The length of time in the following character description is incorrect: Graham Montague – Slytherin Quidditch Chaser who became trapped inside a Vanishing Cabinet for six months.

Please change it to:

Graham Montague – Slytherin Quidditch Chaser who Fred and George Weasley trapped inside a Vanishing Cabinet for a day.

Pages 294-300 of Order of the Phoenix show that Montague was only trapped for one day before he was discovered jammed inside a toilet, and then freed once Draco Malfoy notified Professor Snape. 2601:CD:C001:358A:9192:961C:EC8E:D6DA (talk) 04:20, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please add these characters[edit]

I looked at this list and these characters were missing. Could you please add them?

Armando Dippet - headmaster of Hogwarts before Albus Dumbledore. Marcus Belby - Ravenclaw student 1 year above Harry Potter. Member of Horace Slughorn's Slug Club Gwenog Jones - Captain and Beater of the Holyhead Harpies. Hepzibah Smith - Owner of Slytherin's locket and Hufflepuff's cup before Lord Voldemort turned them into Horcruxes. Rodolphus Lestrange - Bellatrix Lestrange's husband and Death Eater Legokiwi (talk) 22:35, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

None of these are notable in the wider pantheon of Harry Potter. I think a couple were present, but were removed at some point. This list isn't to incldue every single character in the HP universe - only those who have influence over the plot. Chaheel Riens (talk) 22:37, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dippet, Hepzibah Smith and Rodolphus Lestrange have a significant impact on the plot. LeonardoSgu (talk) 15:16, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I want to edit the part that says hermione is in ravenclaw

Not done: Article currently reads "Hermione Granger – Muggle-born Gryffindor student in Harry's year and one of his best friends. Prefect and co-founder of Dumbledore's Army." Not sure what you're seeing Cannolis (talk) 05:49, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Names[edit]

A few names are missing such as: Regulus Arcturus Black - Brother of Sirius Black and reformed Death Eater. Killed by Lord Voldemorts inferi in a cave while trying to retrieve Lord Voldemort's horcrux. Eileen Prince: Mother of Severus Snape and wife to Tobias Snape. Tobias Snape: Muggle father of Severus Snape and husband to Eileen Prince. Piers Polkiss: Muggle friend of Dudley Dursley. Ernest Prang: Driver of the Knight Bus. Adalbert Waffling: Magical theoritician, writer of All About Magic. Dragomir Gorgovitch: Chaser for the Chudley Cannons, transferred to the Cannons for a "record fee" and broke the record for most quaffle drops in a season. Hepzibah Smith: Ex-owner of Slytherin's locket and Hufflepuff's cup. She was killed by Tom Marvolo Riddle and the two artifacts were stolen.

There are many more but people like Regulus Black and Hepzibah along with Severus Snapes parents have a significant impact upon the plot. LeonardoSgu (talk) 15:14, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi protected edit request[edit]

Grammar correction? Shouldn’t “a Harry Potter-related book” be changed to “Harry Potter-related books” covering all of them? 2603:9001:4100:D2E7:A5B8:A87D:4AD1:1C41 (talk) 21:48, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current phrasing means that it includes characters that have appeared in any Harry Potter-related book, not all of them and not necessarily many of them. —El Millo (talk) 23:10, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
