Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on Facebook

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. It is important to make a mention of this page - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on Facebook — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starry ghost (talkcontribs) 23:07, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can i know how this piece of information adds to the overall understanding of the book? sure, this proves that the book has a good fanbase but it is not important in a encyclopedic article about the book Robin 15:24, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Apostrophe

In the section 'Christian allegories' it says "The Dumbledore's family tomb" which should either be just "Dumbledore's family tomb" or "The Dumbledores' family tomb" - right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.40.248.111 (talk) 12:28, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cover Picture

Anyone vote for an American cover to be displayed, as well as the UK? It is very expectable for users of Wikipedia to see the American cover as well. Perhaps lower down? — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Holmes II (talkcontribs) 18:24, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cover art is copyrighted, and the use of the UK cover is limited by the Fair Use Rationale provided with the image media file. Use of non-free images on Wikipedia is limited, see Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. Use of images with free licenses is encouraged instead. The other images in this article have free licenses.

I concur with Elizium23; adding the US cover would not be covered by Non-free content criteria, it would add nothing to the article and presents no new information to a reader. And why US cover-art? If one was to advocate for that you may as well advocate for using every single different cover ever made by each individual country. Using the UK cover for fair use rationale is fine - it illustrates the article and adds to the text, and is the cover from the country of origin. Adding US cover art purely from a copyright point of view is indefensible, not to mention pretty pointless in every other aspect. Patyo1994 (talk) 23:35, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from 64.206.23.97, 6 August 2011:

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".

typo

middle of the 4th paragraph of the plot summary, "seaking" should be "seeking", shouldn't it?

corrected. Thank you. Mezigue (talk) 11:38, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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.

'Accuracy change Harry does not leave when he is 17 and the protection is broken, he leaves before that date.

"Waried" Text currently says that Snape's loyalty never waried. No such word; should probably be "wavered". 174.7.104.200 (talk) 05:46, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
