Talk:Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Professor Quirrell

This page should be moved (not copy-pasted) to ../Quirinus Quirrell/, to be in line with the pages for the other professors. -- Jokes Free4Me 17:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, if we were going to go that way, it would be Slatero Quirrell, for reasons that I put forward on the character page itself. But I don't think we should -- no first name appears in the book, and so we probably shouldn't have a first name in the article. Chazz 07:31, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

The Lexicon mostly accepts Quirinus, though they say that it cannot be confirmed as cannon. See http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizards/quirrell.html Therequiembellishere 17:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * One other note: Quirrell is apparently the only evil character that utters the name "Voldemort", though he does it ("at least", so to say) with the respectful "Lord" before it. Most wizards, of course, do not say the name, which is out of fear in the good and out of reverence in the bad; the former mostly say "You-Know-How" and sometimes "He who must not be named"; the latter usually say "Dark Lord" (keeping the habit, though, if they think better of it and cease to be Death Eaters; Regulus, Snape and Karkaroff are cases in point; in a limited number of cases, the phrase "the Dark Lord" is also used by the good side). The braver from among the good side say "Voldemort" and, sometimes, "Lord Voldemort", but Quirrell - possibly because he is not technically a Death Eater, but was recruited afterwards; possibly because even though he could force him to give over his body, is mutilated nature was simply not enough to keep that sort of respect - is the only bad character to say "Lord Voldemort".--131.159.76.213 (discuss) 20:30, 15 March 2017 (UTC)


 * An interesting point, and one worth adding to the article. Hope you don't mind that I did that... I'd credit you there, but it's hard to do that if you haven't got an ID yet. Chazz (talk) 03:14, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
