tower - I must have got it mixed up with somewhere else. I agree with you that it is actually located in the area between the Grand Staircase Tower and Gryffindor Tower which surrounds The Quad.
Do we have a name for this area or would you be able to think of one. As we are now undecided about the locations of areas of the caste eg. north, south etc. I don't have any ideas.
Joeworthy 10:03, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
I'd never look so closely at that image of the DADA Tower. I think Suspension Bridge Hall or Suspension Bridge Entrance would be best. I wouldn't mind creating the article if you want. Joeworthy 10:50, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for creating the page; had decided I'd make it today, but now I don't need to! The images you got are fantastic. Joeworthy 12:49, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
Thank you so much for updating the images I had added to the corridor pages. Yours always seem to be much better than mine.
Joeworthy 17:26, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
Hi, the reason I have added that the North Tower is in the location I have specified is because of it's location in the [[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (video game). Here, it is located on the Seventh Floor Corridor which we know must go around The Quad as it doesn't pass over any sort of bridge. And, as we can definitely not say that the Grand Staircase Tower or Gryffindor Tower are the North Tower, and we can presume it's not in the Stone Bridge Tower, then this is the only other explaination. Hope this makes sense, Joeworthy 21:53, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry for eavesdropping, but I think I can think of a reason why CavOne revert the change. On JK Rowling (witch) that is the name in The Tales of Beedle the Bard (real) established her as JK Rowling in Canon. It doesn't give a first name in Canon. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 00:14, July 25, 2010 (UTC)
I think this should be an exception to the rule. She wrote the books as JK Rowling for a reason (mainly that boys might not want to read about by a female author). Anyway, CavOne is the bureaucrat on the wiki, so it is unlikely that it will be changed back. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 14:53, July 25, 2010 (UTC)
I noticed that you've placed File:Hogwarts Tapestry.jpg under the "Images I've uploaded" section of your user page. However, it was I who uploaded the image. Would you mind removing the image from that section of your user page? -- Seth Cooperowl post! 22:14, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
No big deal. It's just it might have confused other users. -- Seth Cooperowl post! 23:35, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I understand that you have just changed the Clock Tower location back from third floor to bottom of the Clock Tower. I think it would make sense to specify here that this tower does indeed start at the third floor so as to avoid confusion (i.e. people thinking that the tower starts at ground floor level).--Jpkilleen
Hi El Profeta Vespertino. What do you think about moving North Tower to Divination Tower? It is referred to as such in the Half-Blood Prince game, and we know that the tower is not at the north of the castle, as the lake is south of the castle. Therefore, seeing as the main contents of this tower is the Divination classroom, I believe it should be moved to this new name. What do you think?--Jpkilleen 14:03, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, something else I wanted to say as well. We have now named three of four towers on the corners of the Viaduct Entrance building as Left Viaduct Tower, Right Viaduct Tower and Myrtle's Bathroom Tower. Is anyone considering naming the remaining, unnamed tower?--Jpkilleen 14:24, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
Well, I think we cannot say it's not canon. It could be a room that presented different rewards to each student for some of their academical achievements in a quasi-Room of Requirement way. -- Seth Cooperowl post! 17:31, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
I know that the article for Hogwarts castle is kind of your baby, so I thought I'd give you the heads up that some unregistered user is making major edits. I don't know the article so I have no idea how to change it. Thanks, --JKoch(Owl Me!) 03:50, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
Just so you know, I've created an article for the fourth tower atop the Viaduct Entrance: the Herbology Tower. The reasons for the name can be found on the article.Jpkilleen 12:18, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
I read the Lexicon, and fair enough, the Second-floor girls' lavatory can stay where it is. I just remembered reading on the Lexicon about being mentioned as both first and second floor, that's all. And I know, there doesn't seem to be a place for the courtyard, but hey, it's there somewhere!--Jpkilleen 14:53, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you but I noticed your signature. How do you change the font and the colour of it. Id really appriciate an answer, thanks. The-Free-House-Elf 16:57, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
Si, por fin podemos empezar a atar cabos sobre ésos profesores no identificados, ¡ya era hora!
Personalmente, sigo creyendo que IMDB no es un sitio fiable, pues cualquiera puede editar en él, y de veras me extraña que Hallam interprete a Aurora.lO DIGO POR:
-Si lo hubiera hecho,¿no sería lógico que ella lo dijera en su myspace o twitter?
-Creo que, en el caso de que Aurora apareciera en la película, la hubieran hecho aparecer más, al igual que hicieron con el personaje de Hazel (del que sigo pensando de que ella SÍ es Aurora)
-Y por útlimo, en el videojuego de LEGO, los personajes aparecen con su mas reciente apariencia (fíjate en Filius Flitwick), y sin embargo, Aurora aparece con su look de la primera película.
No sé, como ves tengo bastantes dudas, aunque por otro lado me siento muy satisfecho de poder poner las cosas en su sitio por fin. Por cierto, ya he subido la imagen de Hallam/Aurora xD
Está en la página de discussión de la profesora no identificada, he pensaod que sería conveniente mantener el hilo allí para que todo el mundo pudiera seguirlo.
Saludos desde Catalunya!Pol 871 07:47, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
es cierto que IMDB la acredita, pero creo que es un error. De hecho, ella solo aparece en la escena del andén nueve y tres cuartos, detras de voldemort, asiq ue dudo que sea sinistra.Pol 871 11:30, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
Hola de nuevo xD
He conseguido una foto de Hallam en Ottp, pero me temo que ella ni siquiera pisó los terrenos de hogwarts para esa peli, solo aparece en la escena detras de voldemort.
Eso de preguntarle por twitter sería una muy buena opcion, peor yo tampoco tengo.Sabes de alguien que si?
Y si, es cierto,se nos ha acavado el chollo. Los administradores siempre se han mostrado muy reacios a aceptar nuestras investigaciones sobre los No identificados, aunque por otro lado es comprensible...Buneo, muchas gracias por todo!Pol 871 18:55, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the congrats! Oh, and for pointing out the video game, I think when I did it I had meant to put half blood prince, but my choice has changed now anyways (currently it's the lego years 1-4), but I'll probably change that when the Hallows game comes out for xbox. Favorites are such a hard choice when it comes to HP, I love all HP stuff! lol! I'm laid off right now from work, so right now my goal is to hit 2,000 edits by the end of the month, lol! I'm on this site like every day right now for hours. --BachLynn23 17:54, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
I don't believe Sprout's office is identified in any Harry Potter video game. But I agree we should create a page for each greenhouse. -- Seth Cooperowl post! 22:57, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
However, in CS/vg (GBC version), Greenhouse Two (as identified with a plaque) is an Herbology classroom. -- Seth Cooperowl post! 00:04, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
Hey, I'm assuming you saw my post on Seth's page, I tried pasting it into the signature section under preferences, and checked the box, but it said something about invalid html's....don't know what to do.... --BachLynn23 15:43, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
Thank you!!!!! I've been editing like crazy the last few weeks since I've been laid off from my job, going nuts at home with nothing to do but re-read my Harry potter books and make edits! lol! --BachLynn(Accio!) 19:03, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
There really is no policy. It is arbitrary in whether the admins have decided which character's warrant a vote and which don't. I'd refer this a more senior admin. So, I'm going to revert the image until we figure out if Fleur warrants a vote. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 18:36, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
Nick opened a vote. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 14:06, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
I've been working on cleaning up the Hogwarts Castle article and creating some navigation boxes for the Castle locations and grounds and such, Seth has been helping me, but he said that you may know more about Hogwarts East then him, I'm not sure where to put it in relation to the rest of the castle, what do you think? --BachLynn(Accio!) 02:03, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
I know that neither of us have edited Harry Potter Wiki for a long time, and you may not even remember who I am, but I have recently drawn a map of Hogwarts Castle which I think you may be interested in. The picture and explanation can be found at this link: http://NewHogwartsVillain.deviantart.com/art/Hogwarts-Castle-Map-198455505
Hi, nice to hear from you. I've also been really busy over the past few months and edited hardly at all. I wouldn't say I was in 'retierement' and I promise to do loads of editing once the eighth movie is released. I am, however, still extremely mad on anyhting to do with Harry Potter and visited the Wizarding World last year. I also recently created another Wiki, http://disneyparkscharacters.wikia.com/wiki/Disney_Parks_Characters_Wiki, but there has been no other intrest and so it's at a bit of a stand still. I've heard about the new Boat House and I think it is great that we're going to see the interiors of it in a film (even though it will look different). Also, do you agree with my placing of the North Tower, the small lake and Dumbledore's Tomb on the map, and is there any other alterations you would have made?
I've noticed you've merged "Assembly hall" with "Classroom 1B". You left in the article's history that it has been identified as such, but I don't seem to remember where. -- Seth Cooperowl post! 21:07, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
I know, but still, it's the only name the English version provides us with. It may be the best to keep it, as it would aid in research and it would be more consistant with other articles. About your little project, it's neat. Although, I think it's a bit cluttered (one cannot easily tell where one person ends and the other begins). Nevermind the "vandal" (more of a concerned user), as the spirits were getting elated back then (we've since discussed the matter, and I think we have reached a conclusion on that matter). -- Seth Cooperowl post! 22:09, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
Translations are canon, but only to a certain degree. Certain additions (like Baruffio's wife or Ossio Dispersimus) are ok, but not translation differences (while, say the Spanish version may say "Almacén de Defensa Contra las Artes Oscuras", it does not say "Defence Against the Dark Arts Storeroom") if we changed the article's name to "Defence Against the Dark Arts Storeroom", we'd be creating a new term when there's no need for it and that's not really our duty here (we cannot create canon, were here just to record it). I wouldn't oppose to a BTS note, however. -- Seth Cooperowl post! 22:51, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
Hello, there! It's been a while since we last talked! Answering your question, I am the one to blame. I thought "Secret Garden" was a conjectural, descriptive title, never used in the actual game, so I moved it to a less ambiguous name (given that its access is by the Rear Hall). Anyway, it seems like I was wrong, and I will restore the article accordingly. Thanks! -- Seth Cooperowl post! 01:28, January 15, 2012 (UTC)
