You do have permission to put these images of the covers in, right? (--User:67.171.166.178)
Before I uploaded any book covers (and I uploaded a *LOT* that week), I posted to the village pump to find out what the dela is from a legal perspective. You can find the discussion archived at Wikipedia talk:Copyrights#Fair use of book covers. The summary is - as long as we use them in an article related to their content, we're covered by fair use. →Raul654 09:32, Feb 28, 2004 (UTC)
Is there any particular reason that the cover image shown here is of the US version (with the alternate title)? Surely the Bloomsbury ones are more relevant, since they were the first publishers to pick up the series. - Mark 09:22, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Yes - because it's what I had sitting on my shelf when I scanned them in :) →Raul654 09:24, Feb 28, 2004 (UTC)
The book cover for the UK version can be found on the UK's Amazon site:
- I finally got hold of a scanner, and scanned in all the Bloomsbury covers. Six months isn't much of a delay! ;-) - Mark 13:21, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Grown-up covers
Can anyone get us the covers for the "grown-up" editions? (I hesitate to write "adult" for obvious reasons :-) --Phil | Talk 16:58, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)
Controversy
Should this section be merged into the corresponding section in Harry Potter: we don't really need a "controversy" section for each book, do we? --Phil | Talk 13:32, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
Plot
Hey I was thinking that perhaps the plot section could be merged into Harry Potter (plot) for the articles of the books. Some of the book articles have more lengthy plot summaries than the plot article, some less lengthy, and I'd like to try and make that more consistent. Any opinions?

Need synopsis of Gryffindor Hufflepuff Ravenclaw Slytherin?
I think this article lacks a synopsis of the different houses the sorting hat sorts students into. What do people think? Each "house" already has its own article (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin) but there aren't even any links to them in this article, let alone a synopsis. zen master T 17:18, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I agree! Although I'd choose a very brief mention to them, like:
- ===The four Great Houses=== [or something, and even maybe under some already existing section]
- Hogwarts rules imply each student to be sorted into one of the four existing Houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. This sorting is done in their first arrival at the caste, during a sorting cerimony in which the Sorting Hat reads their minds and chooses appropriately the house.
- This houses were founded by four wizard of the same name, during the creation of the school, a thousand years ago.
- Then perhaps add a Main article: sentence referring to the links of the Houses.
