Talk:Magical creatures (Harry Potter)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I thought I saw an article specifically about phoenixes in the Harry Potter world, but now I can't find it. If it has been deleted in favor of a generic phoenix (mythology) article, I would like to see it restored; if it's still here somewhere, it needs better links; if it never existed, I'd like to see in created.
- There's the Fawkes article, he's the only phoenix in the series. --Kizor 13:59, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
There is also an article Phoenix in popular culture, with a paragraph on the Harry Potter phoenixes. Erudil 17:59, 21 September 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Das Baz (talk • contribs)

[edit] Thestrals in 'Unmentioned' section
Thestrals are briefly mentioned in the section on winged horses in Fantastic Beasts. As a mater of fact, the article even states this. I'm removing it from the unmentioned section.--Romulus 05:30, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Egg thing
What was the worm like thing haching from an egg in Hagrids hut in the Thrid movie
- That was a baby dragon. In the books, he names her Norbert without realizing she was a female. Seansinc (talk) 19:51, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Bad Links
You cannot simply duplicate link syntax to every subject. Some of these links don't lead anywhere. Or lead to pages that do not ever mention the item linked. In this case, the link should be red, or there should be no link at all.
One solution would for links without corresponding articles to link to a page listing items in this section that do not have articles.
[edit] Redirect is not explained
In the paragraph about Crookshanks, it says: "Rowling has confirmed that Crookshanks is half kneazle". Kneazle redirects to this article but isn't explained. Can someone add the description? --Judith (talk) 19:08, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Unicorns
If a section for unicorns really needed in this article? Their role in the series was really minor if compared to the rest of the creatures. No unicorn character was directly mentioned except from the dead one in PS and the one in Care of MC class. I think that we should get rid of it, to avoid this article being too long.

[edit] XXXX
Do they really categorize with the X's? Basketball110 01:12, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, try reading Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (the book, not the article). --EinsteiNewton 05:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Diference between Zombies and Inferi
I known that both creatures exist in Harry Potter's World, but I'm not sure what is the difference. In my opinion, zombies are more like the dead of Nigth of the Living Dead or Resident Evil, while Inferi are the zombies of voodoo.
Could it be, or are the same creature with a different name?--Fampyre (talk) 16:08, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Interesting Question. The Harry Potter Lexicon doesn't comment on this, and I can't actually find any differences. Maybe they are the same thing? However as we cannot speculate we may never know --Maurice45 (talk) 18:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Just a small note on Dementors.
I added in the Dementors section that they were no longer used as guards in the prison Azkaban after Voldemort's death. Why? Because it's fact. One other thing, I don't think it was ever said in the books that Umbridge sent the Dementors after Harry in the 5th book, just saying. --Bending Unit (talk) 15:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Bending Unit
Not arguing with you, but I'm almost completely sure it was; will check and get back to you --Maurice45 (talk) 19:04, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
