Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title Adam Bede for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist.

[edit] Article Layout

Does anyone else think that the layout of Hermione's page could be improved? I think that it would be clearer and better constructed if it followed the fashion of Harry Potter's character page. --KittyCollier 17:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

And where, in the books, does it say her middle name is jane?Uptonogood 12:12, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] True?

"(although that incident also shows her difficulties in thinking on her feet: it is Harry and Ron who tell her how to defeat the Snare)"

Is this true? It's differs from how I remember it happening. I don't have my books right now, or I'd check. I remember Hermione as the one who remained calm and got through Can anybody varify? John Reaves 21:38, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

The film may have misrepresented it. In the book, however, she is able to identify it as Devils Snare (shrieking in horror at the same time). She then says responds to Rons's sarcastic "Oh, I'm so glad we know what it's called" with "Shut up, I'm trying to remember how to kill it!" She (of course) remembers Sprout's explanation of what it is ("it likes the dark and the damp") but fails to use that knowledge to good effect: Harry has to say, "So light a fire." She responds memorably: "Yes - of course - but there's no wood!" 'Hermione cried, wringing her hands'. Ron: "HAVE YOU GONE MAD? ARE YOU A WITCH OR NOT?" It is Ron and Harry who use what they know (from her) constructively; she, by contrast, panicks. I do, however, think the film (as per usual) made a royal stuff up of the scene, so she might have been better there. Michaelsanders 22:22, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay thanks, the movies tend to screw up my memory, I not sure why I watch them. Plus, I haven't read the first couple books in a while. John Reaves 00:33, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] May someone please erase this?

Her dislike for Fleur has deepened from their encounter in book four, and she has been joined in this by both Mrs Weasley and Ginny, although the three dislike Fleur for different reasons (Mrs Weasley feels that Fleur and Bill are rushing into their marriage, Ginny views her as spoiled and narcissistic, Hermione dislikes her because of Ron's attraction to her).

For me it's just a lame interpretation. The books or even the author had never said so.

Well, the statement is implied to be true during the books, but I can see why it could be removed and not hurt the article. --KittyCollier 17:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

As part of Wikipedia which we considered neutral, the statement is too-shippy (i'm sure all of you know about shipping in Harry Potter). Shippers are also important that we cannot ignore them. And as you said, no problem about erasing them.

[edit] Otter detail

I removed the otter detail because it appears in the article twice. It is mentioned once as Rowling's favorite animal on top and again under Order of the Phoenix. I'm uncertain if it needs to be there two times but someone reverted it back. JayEsJay 00:21, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] S.P.E.W.

Is Hermione not part of S.P.E.W.? In the INFO. BOX it does not mention so, I should like to see that addition. Gargoyle123 22:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

One guideline for the HP infobox that will help keep it within a reasonable size limit is to limit the number of Allegiances to two. Since the DA and the Order of the Phoenix are more important in the general spectrum than S.P.E.W., we have omitted it there, but it can be found in the prose of the article. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 00:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redundancies

in addition to the redundant mentioning of the otter info, there seem to be some links that are repeated within a section. Hippogriff, Buckbeak and DA are needlessly linked more than once within the section that they show up. I think they should be removed. JayEsJay 04:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hermione Hair Colour?

Yes, this probably seems stupid, but I was just wondering: it's been stated on a few sites (once on hp-lexicon.org or whatever and on mugglenet) that Hermione's hair colour is DARK brown? I know it's really just an addition to "brown," but I thought that people are drifting off to Emma's portrayal as Hermione. Sorry, just a thought. Gargoyle123 18:17, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
