The citations for Chamber of Secrets chapters are showing up with "I like cheese" after them. I can't quite figure out how to change this vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.23.69.135 (talk) 06:19, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
What's the point of having this article called "List of places in the Harry Potter books" and then having a section called "Muggle locations used in the Harry Potter films"? 65.92.204.139 04:07, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
DarkMark.com is not a reliable source for verification on whether this is a school or not. According to Salem witch trials: "In the fourth book of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, a group of 'middle-aged American witches' are observed by Harry as sitting under a banner reading 'The Salem Witch's Institute' at the Quidditch World Cup. This is a probable reference to the Salem trials." If the witches were middle-aged, they would hardly be at school; the reference itself seems to be more of a pun on Women's Institute. Either way, without confirmation either within the books or from the author, :whether Salem Witches' Institute is a school or not is purely speculation, even if the speculation is linked back to a fan website such as DarkMark.com.
I'm moving Salem Witches' Institute from the schools sublist to the main list. --Foetus In Fetu 20:30, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
The title of the info-box generated by the "Template:HP Place" is "Harry Potter locale". The word "locale" is not in my OED and I do not understand what it means or is supposed to mean. The Wikipedia entry locale sheds no light on the matter. Why can you not use "place" or "location"? – Mikeweasle 23:04, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
The seventh book seems to indicate that "Spinner's End" is a street and not the name of Snape's home. Should it be removed from the list of places and left in the list of streets? GCD1 18:53, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
This edit seems unusual, wherein the user states in their edit summary: "Added the Beauxbatons coat of arms as created by user ToManyLetters. This image is free of copyright restrictions" . Is the coat of arms a new design, or a reproduction of the JKR denoted CoA by ToManyLetters? If its the first one, its fan OR, and cannot be included. If its the latter, it is most certainly covered by copyright. Either way, it cannot remain. Should I remove it, or does someone else want the honors? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 04:55, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
I've removed the ridiculous demands for citations in the Durmstrang section that in the film the students and professor wear ushankas. It's plain as day onscreen. This is the same as demanding a citation for "Ron wears a frilly robe to the Yule Ball."209.169.87.191 05:15, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
"The relative situation of Durmstrang to Hogwarts, the possibly German name chosen for the school in the middle ages and the absence of German family names among the Durmstrang delegation point to a likely location in the northern part of the Monastic state of the Teutonic Knights, today's Estonia or northern Latvia." This is completely ridiculous. Karkaroff or Krum are Bulgarian as far as I remember. Bulgaria, as everybody should know, is in the BALKANS, and Balkans are quite a long way from Latvia or Estonia. Saxon or more widely German settlers were present in Eastern and Southern Europe from Middle Ages on, so Durmstrang could be located anywhere: Vojvodina, Transylvania, Estonia... I really don't get the thing with "our friends from the North". Anyway, the presumption that the school is located in the former lands of the Teutonic order seems not to be very justified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.41.227.200 (talk) 11:13, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
I was just starting to wonder...how many people out there are annoyed by the representation of Durmstrang students in the movies? The 'weird stick dance' really ticked me off, it reminds me of how most people who I talk to Russia about either say it's communist or they have really bizarre dances. On that note, I always thought Durmstrang would be in Russia. Not logged in, sorry, I'm eddisford. 71.155.233.211 (talk) 00:57, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Somebody please ask Ms. Rowling what happened to Mr. Fortescue. Was he murdered? Was he kidnapped and later rescued? Did he run away and go into hiding? Das Baz, aka Erudil 15:47, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

St. Mungo's is introduced in Order of the Phoenix and I am always amused by the floor guide described in Chapter 22. E.g. "ARTEFACT ACCIDENTS" Ground floor : cauldron explosion, wand backfiring, broom crashes, etc." My question is, Is it too much information to include the entire quote in this article? or if included, should it be restricted to the names of the departments only? Or indeed really just too much information in a Wikipedia article of this nature? I will be guided by the opinions of others, as it is very tempting to "personalise" articles and thus detract form the over all intention of the project. Proxxt (talk) 05:17, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Why the information on Hogwarts castle are not included on this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.8.238.235 (talk) 05:29, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
thanks for the article, I think there is aמ inaccuracy about the Hogwarts Express and platform 9¾. the article says: "which is invisible to Muggle eyes" but first, it is invisible also for wizards till they go throw the wall and second, Muggles do go sometimes to the platform and see the Hogwarts Express train. for example see Snape's memories in book 7 which describe Petunia and Lily's parents (muggles) standing on platform 9¾.

Fred and George mention the location of their store in Chapter 29 of Order of the Phoenix. The store is described in such a way that indicates it is ready to be opened for business immediately. The Wiki article claims the store was opened in the summer segment of the following book. Eyamseryath (talk) 21:56, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
Wasn't it burned to the ground in the sixth movie, creating disagreement between the book and movie, or did they supposedly save it in the movie? Shouldn't this be mentioned in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.212.106.138 (talk) 02:26, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
It appears that both The Three Broomsticks and The Hog's Head pubs are credited in their entries as the headquarters of the historic Goblin Rebellion of 1612. Also the term "Goblin Rebellion" is capitalized in The Hog's Head and not in The Three Broomsticks. Finally, I must regretfully point out that Dates_in_Harry_Potter#Events does not list a goblin rebellion in 1612; in fact there is nothing listed for that year, nor does the cited Wiki list any goblin rebellions at all, although an early book reference indicates that there were so many that Ron couldn't keep them straight.

In my opinion there is no need to specify "fictional" in every paragraph. I suspect that most of these paragraphs have been merged from separate articles in which it made sense to clarify this. The introduction to this article makes it very clear that what follows is a list of fictional places and the repetition is quite tedious. Mezigue (talk) 10:51, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Seems like there's a double standard. Minas Morgul gets its own article despite playing a relatively small role in the LOTR trilogy, while Grimmauld Place, which is relatively more important within the Harry Potter series (and the series itself being much more popular than LOTR in terms of total book sales) not only doesn't get an article, but the article summarizing all the places in Harry potter gets nominated for deletion (twice)! Seems like the anti-fancruft activists turn a blind eye to certain things that they happen to like. 76.85.196.138 (talk) 11:10, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Many scenes of the films were shot in the Bourne Woods near Farnham in Surrey(UK) - officially listed as HBP, DH1 & DH2, but I'm fairly sure it was used for earlier HP films as well. Some of the house scenes were shot in and around houses in the area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 20.133.0.13 (talk) 12:41, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
Is this list 100% accurate and complete? I am asking for a reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.78.228.228 (talk) 20:48, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
Goblins are not a greedy race, they just have different views on gold, money and treasure to that of humans.
Griphook espouses this sentiment when Ron inadvertantly offends him by offering him anything they find when planning to raid the Lestrange vault, and Griphook responds with "I will not take that which is not mine!" - or words to that effect. Whilst yes, they covet what they have, and this is why they believe that goblin gold belongs to the maker not the person paying for the item, their covetousness is only applicable to what they consider to be theirs in the first place. Bill Weasley seems to be the only Wizard who understands this. Chaheel Riens (talk) 14:20, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
On the French Wikipedia, a similar list reached today 170 Kb. A contributor decided to split the list and create an article about Hogsmeade, with a 27 Kb size.
I was interested to create the interwiki for this new article, and noticed en. is in a similar situation, with a 12K content, several sections.
A split could be interesting, especially to allow to treat sources and leave MOS:INUNIVERSE. --Dereckson (talk) 15:51, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
So are these actual creations of Rowling? (If so, which works do they appear it?) From fanfic which Rowling since approved of? Entirely things from fanfic? Or the creation of some prankster & needing to be deleted? Citations in some form would help these sections. -- llywrch (talk) 18:57, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi! I see the discussion above regarding the additional wizarding schools, but I would like to add back a section at least on Castelobruxo as Rowling gives the background on Pottermore on this school in addition to confirming that this school is mentioned in the actual books (Goblet of Fire), when Ron is discussing Bill's pen friend from a school in Brazil. The majority of Ilvermorny's source is Pottermore as well, except the source from boston.com which get's its information from Pottermore; this is why I think using just Goblet of Fire and Pottermore as sources should be okay. Let me know if you're okay with this, thanks! -- Dylanregina (talk) 04:39, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
Sadly, beauxbâtons doesn't mean "beautiful wands" in french but "beautiful stick". A wand is called a "baguette magique" in french, shortened in "baguette" (yes, like the bread). "Beautiful wands" would have been "Bellesbaguettes". Absolutely no one in french call a wand a bâton. :D Matieu Sokolovic (talk) 12:29, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
I have changed the Beauxbatons article to redirect to the section of this article similar to Durmstrang which was changed to a redirect in 2007. I believe these schools have similar notability and should be treated similarly on wikipedia. Per Wikipedia:BLAR I have changed it to a redirect and putting a notice here. I incorporated the article content and references to the Beauxbatons section of this article. Mousymouse (talk) 05:15, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
