[edit] Grawp

How can Grawp be between S't Mungos and Grimmauld Place? That scene is at Hogwarts, or isn't it?--81.236.17.8 19:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proof?

Non-Playable So far it is said that the following characters will be in the game :

Severus Snape Hermione Granger Ron Weasley Dolores Umbridge Voldemort Bellatrix Lestrange Dudley Dursley Rubeus Hagrid Grawp the giant

Where is the proof, I want to know! So far all I have heard is that Harry, Dumbledore, and Sirius are playable characters, there is no proof that Hermione and Ron are just non-playable characters! (I hope they are playable characters!)

[edit] Reasons why Ron and Hermione are not playable:

If you follow this link you will find a post on the Leaky Lounge about Ron and Hermione's unplayability. Link: Leaky Lounge

Note especially the part about taking over and becoming a leader. This is a very good reason why they are not playable.

NOTE: The person that made this post has visited EA studios and this is what EA have said themselves.

[edit] Where is the proof...

... of the stuff that is getting put on here?

[edit] Items that have not been confirmed

• It has been confirmed Bertie Bott's every flavour beans are NOT going to be in this game!
• Dungbombs, Stinkpellets: Just because these have been in several of the other games, doesn't mean they will be in this one!
• Brooms: Although EA would love to put flying into this game, because of their small team size and limited time, they have made their priorities and exploring a large Hogwarts is at the top of this list.

[edit] Creatures that have not been confirmed:

• Blast-Ended Skrewts: Once again, just because they are in previous games, doesnt mean they will be in this one!
• Hedwig: Not confirmed.

[edit] Spells that have not been confirmed:

• A whole bunch!

[edit] Characters that have not been confirmed:

• Although all the characters on that list are most likely to be in the game, the last three have not been confirmed. All the others can be found in the first link at the bottom of the page and searching carefully.

[edit] However...

If you have seen proof of these things, just link here to the page where you have seen it!

[edit] Xbox and Gamecube=

The game is not going to come out on these platforms. It has been confirmed by EA.

CONFIRMED CHARACTERS IN THE GAME Leak Fan Council Threads—The preceding comment is by Joecool15 (talk • contribs) 20:18, January 21, 2007: Please sign your posts!

Message boards are not reliable sources. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 04:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually this is not a message board its a FAN COUNCIL...that means that one of the Mods VISITED EA HEADQUARTERS and brought back all of this CONFRMED INFO. Go check it out. Thanks. --JOecool15—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Joecool15 (talk • contribs) 11:22, 22 January 2007 (UTC).

It's still not a reliable source. I have provded the link to read more about it; go read it. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 19:21, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I would not post unreliable information, listen to the podcasts and read the transcripts and fan events in the sources section. Obviously nothing is getting done after you delete everything I put up which is ridiculous. Is there something Im doing wrong? Joecool15 22:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't know you, and neither does the article's readers. You are not a reliable source. Finally, on my talk page, you have pointed me in a more specific direction, but the burden is on the person who adds to information to provide a specific citation for it. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 22:26, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I looked at the information you gave me and almost added something from it, but then I realized that nowhere does it actually say who is speaking. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 02:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Go to this site and click the button on the left, it says Interview with EA, with a big EA games logo next to it. Listen to the first 10 seconds. They are the producers of Harry Potter video games. Justin Manning and Matt Birch.Joecool15 11:02, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, buddy, I dunno where you've been, but what Joe is saying is 100% true. That site is the official discussion for the Fan's Council for the OOTP game. I'm known as hallowethe there, and I've put my suggestions and such into the game, as has Joe and quite a few others. EA UK looks at that thread for suggestions directly from the fans. It's official. Stop arguing Chris because no matter what you make of it, you are 100% wrong.

I see you've deleted the Fan's Council link in the sources section, now called Further Reading for some reason. OK, I am known as Inny Binny on that thread and yes, as the last person said, it is 100% reliable and true. But lets just say for one moment that it is an unreliable source. I recently put a "Sequence of Events" section in the article, and yet you deleted that too. If you looked at the http://www.hpana.com/news.19572.201.html link (first on the list) you will see that under the paragraph "Let The Game Begin" there is all the information you need right there to compile that sequence of events that I put down in this article that day. So you are deleting stuff that is definitely reliable. If it needed citations, why didn't you put those citations in yourself, rather than deleting absolutely everything that members from the Fan's Council are putting in?

[edit] Vandalism

The plot and playable characters section has ben vandalized.

Quantuminated

Awesome. Please fix it when you see it. If you need help, ask me. Thanks, Chris Griswold (☎☓) 05:39, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] vandishing

It has been vandished. I had a picture section and it was removed CF Captain Dell970 00:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

It has not at all been vandished. Those pictures are not for use as decoration. It's not clear what the pictures are of or what they mean to this article. They violate fair use rules, and I am removing them again. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 01:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
