Talk:Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic

Categories
Should the potions (love potion, Draught of Living Death, etc.) that are listed under Devices be put in a seperate category strictly for potions? Saberiel 04:14, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Leave potions as they are, under devices. -Matt 20:19, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Mudblood
should there be a separate page for "Mudblood", as it is merely a pejorative for "Muggle-Born" or "Half Blood"?... its like having a page for "Jew" and then one for "Kike" Draganta 15:02, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * True. The page is a redirect now and its listing on the Magic page is gone. -Matt 00:50, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree. It's an offensive term for either of those, and it's not even mentioned in Half-blood. -- Jokes Free4Me 15:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Mentioning it in one place is all that should be done, though. If we want to cut out those other names and consolidate them all onto one page, I have no problem with that. We just don't want to have too much confusion with definitions and cross-referencing. -within focus 19:29, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Missing pages
Some of the pages that can be found here are not in this "index of 'Magic' pages". -- Jokes Free4Me 12:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Would you like to add them to the index then? I'll be going through and templating most of the pages that have been stubbed out shortly. -Matt 13:22, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I would have done that instead of placing this message, but i don't think i have enough time for adding them myself. :( Although I hope I will be able to do it in a few days, if noone else will. -- Jokes Free4Me 13:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Almost done. Now only Cruciatus (soon to be redirect) and Floo Powder remain. -- Jokes Free4Me 15:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Ven?mous Tentacula
Yes, I know it's misspelled... but that is how it is spelled in the book. I checked, because it bugged me as well.

Shall I leave it as is, or change it back to what the book has? -- Chazz 22:23, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


 * In that case, i'm sorry to have been too bold; i had merely searched Wikipedia for both forms, and the misspelled one didn't come up with anything. Now for settling this: i'd like * to try checking in a different version [i'm unable to help with this :-(, sorry], and if the two versions agree, we'll use the misspelled name. If they disagree, we'll check a third version. :-D -- Jokes Free4Me 12:56, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 * (*) better wording: i'd like us to try checking


 * Hmm. Okay; what version of the book (Chamber of Secrets) are you working from? I don't have mine here at the moment; I'll post my version tonight. I think this discussion should be on the Venomous Tentacula talk page... I'll post it there. -- Chazz 17:58, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Umm, no, not really. I don't have appropriate sources, since all the HP books i own are translations, and their quality is not what i would have wished... So i have been working mainly from my memories of the story, from Wikipedia articles, and from existing text already in the page i was editing. At least i have HP6 borrowed from a distant friend (i'll be giving it back soon), that's why i had asked about it regarding Hallowe[']en. -- Jokes Free4Me 21:12, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 * For what it's worth, I'm working from the Bloomsbury / Raincoast 1998 edition (UK/ Canadian). I understand that the American editions have extra text that was cut from the UK editions. Chazz 08:18, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

A question has come up about the spelling of this plant's name. In my edition (Chamber of Secrets, chapter 6), it is spelled "Venemous Tentacula"; Jokes Free4Me has corrected that to "Venomous Tentacula", that being accepted Muggle spelling, and apparently also being how it is spelled in his version.

Could you be a tie-breaker? I think this discussion will end up on the Venomous Tentacula discussion page... Chazz 18:06, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I've made my comment here regarding this. If it's misspelled, let's correct it. -within focus 21:08, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Luna Lovegood
Should there be pages for "Heliopath", "Blibbering Humdinger", and "Umgubular Slashkilter", which are all mentioned as being real by Luna Lovegood? --Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty 21:26, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Also "Nargles", Dirigible Plums, and whatever it is that makes you lose track of what you were saying? Good question... I've not bothered to date because they got only passing mention, where the Snorkack seems to be re-introduced periodically as a specific indicator of the Lovegood lunacy. But many things are present that get no mention at all, except in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. If you want to add them, feel free, but please use the Magic framework from Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Frameworks as the article starting point, and also, if you would be so kind as to add them to the All Pages collection, I'd deeply appreciate it. Chazz (talk) 22:55, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. --Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty 16:36, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Ghosts?
Should ghosts be included in "Creatures"? Ghosts are dead humans, and it doesn't seem entirely appropriate to have them in the same section as giant spiders and two-legged fish.
 * Umm... we'd want a separate section for ghosts, werewolves, and possibly vampires, those being human conditions as well, but they still would be a subsection of magic. A matter of moving them on this page only, I think. I'll do that. Chazz (talk) 18:37, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you
I would really love to thank the creator of this page. It really is very useful for Harry Potter and magic lovers like me .Naveen Badri (discuss • contribs) 15:18, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Confringo
I think a spell named Confringo is missing from this page.Can anyone add it please? Naveen Sridharan (discuss • contribs) 08:34, 25 May 2012 (UTC)


 * It's there -- under Spells, which are of course in alphabetical order. Chazz (talk) 15:05, 25 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry..I noticed it just now...Naveen Sridharan (discuss • contribs) 10:00, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
