Not enough content was merged to this page
[edit]When List of supporting Harry Potter characters was merged here, not enough content was merged. For some characters, such as Vernon Dursley, the description here is far too short (261 words on that page, now only 18 words). Kk.urban (talk) 16:29, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
Resurrection Stone redirects to the non-fictional object.
[edit]Please make it redirect to Magical_objects_in_Harry_Potter#Resurrection_Stone 103.236.115.80 (talk) 09:53, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Surname, First Name format
[edit]Hello! I'm wondering whether we could format the list with a Surname, First Name model. This was proposed back in 2007 and at least one editor was supportive (the proposal is a little ways down the post).
Here's how it would look:
- Bones, Amelia – Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic, and aunt of Susan Bones. Killed by Voldemort.
- Bones, Susan – Hufflepuff student in Harry's year and member of Dumbledore's Army.
- Boot, Terry – Ravenclaw student in Harry's year and member of Dumbledore's Army.
- Brown, Lavender – Gryffindor student in Harry's year and member of Dumbledore's Army.
I just think it looks a lot nicer and makes more logical sense in a list organized by surname. Wafflewombat (talk) 04:04, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
Merge proposal
[edit]Hello! I propose merging Dumbledore's Army into List of Harry Potter characters. The DA page has barely any real-world context and is therefore, I believe, lacking in notability. Other than the Synopsis section, the DA page is basically just a list of characters. I think it could be comfortably merged, although some of the longer character descriptions, such as Cho Chang, might benefit from being trimmed slightly so they are closer in length to the other character descriptions on List of Harry Potter characters.
Please offer your thoughts! Wafflewombat (talk) 00:55, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
Update: I have performed the merge. Wafflewombat (talk) 21:18, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
Bold text
[edit]Hello. I wanted to offer the idea of using bold text for names listed on the page. I suggested this previously, and had a conversation about it with Facu-el Millo. I'm curious what others think. It's not the biggest deal, but I do think it improves readability of the page and makes it easier to navigate, especially as the page expands. I added the bold text to a few entries so you can see what it looks like. Check out this revision. Scroll down past the edits to the heading Revision as of 04:43, 19 August 2024. There, you'll see how the bolded names look. Please let me know your thoughts. Wafflewombat (talk) 04:58, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
