"Snape passed his memorys to Harry"[edit]

With regard to these changes - can you explain why they are better than the existing text?

Thanks. Chaheel Riens (talk) 17:13, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another reversion without rationale here - please stop your editwarring as you're now at 3RR. Chaheel Riens (talk) 07:40, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you think about it neither of those wordings are clear enough. Either due to the need for brevity or because of knowing too much about the plot already, that wording has failed to explain in a way that would be more meaningful to someone who might not be so familiar with the story. Say what you can see.

Snape gave Harry his memories? How did he do that? Snape tells Harry to take his tears to the Pensieve, and from the tears Harry can see Snapes memories. -- 109.77.219.141 (talk) 23:13, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I made an attempt to rephrase this to be clearer, and although there is probably room for improvement I think I did make the wording better without making the plot section any longer.[1] Hopefully other editors will try to keep this change (or write a better version) if the plot section needs to be reverted again for some reason. -- 109.77.219.141 (talk) 23:46, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion[edit]

I think Harry potter and the Deathly hallows part 2 deserves a wikipedia page about box office records it broke back in 2011. It is one of the biggest release of this century and it broke almost every major box office record at the time of release. It deserves a wiki page. Star wars 7 and Endgame also have one.

Box office[edit]

Hey! The avengers movie was released in 2012, months after the release of HP8 therefore, its record ( fastest to 1 billion) wasn't tied with The Average. I think it should be corrected in wiki page. Thank you! 223.229.250.95 (talk) 09:01, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Numbers budget[edit]

The Numbers have an individual budget for Part I and II "$125 million." If someone can source it for me, that'd be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Parts 1 & 2 were filmed together on a budget of $250 million, and it is obvious that The Numbers has just split the joint figure. However, I would say that is misleading because the $125 million does not reflect the effective cost of the film i.e. the cost of many things is common to both films and there won't be an exact split.

Epic movie?[edit]

I don't know anything about Harry Potter beyond the awful views of the series' creator, but apparently Fernan1254 has attempted to classify this movie as an epic film. Is this accurate? Should it be put in? I don't know, but I'm attempting to start a discussion. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 02:27, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This happens often in films of this nature. Most times it is added because it is considered a term of praise and, as the Wikipedia article on it says, The usage of the term has shifted over time, sometimes designating a film genre and at other times simply synonymous with big-budget filmmaking. However, this is to be considered a genre as any other genre, and per WP:FILMGENRE, only the main genre is to be included in the lead section. Exceptionally, when many genres may apply, reliable sources must be provided to justify the inclusion of more genres, showing that two (or three) genres are attributed to the film in equal measure. This is not the case here, and if it were, the editor who wants to add the genre must be the one to provide the sources that show that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 is equally described as a fantasy film and as an epic film. —El Millo (talk) 03:31, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disputes related to genres happen so often that there's an essay dedicated to it and a specific set of warning templates (from {{Uw-genre1}} to {{Uw-genre4}}) to those who add unsourced and WP:UNDUE genres. —El Millo (talk) 03:34, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
