Talk:Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Nymphadora Tonks

Remus or Tonks says sorry
We're getting into a bit of an edit war about who says "It was very quiet" when Harry notices Tonks' ring. In absolute fact, having checked the book, I have to say that we don't know. Here's the quote:
 * "Harry, guess what?" said Tonks from her perch on top of the washing machine, and she wiggled her left hand at him; a ring glittered there.
 * "You got married?" Harry yelped, looking from her to Lupin.
 * "I'm sorry you couldn't be there, Harry, it was very quiet."
 * "That's brilliant, congrat&mdash;"

Note that the response to Harry's question is not actually shown as being said by either Lupin or Tonks. I am coming down on the side of it being Tonks who said it because she had said the earlier line to Harry. Chazz (talk) 23:58, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

We need more hieght"
On their way to 12 Grimulad place in the beggining of book 5. Mooday sayd "Theres a muggle looking up hard left hard left!" and then someone says "we need more height give it a quater of a mile" i do not know you said that last line MOody or Tonks???--64.66.233.18 (discuss) 11:54, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Generally, though I'll grant not always, if the speaker changes, the writer will start a new paragraph. As the second speech is in the same paragraph as the first, I am going to guess it was still Moody speaking. Also, given Tonks' complaint later when Moody says they ought to double back, I have to think that the need for more height is much more likely to have come from Moody, who is after all paranoid, than from Tonks, who from the beginning seems to think Moody is vastly over-exaggerating the threat.

Chapters?
Can anyone please tell me, from which of the last three books, What Chapters Nymphadora Tonks appear in?. Thanks! --64.66.233.18 (discuss) 12:01, 26 August 2012 (UTC)


 * There is a cute trick there. If you go back to the character page and look low on the left, you'll see a link "What links here". Clicking that will give you a list of every page in this project which contains links to the Nymphadora Tonks character page, which will likely contain at least every chapter in which she appears.
 * Using that, I see that Tonks is at least "mentioned in dispatches" in OotP:3, 4, 5, 22, 24, 35, 37, 38; HBP:2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 16, 21, 29; and DH: 1, 5, 7, 11, 25, 31, 33, 36, and the Epilogue, though I think the last one seems to be analysis only, and 36 likewise may be only analysis.

"As long as it's not any of our lot!"
Again, In DH Chapter 31 page 503 Someone either Ginny or Tonks during the final battle says this "As long as it's not any of our lot" Who is it???
 * No way to know, really, as JKR only says that Ginny and Tonks are there when Harry looks over. If I had to guess, though, I'd say Tonks is more likely to make an observation like that in the heat of the battle, as Ginny, competent as she is, likely has not before seen this scale of battle and so is more likely to be concentrating on targets. But I'm in no way prepared to defend that guess; and a guess is all it can be, after all. Chazz (talk) 17:23, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks again for your help. That link that you were talking about... I can't seem to find it. Can you possibly send it to me? --64.66.233.18 (discuss) 12:29, 27 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, no, because it is different for every page. On the left of the page, you see the Wikibooks logo, then under that you should see a bunch of links, Main Page, Help... and if you look down a little further, you'll see >Toolbox. The > mark indicates that there are other links below that; if you can't see them, click on the > mark and it will drop down another set of links. The top one is "What links here".


 * I guess I'm just so used to working with my toolbox open that I forget that it can be closed... Chazz (talk) 15:06, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

It says it can't be used --64.66.233.18 (discuss) 15:10, 27 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I can't see any reason for that except, perhaps, that you haven't yet signed up for an ID. If you create an ID and sign in, a fairly large set of things start working a bit better... Chazz (talk) 15:36, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
