Platform 9 3/4 - Your Gateway to the Wizarding World

Welcome to HPWiki --- a resource for information on the Harry Potter novels and the fandom that has grown up around these amazing books and their accompanying films.

Please note: The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows spoiler template will
now start to be phased out. More than six months has passed since it was first released,
and we feel this is a suitable amount of time to give people a chance to read the book.
Please remove any instances the {{Template:Dhspoiler}} template code
you find in pages.

Random Daily Quote: "Now I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another brilliant idea to get us killed... or worse... EXPELLED." — Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Spoiler Warning: The HPWiki contains spoilers from all novels in the series, as well as other resources. Generally, spoilers will not be marked, except in cases where they may give away important ending details.

This is a collaborative encyclopedia of the facts of the JK Rowling-created Harry Potter universe. We recognize that there's no way that a team could create something as comprehensive as the fandom needs, in terms of synthesizing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and merging what we learn from Book Six with the first five novels, the trading cards, video games, schoolbooks, interviews with JK Rowling and JKRowling.com website pages. It's also our goal to be a comprehensive resource about the fandom, and include information about the history of the HP fandom, Ship manifestos, popular and unpopular theories and the developments in and behind them, a glossary of fan - terms, and links to essays, fanfiction and fanart.

Currently, we welcome updates and information on every topic included here - and on anything we've left out! If you have details you would like to volunteer, feel free to start editing. Please check the various guidelines (formatting style is generally similar to that of other Wikis) and if you have any questions, please send an email to the help desk at help@fictionalley.org or ask at the user page of one of this Wiki's staff.

Formatting Guidelines: Naturally, all information should be spelled correctly. We recommend the Firefox 2.0 browser to deal with most basic spelling issues. As for character names, if you are uncertain of a spelling, check around the Wiki first and you may be able to find it. Additionally, we are using British/Canadian spellings when it comes to words such as "colour" and "defence." If you notice any words or phrases using U.S. spellings in these cases, feel free to change them.
