Re: Admin welcome
Thanks! I appreciate it, it's good to be on-board. Oh, and if you have a moment, could you review the Featured articles nominations and possibly weigh in on some of them? I recently got the process started up again and I'd like to get some people to vote on the nominations that have been made. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:39, January 14, 2013 (UTC)
RE:Bureaucrat
You flatter me, really. If it is in the best interest of the wiki, I'd gladly accept nomination. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 20:18, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
Re: Other featured content
You're completely right, it could all use a good lookover. I was hoping to clear out some of the backlog on the Featured articles stuff first, and then maybe move on to that. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:00, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
Sources
Hi. Sorry to bother you, but would I be able to use this page as a source for renaming Expulso to "Expulso Spell"? --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 23:54, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
- Hm... it should work. Do you mean you can't click on it, or just that it doesn't seem to lead anywhere? Either way, here's the site: http://www.gamesover.com/HP7/level11.htm, in case you still can't get the link to work so you can copy and paste it into your search bar. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 00:00, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
- That's odd... anyways, it's pretty much just a video game guide for the seventh video game, with a screenshot calling Expulso the "Expulso Spell"; I wouldn't have asked first, but as it wasn't an official source I wasn't sure if we could use it or not. By the way, your name isn't turning up orange as it should when an admin edits, and sorry if I sounded rude in my edit note on the Boggart page. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 00:10, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
Videos and references issue
This was an issue that came up a while back when Wikia added in the "Media galleries" feature. As Hunnie Bunn indicated, if you find any others like that, you can just change "widths" to "width" and it should solve the problem. Most of them have already been taken care of, but there may still be one or two here or there that have the issue. ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:58, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
Issues
Hi. Sorry to keep bothering you. But I had two questions.
- Would it be all right if I change the "their" in your last message to Professor Tofty to "his", as it's just one talk page?
- I see you opened up a vote for Seth Cooper to be a bureaucrat; am I allowed to vote?
Thanks --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 00:42, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
Re: Expulso Spell and Orange
The link loaded okay for me, however, given that this is an unofficial gameplay and strategy site, I can't endorse a change in the spell name based simply on the information of this site. And as for your name not appearing in orange, I can see it in orange on the Recent Changes, but not the Recent Wiki Activity. ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:57, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
Avery Jr.
I wonder which of the Death Eater in 4 film was Avery?
HP on the Web
Hello! How would you feel about taking part of the responsibility for the Harry Potter Wiki Twitter (@Official_HPWiki) and Facebook? We are looking for someone or some people who would be interested in maintaining the accounts! We usually like to update daily, but we also like to have fun with it! I am contacting you because you seem pretty active on this wiki, so if you are interested in learning more, please let me know! If you are not interested, but can think of other users that would be and would maintain the accounts regularly, please let me know as well, thanks!

Possibly same character
Hello Nick O'Demus I noticed that: Unidentified Death Eater (III) and Unidentified Male Death Eater (III) has the same costume .If it's the same character then we're on this Wiki progressed a further .Talk it over with the other Admins .
Non-beings as creatures.
Hope you don't mind me disagreeing with you, but I am not sure that categorizing "non-beings" as "creatures" is correct. Unless you define "non-beings" as "other-than-beings", it is logically contradictory. MinorStoop 13:13, January 22, 2013 (UTC)
Linking
Hello Nick O'Demus. I've recently opened a new forum, which you can find here. I would appreciate your valuable input on this matter. Thanks. --Hunnie Bunn (Owl me!) 21:01, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Hello <insert name here>. My name is Hunnie Bunn, and I am a rollback user on the Harry Potter Wiki. I first began editing on this wiki in February of 2012, and have since acquainted myself with a number of the friendly and polite contributors here, as well as the rules and regulations of the wiki.
I created the Potter-Dictionary Wiki on 24 October, 2012 and am an administrator and bureaucrat there. I also adopted the Potterpedia Wiki on 23 September, 2012, and am an admin/bureaucrat on there as well. These wikis provide valuable information, but are in desperate need of contributors; if you possess any of the seven Harry Potter novels and are willing to contribute, please help.
Users may notice that prior to today, I was a Hufflepuff on Pottermore, under the username HexFlame1226. However, after posting the comment
"Thanks for helping."
after a contributor helped me find a Peppermint Toad, the Pottermore team decided to infinitely ban my account. Nonetheless, I've found a new start under the username MoonEcho9260, and I am now a Slytherin. Feel free to add me as a friend regardless of your House, and if you want to send a duel request you may (although it would be appreciated if you wait until I find Curses and Counter-Curses in the Library.
That seems to be all... if you need verification for a statement, I own the first five films and all seven books (albeit only the American version of the sixth book) so feel free to ask.
Never mind, it turns out I wasn't bullying him after all. Sorry to bother.
Reading Club
However, ProfessorTofty and I were thinking of starting a Reading Club (or so, I asked and Professor Tofty said it was worth considering). Would you be interested in participating?| Hunnie Bunn | |

RE:RE:Linking and Reading Club
Sorry it took so long to respond, my computer kept on shutting itself down before I realized it needed charging... As toward the linking matter, I think perhaps it would be best to expand the two wikis before beginning to link this one to them, as this one is so large by comparison. Toward the reading club, though - we look forward to seeing you there, and it should be good fun. --Hunnie Bunn (Owl me!) 12:59, February 1, 2013 (UTC)
RE:Pottermore
Hi, thank you. I've just accepted. Nice to know another Hufflepuff from here on Pottermore. I hope they don't need too long to go on with the book. This waiting is annoying. Harry granger Talk contribs 16:53, February 1, 2013 (UTC)
Template:Quidditch Tournament infobox
Sorry for messing up the template. That was not my intention. I confused this wiki with another and made and saved the change here instead in the other wiki. Sorry again for the trouble. Harry granger Talk contribs 22:03, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

Okay then, forget harpies. I'm Belac Reteet, by the way. Hey, I wanted to tell you something. We're having a debate on the Horcrux Talk Page about whether horcruxes count as living things or mere objects. We could use more people, so I thought I'd let you know.

hi why did you delete that Ellie Samantha page?
I know Ellie Samantha in real life and the casting director of Harry Potter told her she was really close to getting the part, he said if Helena hadn't got it she would.
Susan Bones
No affence (offence? offense? ofence? a fence?), but shouldn't we be using the film image, even if it is outdated, because films are second tier canon and video games are third tier? Sorry to bother. --Don't forget: Elvendork! (It's unisex!) 23:21, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

Chat
If you have a moment, could I talk to you on chat? Whenever you have the chance is fine. I'm going to be on and off throughout this morning (and probably for at least fifteen minutes from the posting of this message), so if you get this, just holler, and we can talk. Otherwise, just if we see each other on and editing at the same time. ProfessorTofty (talk) 11:37, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. Some of those do look vaguely familiar, and I'll certainly keep my eyes open for them. ProfessorTofty (talk) 12:07, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
Original Research
Hi Nick. I saw your message on this thriving discussion about using anything other than canon to apply to canon. Does this therefore apply to dates perceived from mathematics (i. e. dates students were born or when they graduated from Hogwarts, etc.) and does that mean that Jelly-Legs Jinx should be unmerged from Jelly-Legs Curse? Or Gemino Curse (Doubling Charm) from Geminio? Finite Incantatem from General Counter-Spell? Admittedly, I did all of the above merges, but it was with little to no opposition. Shouldn't I have? Should all speculation be removed? (PS, Sorry if I come across as standoffish or whatnot, but I'm being a bit paranoid here). Cheers, Hunnie Bunn! 13:26, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
Mortals
Hey Nick O'Demus. I'm Belac Reteet. Just wanted to ask if you're the one who deleted my mortals category page. Catch ya later!belacreteet (talk) 18:07, March 10, 2013 (UTC) Sorry Nick, it turns out I was wrong - it was ProfessorTofty after all. Please disregard these messages. --Hunnie Bunn! 18:15, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
Killed by categories
Not having categories of only one article makes sense, but there are already quite a few that fit that case in Category:Individuals by killer. Just letting you know so you can delete those. --SnorlaxMonster 06:59, March 13, 2013 (UTC)
Quote of the Week
Thank you for taking care of adding the recent additions to the archive. I wasn't familiar with how to get to it. Since they've been placed there now, I'm going to go ahead and remove them from the nominations page, so they're not cluttering it up anymore. ProfessorTofty (talk) 18:23, March 13, 2013 (UTC)
actors category
So recently it came out from a direct source that one of the actors we had listed for an actor in the movie was wrong (though I wish I could have seen the sources I had listed before it was deleted, because I know I wouldn't have created a page on a random hunch unless I had seen it on another website >.<) but I decided to maybe go through and double check sourcing on all our real world actors and such, when I noticed that an anon recently made some new categories within the actor real world category specifiying nationality, like "American actors real world". So two questions, is this something we should keep, and personally I think if we do, so to not be redundant, I could go through and make sure it follows a cateogory tier, so like if it's an american actor, they only have that category and not the actors category as well, what do you think?

Thanks for fixing up the "Quidditch teams with robes" thing. And yes, I'd defnitely be up for a discussion of standards regarding category notability-- I do agree that it's seemed like it's gotten a bit out of control lately. ProfessorTofty (talk) 14:43, March 16, 2013 (UTC)
RE:Actors references
Oh, boy. What to do: categorically remove the possibly misleading statements, or should we try to find additional references that confirm his participation in the film? -- Seth Cooper owl post! 14:08, March 21, 2013 (UTC)
