Category:Harry Potter[edit]
Move to Category:Harry Potter (franchise) for the sake of clarity. Themightyquill (talk) 09:15, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
- Let's not. Everyone knows who and what Harry Potter is. The term 'franchise' doesn't add any clarity. --Judithcomm (talk) 18:54, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
- Who or what? That's my point. =) We're not talking about a character in this instance, but the whole franchise including the books, film, characters, etc. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:28, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
- Support move. It's reasonable to distinguish between the franchise and the character (for which we have Category:Harry Potter (character)). This page could become a disambiguation category. --Auntof6 (talk) 12:29, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
- And what, would you say, would be in the 'franchise' category? Not the books, but only everything related to the films. And how do you distinguish fans of the books from those of the films? And artwork inspired by Harry Potter books and/or films, where would it go? And the games, the places, the foods, etc.? I just don't think things will become easier to find if you try to seperate the media this way. --Judithcomm (talk) 11:33, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Judithcomm: Yes, the books and everything else that's in Category:Harry Potter right now. Category:Harry Potter books and Category:Harry Potter films would remain subcategories as they are now. I'm not suggesting any changes to its contents. - Themightyquill (talk) 20:50, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree with what Themightyquill said. The franchise includes the books, which started everything, and everything that sprang from them: films, characters, cosplay of the characters, fandom, foods, everything. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:17, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

- I agree that the franchise and the character should be clearly distinguished as suggested. – BMacZero (🗩) 04:15, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
