Snape's death

Some body please put some thing about the material about Snape's death in the following site<http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/02/03/npotter03.xml>

Snape's death

Well, in the seventh and final book: The Deathly Hallows, Snape was killed in Chapter...well, I forgot. If you want to know the exact details, just read it, okay? According to the book, Snape was killed by Nagini, Voldemort's "pet snake", by stranggling him to death. Harry was there to watch the whole thing but under his Invisibility Cloak. When Snape was breathing his last, Harry removed his Cloak. When Snape saw him, he motioned Harry to go near him. He extracted his memory and Harry caught it inside a bottle. Snape's last word to Harry were "Look at me" or something like that. It was also said in the book that 'Harry's green eyes met Snape's black ones and Snape breathed his last'. Sorry if those are not the exact words. Sorry also if I didn't put this article at <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/02/03/npotter03.xml>. If you guys still want to, just copy this article and put it there. If I had made some mistakes, please just inform me. Thanks! Happy Holidays guys....

New style

I have created a temporary new Main Page style here:User:Animagi Prongs/Main Page. What do you think? Could we possibly recreate the Main Page into my version? --Animagi/Prongs 21:26, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I think it's a big improvement.Angela^talk 21:35, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Angela! Can I ask you a favor? The sysops on HP Wiki are not very active on the site and it would be helpful for us active users to have some more administrators.. Could you give some of us administrator status, or are there too many admins now? --Animagi/Prongs 22:08, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

TheMain Page is editable by any logged in user, so you don't need to be an admin to change it. Feel free to put your version there.Angela^talk 22:42, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I pasted it in already. I just knoticed that another user asked for admin status for this wikia... so sorry about us asking twice.. --Animagi/Prongs 22:59, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Over-american useage

The US usage is being used far too much.Sorceror andCandy are used by far the most, it isn't even written in the books. whats the point in Americanising a series of books from an author that says she doesnt want them to.

Its probably just a mistake by people who don't know better. Help me out though, what's the British form of "candy"....?Mafalda Hopkirk 23:03, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

'Sweets' or 'Chocolate' (if it is made of chocolate). I personally don't grudge the Americanized versions however, I will continue to say 'Philosopher's Stone' =).

This is harrypotter.wikia.com. Not harrypotter.wikia.co.uk. It's a US-based site, and therefore should use US-based terminology from the US-versions of the books. IMHO, of course.MrItty 14:16, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Well...actually we use the British versions of everything and redirect/note the American version since the books are British. A 'dot-com' isn't really the US version, its just the not anywhere else version afterall. --DarkJedi613^(Talk) 21:51, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

All kinds of improvements

I'm an administrator at Halopedia, and I'm obsessed with standardization, categorization, etc. Anyway, since it hasn't been done yet, if it's okay (I'd hate for you guys to have to rollback so many edits if you don't want this), I want to make an infobox for spells, and put it on every page about a spell. Also, I think every spell should also be categorized as either a Charm (wingardium leviosa, folding your socks, etc.), jinxes (little tricks and pranks, like hanging someone upside down), hexes (bat bogey hex, things that when combined the right way will turn you into a giant slug), and curses (killing people, sectumsempra). I also have a bot that I could use on here to, for example, make spelling Britishized, fix other things here and there, etc... anyway, since the ways I want to contribute here involve doing all kinds of things and would cause nearly irreparable damage if you didn't like them, so I just wanna confirm that you guys are fine with some of the things I want to do. =D --NOTASTAFF₍₎⁽⁾ 03:39, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good. It might be a good idea to bring this up at the community portal though.John Reaves(talk) 04:05, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

At Halopedia we don't have a community portal, so... /me is kinda confused... what do I do? =S --NOTASTAFF₍₎⁽⁾ 04:15, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

You just need to leave a message atHarry Potter Wiki talk:Community portal.Angela (talk) 19:20, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Featured article

The featured article needs to be changed more often. Lord Voldemort has been featured for at least a month.Akwdb 01:30, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah! The Featured Article has been Hogwarts forway to long. :(Prissymis

You're right; the Featured Article was supposed to switch toblood purity on December 7.Oread 06:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes the article was Snape for over at least 2 weeks. P€|\|δ\/!|\|$£@|\|₁⁰₁ 03:27, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Aditional information for movie 3

Rowling has stated that the writers, under no consulation from her, placed clues in movie 3 that hinted at things in book 7. She continued to state that after fans read book 7 they will think that the clues in movie 3 were done intentionally. I would love to see what these clues are in movie 3 and how they are linked to book 7.

So? We have all already read book 7. One person I know claims to have read book 8¹. Somebody else read book 11². another person claimed to have read book 27³.

1: of the history of middle earth
2: of the wheel of time
3: They where lying, that time...

How do you source the Daily Prophet papers that came out.Chudley Cannons needs this.

Featured Article Image

Some hillarious person recently changed the Featured Article image. I can't figure out how to change it.Hufflepuff Half-Giant 06:41, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Lol, hope you liked the changes to your user page though.Luna fan 06:43, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Layout

I have found a problem with the Layout. Beneath the selected picture on the left column the background is blue. 16:33, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

The background of that entire column is blue...unless I'm not getting what you're describing. --DarkJedi613^(Talk) 17:29, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

The bottom of the green column 18:41, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Thats weird. My browser must be messed up. I went to a friends house and it looks all right here 21:14, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I was confused. I checked all the colors and they're OK. Good to know though. :) --DarkJedi613^(Talk) 21:18, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I figured it out. Mozilla Firefox shows the colors more vividly and you can tell. In IE (which most people use) it looks fine 01:33, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

It looks fine for me in Mozilla Firefox. I'm not sure... --DarkJedi613^(Talk) 04:16, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Did You Know

I think there's vandilism in the 'did you know' section. "... that Hogwarts students were allowed to swear loudly if the Venomous Tentacula attempted to strangle them?"

I don't believe it is. I placed it there (in the template) after reading it in the article, and I believe it is mentioned in Half-Blood Prince. I will check the source though now that you have mentioned it. It's not vandalism, it may just be some incorrect info. -Cavalier One^{(Wizarding Wireless Network)} 20:25, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

It is inHalf-blood Prince. I checked. 22:36, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Squibs can see dementors!

Misdirected Main Page Link

I note that the ORDER that "will be released" in Australia is of course the film (they got the book years ago,like the rest of the world) but the link from the main page goes to the article on the book.--L.E./12.144.5.2 02:14, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Fixed, and thanks for pointing it out! -Cavalier One^{(Wizarding Wireless Network)} 14:31, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

but the movie came out here at the same time as everwhere else too.Me_Potter_Fan 06:06, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I believe it is reference to the DVD release, not the actual release of the film. -Cavalier One^{(Wizarding Wireless Network)} 08:31, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

'Harry Potter Series' Link

I just wanted to say, to make the section look more exciting I could put the pictures of each of the books there linking to their respective pages instead of just having the titles there. Wht do you guys think? ~BellaSwan 00:29, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Wookiepedia has something like that... 00:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I like this idea...I think it might be really good on the main page.-- 22:28, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

If you post a source and a clip we'll put it up no problem. --DarkJedi613^(Talk) 23:16, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Here's anarticle from CNN. It's an 800-word short story that Jo penned for a charity auction. But there's no information on the plot of that story available at this time. -Starstuff 23:35, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

There is information on the plot info. Can you add to the news: It will take palce before harry was born, and thaat it will revolve around the mauders. If you can also link the news to the newHarry Potter Prequel page I createdChaosMaster16 11:23, 30 May 2008 (UTC) ChaosMaster16

Go into your Adblock Plus preferences and add the following two rules (by click "Add filter..."):

wikia.com#DIV(id=adSpace1)

That should remove the big empty spaces. --DarkJedi613^(Talk) 20:15, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

I have many, many ideas for the Did You Know section. If you want some, let me know.KH 22:14, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
