<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0;">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|48px|alt=|link=]]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article [[:Harry Potter (TV show)]] is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]].

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

There is a lot of information duplication between this article and [[JK Rowling]] article. Perhaps we could examine both articles to determine which information belongs here and which information belongs on her page. I was thinking that the beginning of the origins section, with the information about the girl at Bloomsbury, would be better at her page, while a lot of the information about the books and movies would be better here.

== Changes in Overview and Intro ==

==[[SenLinYu]]==

I tried to tighten up the prose in the overview a bit. Anybody have any problems with the changes? I removed a lot of adjectives and commas. They weren't needed and made the overview difficult to read.

I just created an article for [[SenLinYu]], the author of the Harry Potter fan fiction ''Manacled''. Any help with expansion would be appreciated. [[User:Thriley|Thriley]] ([[User talk:Thriley|talk]]) 18:16, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

The reference to Harry's defeat of Voldemort being met with "fear" confused me. I can't recall any mention of this off the top of my head. Correct me if I'm wrong. Also, it seems strange following the description of the joyous wizards the next day.

I also removed the reference to Harry's age on the night of Voldemort's defeat, as I feel "infant" is sufficient.

Lastly, I didn't feel that the reference to Harry surviving where so many others had died was entirely necessary. That information is implied in the preceding sentences, and it makes that particular sentence long and awkward.

== Semi-protected edit request on 28 August 2025 ==

I also made some pretty obvious changes to the Intro, mostly dealing with the prose and punctuation. I'm trying to make it easier to read without removing critical information. What do you guys think about adding "toys" or "merchandise" to the list of items spawned by the series (in the first paragraph.) Are ther lists for those? I just couldn't find a way to keep the "age demographic" clause in there - it's just too awkward. I'm wondering about the Steve King quote in the intro. Is it needed, considering the space he has later in the article? The mystery aspect of the story can be slipped in elsewhere.--[[User:AlmenCrosse|AlmenCrosse]] 05:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

==Why is Tolkien being singled out?==

to "https://jw-webmagazine.com/tips/harry-potter-studio-tour-tokyo/"

There used to be a whole collection of analogous works on this page, giving equal time to any number of works Rowling may or may not have "ripped off." Now there's only Tolkien. What's so special about Tolkien that singles his work out for protection above all other potential inspirations? I know for a fact that Tolkien isn't the only "inspiration" to make into the media; Ursula K Le Guin has personally complained about the similarities between Harry Potter and her Earthsea trilogy (translation: she wishes her works sold as well), and CS Lewis has been ever-present ever since Rowling let slip she read his books as a child. If you're going to compare her works to those of other authors, make sure there's a specific and historically valid case to be made (comparing Rowling's works to those of CS Lewis, whom Rowling openly acknowledges as a major inspiration, would be more valid than comparing her works to those of Tolkien, whom she doesn't); otherwise one comparison is as good as any other. Tolkien had magic mirrors, but so did Snow White. Tolkien had giant spiders, but then so did Tintin. Tolkien had black, robed figures of death, but then so did every mediaeval cathedral afflicted by the plague. You may claim that what singles Tolkien out among her potential inspirations is that the number of concordances between his works and Rowling's is too great to be coincidental. But back when the "analogous works" list was part of this article, I specifically included an American series by John Bellairs, (The "Lewis Barnaveldt" series) which I am absolutely certain Rowling has never heard of, but which contained far more commonalities with her works than anything by Tolkien. There's no point giving pride of place to one particular author just because he's "special." [[User:Serendipodous|Serendipodous]] 21:58, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

because the original link is dead.

:I think we need to be carful of [[WP:OR|original research]] here as well. Stating a commonality of fairy tale and fantasy theams is one thing but if we go too deep in comparing to the point that it could be called litrary chriticism. Then we need to start providing sources. [[User:Dalf|Dalf]] | [[User talk:Dalf|Talk]] 01:20, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

:{{done}}<!-- Template:ESp --> Title updated also. [[User:LizardJr8|LizardJr8]] ([[User talk:LizardJr8|talk]]) 14:39, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

I've removed the Tolkien references and shifted them over to a new page [[Works analogous to Harry Potter]], which is still unfinished but is almost complete. [[User:Serendipodous|Serendipodous]] 10:25, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I deleted the following text from the [[Harry Potter#Overview|"Overview"]] section: Unlike the fantasy world of [[Narnia]], It does contain a small similarity to [[Middle-earth]], because of the use of [[wizards]] in a term of mythical beings, and that profeser Dumbledore showes striking resemblence to [[Gandalf]], they are also both the most powerfull and wizest [[wizards]] of their novel . The word Dumbledore is also used in Middle Earth as a type of small moth that [[Gandalf]] talks to while being saved by the eagles in the book [[the hobbit]].

This sounds like ramblings to me and definately doesn't belong in an overview of the books at hand. The [[Narnia]] idea isn't even completed. If any content of that snippet is necessary, [[Works analogous to Harry Potter]] would be the place to put it. -[[User:Phi*n!x|Phi*n!x]] 16:27, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

There's nothing I despise more than people who obviously don't speak English as their first language who think they can edit an English language article. The original phrase was "Unlike the fantasy worlds of [[Narnia]] and [[Middle-Earth]], the world of ''Harry Potter'' exists alongside ours." I think this point is valid (I would; I wrote it) and I've re-instated it. [[User:Serendipodous|Serendipodous]] 17:21, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

:I would just like to point out that JK Rowling said in an interview that she HAS read both [[The Hobbit]] and [[The Lord of the Rings]] trilogy, and she has addressed the influences of Tolkien's books on her work. I distinctly remember it because she said something along the lines of "I read The Hobbit as a child. I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy years later when I was an adult", and then she said something about her humour in Harry Potter being funnier than Tolkien's. Also, check out any fan site of HP and you will find lists as long as your arm describing the uncanny similarities between HP and LOTR. JJ

== Chick Publication ==

I'm not so sure that the Chick Publication image should have the privledge of being on this page. I do not think it accurately portrays the majority of fundamentalists Christians view of H.P. (at least I hope not). Chick publications has been criticized in the past for its overly simplistic view of things, and thus I do not think that this image is at all characteristic of the debate that has gone on over what effect H.P. has on children. Putting this image here is basically implying that any opposition to Harry Potter is as silly and childish as the Chick Publication. (Incidentally, I myself do enjoy the books, but I do not so flippantly disregard the debate over this issue). -- [[User:Sjmcfarland]] [[user_talk:Sjmcfarland|talk]]

:I do ''not'' agree. I am the one who uploaded and placed that image on the database/page. The section makes particular mention of the Chick Publication strip. According to Wik policy, an image can be used to illustrate:

:*the scene depicted, or

:*an important aspect of the copyrighted character(s) or group(s), which is depicted on the excerpted scene in question.

:Both uses apply here. The fact that it really does ''not'' "accurately portrays the majority of fundamentalists Christians view of H.P." ''is the whole point.'' The image is appropriate and I see no valid reason for it to be removed. -- [[User:Jason Palpatine|Jason Palpatine]] 01:11, 15 July 2006 (UTC) ([[user_talk:Jason Palpatine|speak your mind]] | [[Special:contributions/Jason Palpatine|contributions]])

Sounds acceptable to me. Perhaps a little rewording in that section would be necessary then, because I would imagine that some if not most of people reading that particular section would come to the conclusion that the Chick publication demonstrates the "norm" for a Christian reaction to Harry Potter. -- [[User:Sjmcfarland]] [[user_talk:Sjmcfarland|talk]]

== Speculative nature tag ==

The template {{tl|future book}} was added to this page about a week ago; I've removed it now pending further discussion. Looking through the article, I think a good job has been done for the most part in keeping speculation and conjecture about book seven out of the article. If there's one or two sections that do contain information of this nature, we should probably tag those section(s) individually, rather than putting a big tag at the top of the article. Any thoughts? [[User:EWS23|<font color="green">'''EWS23'''</font>]] ([[User talk:EWS23|Leave me a message!]]) 21:11, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

:Add the template to the "Future" section and keep it out of the rest of the article, along with keeping out any information about the future! [[User:Brianjd|Brian]] [[User talk:Brianjd|Jason]] [[Special:Contributions/Brianjd|Drake]] 09:06, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

== Lifespans of Magical Folk ==

Is Dumbledore really 152 years old when he (supposedly) dies (if the ''Half-Blood Prince'' really happened in '96-'97)? Do they really get that old. So how could Dumbledore have "sweeping auburn hair" (as described in the ''Chamber of Secrets'') in 1942 when he was 97 years-old? I dunno, maybe it's just like that in the magical world, but it leaves me puzzled.[[User:The Runescape Junkie|The Runescape Junkie]] 02:22, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

::This debate really belongs in [[Wizarding world]]. [[User:Serendipodous|Serendipodous]] 07:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

:::I think it was a question not a debate. The answer is yes they live to be around 150 I could dig up a link to JKRs offical site where she explaines it but its 2:45 am and I am going ot bed in a sec. Basically 150 is to the wizarding world as mid to late 90's is to us. So in those terms when DD was 97 it woudl be likes a muggle who was only 63 or 64 yeras old. Hope that helps. [[User:Dalf|Dalf]] | [[User talk:Dalf|Talk]] 09:46, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

::::I wonder if Dumbledore also partook of a little of his buddy [[Nicholas Flamel]]'s [[Philosopher's stone]] brew from time to time, to avoid aging too rapidly ... --[[User:T-dot|T-dot]] 09:54, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

:::::Dunno, that bit always confused me because DD seems to imply that it does not so much stop ageing as keep you alive (though stopping ageing is implied) but he does imply that Flamel will be dieing shortly. Perhaps as soon as he stops taking it, so my imprssion is that you either keep taking it at whatever the interval is or you get no effect at all and as soon as you stop taking it, it's as if you never had. Granted all of that is [[WO:OR|OR]] on my part but that is how I read it (though it seems kinda silly). [[User:Dalf|Dalf]] | [[User talk:Dalf|Talk]] 10:06, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

==The elder Riddles==

I already asked this 0n the "House of Gaunt" discussion site, but I want to repeat it here, since I think it's more likely someone sees it here. On Voldemort's family tree as well as on the Gaunt site, his muggle grandparents are called Thomas and Mary Riddle. My question: Is there anything other than the gravestone in the movie to confirm this as canon? Do we know anytthing about JKR giving them this information? Because I hesistate to see this as canon, just because it was in the movie. [[User:Neville Longbottom|Neville Longbottom]] 21:47, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

:I would assume that there are a multitude of fan sites with this particular information. I guess I'm a nice guy, because I went and researched it.

:J.K Rowling had indeed discussed this information with the producers of the film in question.[[User:Sod aries|Sod Aries]] 18:14, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

:: I know that she has discussed a lot of information with them, but I haven't seen anything regarding this gravestone. I looked at both the Leaky Cauldron and mugglenet for it and didn't find anything, that's why I asked. The real problem I have with using this information as canon is, that their first was some false information on it. They made Thomas and Mary Riddle into Voldemort's parents and made Tom Riddle senior way too young. Then (after fans realized this and complained) they had to photoshop the inscription of the gravestone to make it fit with actual canon. [[User:Neville Longbottom|Neville Longbottom]] 10:56, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

== Too American ==

I found some parts of this page quite annoying, in particular the 'midnight realease' of the books. Perhaps the books were released at midnight in the US but they were not released at midnight everywhere else. Could this error please be changed.1234

:That's not strictly true - I know of several bookshops in London at least that started selling at midnight.--[[User:Libatius|Libatius]] 16:18, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

:: They had night releases in Germany as well. Granted, it wasn't midnight but 1am, since we had to wait until it was midnight in Britain to get the book. But still. [[User:Neville Longbottom|Neville Longbottom]] 12:09, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

::: In the UK many bookshops opened at Midnight. I know that all Borders stores did for example and most cities have one. [[User:Mrjeff|Mrjeff]] 13:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

::::[[Ottakar's]] and [[WH Smiths]] did too, in my town in the UK. [[User:Skittle|Skittle]] 22:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== Translated more than any other? ==

I have a problem with this claim in the lead: "...translated into 47 languages, more than any other single book except the Bible, Book of Mormon and the Koran". The only citation given appears to be a short newspaper article. I find it hard to believe that Potter has been translated into more languages than any historical literary classic.

[[User:Rain74|Rain74]] 00:09, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

:You'd be surprised. [[User:Michaelritchie200|Michaelritchie200]] 14:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

=="The last word"==

JK Rowling has said that this will be "scar".

It is jumping to conclusions that this will be in connection with HP himself. There might well be a new "conflict initiated." [[User:Jackiespeel|Jackiespeel]] 18:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

==McGonagall?==

Does Professor McGonagall count as a recurring character? Maybe the article's long enough already, but she seems like an important part of the series. [[User:Athena42|Athena42]] 00:41, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

:I'd say she is decently important, but she isn't necessarily a crucial part of the development of the series. Perhaps when the seventh book comes out we'll see how much she's really involved in it. In order to make that list, it should mean that the character has made significant contributions to the advancement of the series itself. While she does seem to be getting there, as apparent in the last book, I'm not quite sure it's appropriate to list her as one of the "main" characters. Would be glad to hear any other opinions... [[User:Sam Weber|Sam Weber]] 03:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh nvm someone added her [[User:Athena42|Athena42]] 21:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

==Better sourcing is available==

The sourcing of a lot of things in this article (other than the news stuff) is based on fan sites. This is acceptable, I guess if nothing else is available, but over the past few years a lot of serious scholarly papers have been written about the cultural and literary impact of Harry Potter. For instance, [http://doi.contentdirections.com/mr/greenwood.jsp?doi=10.1336/0313320675 this] is a good compilation of scholarly articles on the Harry Potter phenomenon, and a [http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Harry+Potter&hl=en&lr=&btnG=Search Google Scholar] search turns up many more. Hence, this article fails WP:RS, and thus Good Article criteria 2c. [[User:Borisblue|Borisblue]] 14:37, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

"The Hogwarts Express: The scarlet old-fashioned steam locomotive that is the only means by which a wizard in training can reach Hogwarts. It departs from Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station, London."

<br>

<br>

Technically its not the only way a wizard in training can reach Hogwarts because Ron and Harry did in fact reach hogwarts by a flying car... So maybe it should be reworded to say something a little bit better than that. Or maybe its okay the way it is. Just wondering what everyone else thinks. --[[User:LocalBandAid02|LocalBandAid02]] 21:47, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
