I note your edits to Elphias Doge; unfortunately I had to back them out. The links were in the incorrect format and so would not have worked; in any event, we're generally not linking back from the character pages to the specific chapters, simply because there are too many links that would have to be added at this point to make it coherent. Information from the movies is not included in this book. There is a separate section for analysis. and there is no need to state the same thing in different words multiple times simply because it's mentioned in multiple chapters. Adding Elphias' comment that Harry is extraordinarily like his father would be worthwhile; but of all you put in there, that is about all I could keep in the role in the books section. I hope I'm not being too harsh; we do need more editors, and your knowledge would be helpful indeed. But the book has developed to a particular standard over the years, and we sort of have to keep it to that standard to keep it from making incredible amounts of work for us.
