Talk:Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows/Archive 8

message: Harry and Neville were both born on the same day, as it says in the fifth Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I have memorized the entire series of the books so I should know. Please edit the page about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows where it says Neville was born on the 30th. They were both born on the 31st. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.227.123.79 (talk • contribs)  (Alika)
:Very sorry but this is incorrect.  While both boys were "born as the seventh month dies", according to Rowling (see her web site), Neville was born on the 30th and Harry on the 31st.  --T-dot (Talk | contribs) 20:55, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birthdates 

message: The Potions master may also need to be replaced. Slughorn was persuaded to be Potions master in part by thinking that being closer to Dumbledore (p.73, US hardcover) would make him safer during the dangerous times of the Second War. Dumbledore, of course, gets killed and Slughorn is especially shaken (p. 627, US hardcover) at the fact that Dumbledore's killer was his fellow professor, Snape. So it isn't clear to me that Slughorn will return. If he doesn't, Hogwarts will need a new Potions master, in addition to a new Transfiguration teacher and DADA teacher.

replies: text: That can only be classed as speculation, I'm afraid - no details of Slughorn's future have been confirmed either way (and we don't even know yet whetehr Hogwarts will actually re-open for Harry's seventh year). --Dave. 18:16, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Snape is NOT defense teacher; he teaches potions. Or did i forget something? Quatreryukami 20:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why yes, you are...  Snape took the role of Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher in book 6 - Dumbledore, with Harry, convinced Horace Slughorn to be the new Potions instructor.  --Reverend Loki 20:44, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And since Snape left, Hogwarts needs a new Defense teacher.....again.  Well, assuming it opens again.  Kochdude388 22:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I was trying to add some facts about Regulus Black, like the fact that Black is Zwarts, in one translation, and R.A.B. became R.A.Z., and also that Regulus had an Uncle Alphard and a Grandfather Arcturus, however the page is protected from editing!!! How come? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keepssouth (talk • contribs) 
:You'll see that at the top of the page is the template . There is currently a long dispute about a certain section on the page, and to prevent edit warring, the page has been locked so that no edits can be made by anyone other than an admin. If you want to request an edit to a protected page, you should insert  onto the talk page, but the information you're trying to insert is probably best kept to the R.A.B. article. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 18:00, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Right now this talk page is nearing 300 kb. Is the first really long section, with six subsections, okay for archiving? It seems to me that the discussion has moved to a new section. If so, I'd recommend moving that section to its own archive page, that alone has to be just about 2/3 of the bulk of this page. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 18:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Page archiving 

message: When I first heard when author of HP J.K. Rowling revealed that the last word of the book was "scar", I was quite curious. Does anybody have an idea about the ending? In other words, what will happen? I am very tempted to say that its possible that Harry Potter will actually lose his scar...thus showing the 'relief' or 'release of tension' in the book. - Tobias 3/5/07
:Hi Tobias, thanks for your thoughts, but please see the templates at the top of this page: Wikipedia is not a forum for discussing the potential content of Deathly Hallows. These talk pages are about improvements to the article. You might want to bring your idea to a fan forum. Best, Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 04:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The last word "Scar" 

message: Didnt the article somewhere mention that the book will be the size of the Encylclopedia of Brittanicca.
:No, and it's highly improbable too. Rowling has mentioned a few times that Order of the Phoenix will likely be the longest book of the series. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 05:04, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Putative last sections for the article page (mid and late July): "Pseudo-leaks and similar release of information in the run up to actual publication" and "Comparisons between speculation and the book-as-is." Jackiespeel 15:14, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page length etc 

message: I believe Dumbledore is dead; JKR has said so. Why is it then that many fans expect him to turn up in book 7? Why did JKR say that she "was having trouble with Dumbledore?" It has been suggested that Harry will merely interact with his portrait, but I think that there is more to it than that.
We do already know that Dumbledore is a Time Traveler - does he not say in PoA that he "always finds it best to retrace [his] steps?" This indicates some longtime experience (pun intended.) Further we have seen his magnificent watch - no ordinary timepiece, and no ordinary time turner either.
I submit to you that Dumbledore has indeed traveled to the future and seen his fate, that all we have seen in Book 6 has been arranged by him for Harry's benefit and that he willingly accepted his own death to protect Harry or save Harry's life. Further, Harry will meet Dumbledore in Book 7, possibly at Godric's Hollow, and will finally give him the explanations we all seek.

thread_title:  Dumbledore's Watch 

message: On 6 May, apparent vandalism resulted in most or all parts of this article being removed. Most parts were restored over the next few days, but the "Sales" section has, apparently, never been restored. I suggest that the "Sales" section be restored to this article, using the version in place as of 6 May (with, perhaps, some updates). Fragesteller (talk) 06:47, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Please feel free to boldly do so if you think it is the right thing to do - there are no article priority owners or anything here.  Just copy (from the "good" historical version edit box) and paste it back in (to the current version) or something in the correct spot.  Is it sufficiently up to date though?  There should be a reliable primary source for this sort of thing, and there certainly should have been one provided before.  It might have been legitimately deleted as unsourced or original research if there were no reliable references to defend it.  --T-dot ( Talk/contribs ) 01:27, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
