Talk:List of Harry Potter cast members

I've transferred all the names from the main Harry Potter article: I suspect there are some more scattered around, and almost certainly several which aren't on Wikipedia at all yet. I'm undecided as to how to re-sort the entries. Should those characters which appear only in the first movie and not again be sorted to the top or the bottom? Suggestions please. --Phil | Talk 14:45, Jul 2, 2004 (UTC)

You might try to sort them by their overall importance in the whole series.

Order of appearance? This is usually how they're listed in the film credits at the end. Her Pegship 15:20, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

On another issue, should this be re-named "Cast of Harry Potter films"? Her Pegship 15:20, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Barmy!

I think that, with the exceptions of the trio, Dumbledore, Hagrid, McGonagall and Snape, all of the cast should be listed alphabetically... I'm surprised someone hasn't thought of this by now!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Foxearth (talk • contribs) 10:53, January 31, 2006.

Sorted by name of actor or character? —Phil | Talk 10:18, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

James & Lily

Did they actually appear in the third and fourth films? IMDb claims that they did, but I'm trying and failing to recall their appearances. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 10:18, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

near the end of the 4th.

They appeared in a photograph on Harry's bedside table in 3, and in the Priori Incantatem in 4. Squidward2602 16:34, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Isaacs confirmed?

Jason Isaacs is confirmed to play Lucius Malfoy? I thought he was likely though not confimed to return....ForestH2 ^{(discuss | contribs)}

Mess

This page is a complete mess. First of all, Saunders Triplets did not play Harry Potter in all 5 films. It's needs a lot of cleanup and I plan to do some after I switch some minor things. Treebark 22:09, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

While I know you weren't aware of it, I think that you need to take a look at the page prior to the major clean-up I performed on it on 7 June, and also before it had categories. Also, I suppose it was rather ambiguous with the Saunders Triplets occupying a cell that spanned five columns, but I don't feel "Baby Harry Potter" merits its own row as we have the attribute '(y)' for younger, so I compromised and went with the way I did Hagrid as younger. I anticipate the changes you're going to make eagerly, but I just thought you should know the drastic changes it's gone through in three weeks' time. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 02:53, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

As far I am concerned it looked really bad having, Baby Harry Potter as Saunders Triplets have 5 columns. Have you fixed all the young verisons? ForestH2 | + | √+ | √ | √- | - 02:57, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Remus is/was Hogwarts teacher

I'd categorize Remus as staff of Hogwarts not as a member of the OoP. His role in PoA was significantly greater than his better cameo in OoP. Also Firenze was part of Hogwarts staff for a time, which should qualify him for entry in that category. Whether Moody should be moved to the staff section also is open for discussion as he didn't actually teach himself. --Mirage GSM 10:23, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Survey - in support of the move

Survey - in opposition to the move

1. Oppose The article name is fine as is. "Harry Potter films" is an adjectival phrase and so doesn't need to be made possessive. If we were only talking about a single film, for example, I don't think anyone would object to "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire cast members" and want to change it to "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 's cast members". "Harry Potter films cast members" is the same as the first construction, but plural. --ShelfSkewed talk 21:36, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
2. Oppose I agree that there is no grammatical error here, and thus in opposition to this move. I have comments below about other moves. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 03:51, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Discussion

Add any additional comments:

• See the convention in Category:Actors by drama television series. I think List of Harry Potter cast members would be best and no one would confuse it for the novels. –Pomte 00:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• That sounds clear to me, until there's a Broadway musical. I support removing "films". Dekimasuよ! 13:51, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • When I renamed this page from Harry Potter cast I just wanted to be absolutely clear. I thought that throwing in the "films" wasn't that annoying, and it certainly straightened up any sort of weird doubts one might have. But if there's consensus for just the List of Harry Potter cast members, that's okay with me. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 03:51, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

While the title "List of Harry Potter cast members" may be acceptable to most participants in this debate, there is no compelling reason to move to that title, since there is no problem with the existing title. It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. --Stemonitis 06:33, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Pomfrey

I saw Pomfrey in the 1st and 3rd movie two she is in the background also I saw Kate Bell,Angelina Johnson Oliver Wood and Alica Spinnet in the 3rd movie at the Imfirmary and the match. and I think Lee Jordan was in the background of the 4th. I don't know where to put this but I saw the back half of Fang in the 3rd movie when Harrys telling Hagrid it will be alright and Trever the Frog in Longbottom's hands when the Fat lady is singing
