Talk:Dumbledore's Army

message: I saw the film last night, and her character does appear in "Deathly Hallows." She is NOT the girl who is attacked and killed by Fenrir. That character is unnamed. 174.99.62.175 (talk) 04:23, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There is absolutely gigantic discussion on HP Wiki on whether Lavender has been killed or not. To quote preface of that page “If you wish to weigh an opinion on the subject of Lavender Brown's death, please take a few moments first to read through the many, many discussions on this issue already in the talk page archive. Before starting any new topics about this, please consider whether or not it would really add anything new to the debate, or whether it would simply be repeating what has already been discussed. Thank you.” Ceplm (talk) 09:59, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Lavender Brown

message: Okay, next to some people's names under the list of members, it mentions that some of them "served in battle".  Wouldn't something else be appropriate?  Served in battle sounds like they were in the military or sounds like they fought in a war.  According to what I remember, they didn't have any MAJOR battles or anything.  Wouldn't something like "active in combat" be better?
:I think "Battle" is appropriate, as it refers to the "Battle of Hogwarts" where they fought against the Death Eaters. Almost all DA members were present to fight.

thread_title: Served in Battle?

message: The real name is Defense Association or something alike, not Dumbledore's Army. hello!
*Incorrect! Defense Association was an idea for the name, but after Ginevra suggested Dumbledore's Army, it became the official name, and Hermione recorded it at the top of that sheet with all their names. Supersaiyanplough|(talk) 04:24, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: * Cho Chang suggested the name "Defense Association" and the abbreviations "D.A.," so they can talk about the secret organization in public without blowing the whole secret to others. Ginny liked "D.A." but suggested "Dumbledore's Army" instead to mock the Ministry of Magic, who thought Dumbledore was building up an army.

thread_title:  Wrong Name 

message: In the section where it remarks Dumbledore rescued Harry by framing himself, then escaping the Aurors; are we first sure that these could be called Aurors, given that Cornelius Fudge was at that point adamant no Dark Forces remained active? Furthermore, should it be acknowledged that one of these, Kingsley Shacklebolt is a member of the Order of the Phoenix and assisted Dumbledore - by surreptitiously modifying Edgecombe's memory?
*While that may be the case, the Ministry is still training Aurors, as can be seen by Tonks, who had only completed the training the year previous to OoTP. - Supersaiyanplough|(talk) 11:05, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pronuciation 

message: The article mentions the trailer showing her alongside members of the Inquisitorial Squad, and a parenthetical rebuttal mentions that it appears as if Draco Malfoy is holding her by the back of her cloak. According to this particular still photograph from the movie, it's quite clear that Draco is holding her by the back of her cloak. This means that Cho is not responsible for willingly betraying the D.A., and the paranthetical rebuttal statement is also unnecessary. Therefore, I am removing both the betrayal statement and its rebuttal. --Deathphoenix ʕ 18:31, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, she gave them up under the influence of Veritaserum. But if that should be considered betrayal...

It's really good but I think they missed out a part, Harry was supposed to tell Ron "I love Hermione as a friend, I thought you knew that" in their fight. Why didn't it say that?!?! I realise Dobby's death was a main part in the book but why, why, why?!?! I love Dobby to pieces and they had to go and kill him didn't they. I despise Belatrix more than anything else in the world. Stupid Mrs. Malfoy's sister.

message: It seems to me that the primary purpose of the DA was to learn Defence Against the Dark Arts, because Umbridge refused to teach it. It was only secondary that they were secret and standing up to Umbridge's regime. Therefore I propose to reverse the two sentences in the lede to reflect their primary purpose. Elizium23 (talk) 23:35, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reversing the lede 

message: I changed the subsection title “Ginny Weasley” to “Ginevra Weasley” in hopes that it would get rid of the redirect of “Ginny Weasley” to said subsection. When that was unsuccessful, I reverted the edit. This was so that I could then create a separate article on Ginny. I really want Ginny to have her own page in Wikipedia, as many others have asked for. I know Wikipedia is not a fanpage, but is inexcusable that of the following languages - Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, Icelandic, and Swedish - English Wikipedia should have the fewest individual Harry Potter characters with their own pages (lists of characters, such as Order of the Phoenix, don't count); only 8 in English, but 11 in Icelandic, about 70 in Estonian,.... It is also inexcusable that there should be only 8 individual HP characters with their own pages, but 9 for Animal Farm, 42 for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 10 for Hamlet, 17 for Midsummer Night's Dream 10 for Romeo and Juliet, and 9 for Twelfth Night (the Shakespeares are each less than half the length of Sorcerer's Stone, making the existence of large numbers of pages on individual characters harder to justify; and Twelfth Night is not nearly as influential as the other Shakespeares I just mentioned). (Not that I dislike Shakespeare; I am actually a big fan of him.)
How do I get rid of the the redirect of “Ginny Weasley” to “Dumbledore's Army” so that I can launch a separate article on her? I have already constructed much of such an article.--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 09:41, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

message: The infobox currently claims that the leader of the DA is 'room of requirement' and that the location is Harry, Neville, Ginny, and Luna. They are the correct way round in the source though, and I can't work out why they're not like that on the actual article (It's wrong in both FF22 and IE10). I've played around with the infobox and the only way I can get them to appear correctly in the article is to put them the wrong way round in the source, I'm therefore going to switch them round as a temporary fix, but could someone else have a play with it and work out why it isn't displaying properly.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I think a strong case exists to have a separate and independent page for Ginny Weasley. She is not "just another character" within Dumbledore's Army like say, Padma Patil, Seamus Finnigan, or Susan Bones. She is Harry's wife, part of the main sextet along with Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville and Luna, part of the "Big Seven" as J.K. Rowling outlined a few years back, as well as being a main character in Cursed Child. Neville and Luna should probably also get separate pages too. Some information on her can be provided here, but there should still be a link to a more detailed page.
Additionally, plenty of other articles in other languages have a separate page for her, below are some examples:

replies: text: As comes up a lot during these kinds of discussion, that is all true in-universe. but notability for fictional elements requires significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Most sources I can find cover her primarily as the wife of Harry Potter or Ron's sister. These issues make it difficult to make a well-sourced article based in the real-world (as Wikipedia requires when Wikipedia:Writing about fiction). Even Harry Potter (character) ran into this problem, and was de-listed as a good article. menaechmi (talk) 23:43, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: There was a discussion regarding notability of Harry Potter characters in the real world, and there is little or no deep coverage of neither Ginny nor Neville or Luna, that's why only 8 characters kept individual articles. --LoЯd ۞pεth 17:55, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
