Until Further information should come out, I think we should merge this page with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows under a FILM section, and remove the long cast list for now. WP standards do say that when prodution on a film begins, to create a seperate film page, but I think if we removed the long and (unnessacary) cast section, this would be fit for a merge into the book article until we get more information on the two films. This will settle a dispute over the two films and whether they should be one or two articles, and will condence an article that could be placed in a better suited spot.ChaosMaster16 (talk) 23:51, 12 January 2010 (UTC)ChaosMaster16

"Future In April 2010, Rowling announced she has plans for an 8th and final book for the series. However, no further announcements have been made"
I'm curious as to why this unsubstantiated and almost certainly false bit of gossip is in the entry (about a possible 8th book in the Potter series) and why it has its own section?? There is no talk of an 8th Potter book that I'm aware of, certainly nothing from Rowling's own site, and her recent comments on the subject contradict the idea: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/2010/4/5/jkr-sometime-in-the-not-too-distant-future-i-will-bring-you-another-book-and-it-will-not-be-harry-potter "Sometime in the not too distant future I will bring you another book and it will not be Harry Potter." She went on to relate that she is "enjoying taking a break from publishing," and, regarding in earlier question, reiterated prior comments saying she has never ruled out revisiting the Harry Potter series, but she "always planned seven." She also noted that while she is indeed writing again, she is not ready to talk about it just yet.
When did Ron and Hermione divorce? 164.100.170.4 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:54, 15 April 2010 (UTC).
correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't hp7 come out july 7th, 07, not july 21? I have a keychain from the part that has the date 07/07/07 written on it. just wanted to see if anyone agrees before i go a make a change that might not be right.
If this isn't meant to be me, fine. But if it is, I can assure you, no one denied that I had received the book early - in fact, I was contacted by Scholastic and asked not to reveal the contents of the book. And then they offered me "compensation ($50 in Scholastic merchandise)" for the "difficulty" - yeah, a bribe. And yeah, I took it! FlaviaR (talk) 05:31, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
Why does the video game redirect here? 24.49.35.99 (talk) 02:25, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
Why does "HP7" redirect here? There are other things that HP7 may stand for (such as the crap listed in the see here links) that rate a lot higher than Harry Potter. I like the Harry Potter stories but that redirect is bullshit. If anything it should go to a disamg page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.185.84.11 (talk) 20:13, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
The article cited for some of the post-DH info (Hannah Abbot, Dumbledore is gay) - i.e. the one from Newsweek, actually has nothing whatsoever in it about either of these things. The article is titled "JK says Dumbledore is gay!!" or some such, but the article itself is completely devoid of the information it has been used as a citation for. I couldn't edit this because it's protected. Can anyone fix this?Anannya.authorshipclass (talk) 18:06, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
((edit semi-protected)) In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows article about the book, the following quote is actually untrue. "They recover the Sword of Godric Gryffindor; it is one of a few objects that can be used to destroy Horcruxes (being dipped in Basilisk venom), and they use it to destroy the locket."
They do recover the Sword of Gryffindor, but it is not because it was dipped in Basilisk venom. It is actually because it is Goblin-made metal, which is supposedly very difficult to destroy and is one of the few things that can destroy a horcrux.

((Edit semi-protected)) In the first section it says "A two-part film based on the novel is in the works, with part one's release date in November 2010 and the second part in July 2011." The first part has been released, so the text should be changed to "The second part of a two-part film based on the novel is in the works to be released in July 2011, with part one having been released on November 11, 2010 in London."
I tried to fix some grammar in the lede. I hope that helps a bit.
Also I tried to reword the opening semtence of the "Epilogue" subsection, to try to keep it from getting too far in-universe, up-arse, or whatever you want to call it.
I removed what I think was an excessive expansion of the already over-the-top response to a single statement by Rowling on an in-universe topic. Dumbledore may be gay and he may keep quiet about it, but in Britain of the 1990s when the novel is set this isn't such an issue as it would have been in former decades. There are some muggles who want to make a big deal out of it? Fine, but not on Wikipedia. --TS 00:43, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

There is a typo in the first paragraph of the Plot Summary.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - the seventh and final book of the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling - has a fan page for the movies on Facebook which is growing at a rapid. It currently has more than 280,000 fans worldwide who have "liked the page" and growing at an average of around a thousand likes a day. It is perhaps one of the few fan pages with the most active participation of fans.

Plot Summary, first paragraph: Change "...Helga Hufflepuff, and the third may be..." to "...Helga Hufflepuff and a third may be..." After all, there are seven (eight counting Voldemort himself) horcruxes, not three. Also, British English would omit the comma before that "and".

middle of the 4th paragraph of the plot summary, "seaking" should be "seeking", shouldn't it?
Clarity change
In the paragraph is this sentence: "Harry surrenders himself to death at Voldemort's hand, using the Resurrection Stone to bring back his deceased loved ones for a short while, who casts the Killing Curse at him, sending Harry to a limbo-like state between life and death." This is somewhat confusing as it almost points to his deceased loved one casting the killing curse. More appropriately would be this suggestion:
Harry surrenders himself to death at Voldemort's hand in the forest. But before meeting Voldemort Harry uses the Resurrection Stone to bring back his deceased loved ones for a short while giving him comfort. Then he meets Voldemort who casts the Killing Curse at him, sending Harry to a limbo-like state between life and death.

I want to edit the page on Harry Potter because it is not up to date. I want to add that J.K. Rowling admitted to originally wanting Harry and Hermione to end up together romantically.

I see from the talk page that previous versions of this wikipedia entry state simply that Ron married Hermione, without mentioning any change in last name for Hermione:
"In the story's epilogue, taking place 19 years after the Battle of Hogwarts (presumably 2017), Harry has married Ginny Weasley and has three children named James, Albus Severus, and Lily. Ron has married Hermione and they have two children named Rose and Hugo. Draco has a child named Scorpius. They all meet at King's Cross, about to send their children to Hogwarts at the beginning of term. It is revealed that Harry's scar has not hurt since the Dark Lord's defeat, and there, the story ends."[1]
The current entry refers to her in the epilogue as Hermione Weasley. This seems contradictory to her character, and Emma Watson herself said that Hermione would "would have kept her maiden name."[2] Why was the entry changed? Did J.K. Rowling confirm the married name change? If it's unclear, please revert to the previous state or rewrite it so that Ron and Hermione are referred to by first name only.

I would like to know why somebody emphasized these three languages, I mean "The novel has also been translated into over 120 languages, including Ukrainian, Swedish, and Hindi.". Are these languages special among the other 120? I ask seriously, because it may have something I have no idea about Tashi Talk to me 22:57, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
"Harry re-enters the wizarding world at age 11 and enrolls" (Plot: Background) Rowling is a British author, so the British spelling enrols should be used.
Mad Eye (mentioned twice in Plot: Summary) should be Mad-Eye. UK editions consistently write the name this way.
"Harry learns that Voldemort is seeking the Elder Wand, recognises the Resurrection Stone from the second Horcrux, which Dumbledore destroyed, and realises that his own Invisibility Cloak is the one mentioned in the story, but he is unaware of the Hallows' significance." (Plot: Summary). Suggest inserting "true" before "significance". Their significance has just been explained (by Xenophilius) but there is a true significance that is revealed later.
Forest of Dean (mentioned in Plot: Summary). Link to Forest of Dean (yes, it exists!)
Due to its worldwide fame, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' has been translated into many languages (Translations). Remove apostrophe.2.24.117.123 (talk) 17:38, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
Rowling confirmed the old fan theory that Dumbledore represents death, Voldemort represents the Peverell brother who claimed the elder wand, Snape represents the brother who wished to use the stone to bring back the dead and Harry represents the 3rd brother, literally greeting Dumbledore as an old friend when he was temporarily dead, like Death in "The Tale of Three Brothers".
I believe that the confirmed theory should be mentioned in this article as the theory stems from the "Deathly Hallows" book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.46.220.173 (talk) 09:40, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
