Description:
This is a sub-project of the FAKE Profiles.
The main goal is to merge all of the Harry Potter profiles & maintain them, while keeping this tree DISCONNECTED from real profiles
Main Harry Potter Tree:
Note to those wanting to manage these profiles
You are most welcome to come & help us keep them accurate & prevent them getting smerged into other trees. Remember that only real people can manage profiles, so if you want to help us manage the Harry Potter tree, open a profile on Geni and add your family tree in real life.
Then, as yourself, request to be a manager on the existing Harry Potter {FICTIONAL} profiles on Geni. (Drop down menu top right of the profile).
Please request to collaborate on this Project too. (Drop down menu under <Actions> top right of this project page.)
Looking forward to working with you, Anne Brannen
PS: Geni will delete any profile using a fake name, so don't take it personally when that happens. It's to prevent thousands of Harry Potter conflicting profiles and trees on Geni, which take days and days to merge in.
Naming Convention
Since all of the profiles are works of fiction - The suffix of the name will contain the word {FICT}. You can also do a geni search for the suffix of "{FICT}" to find all profiles so designated. Currently there are 968 of these profiles.
Master Profiles:
Master profiles for this project should contain the following in both the curator note and at the start of the "About" section:

Search Tools
Clicking on the links below will produce a geni.com search for the name. Note that some names in the Harry Potter book and movie series are very common for example "Lily Evans" and may well be shared with actual people.
RPG Role Playing Tree:
witherwings was a role playing site active in 2009-2011 and an archived view of the old website can be viewed here.
A large fake tree based on the game once existed on geni (424+ family members); it doesn't belong on geni and has been removed.
Most of the profiles don't have obvious Harry Potter related names like Potter, Weasley or Black. The witherwings web site indicates that players of the game purposely had to invent their own names for their characters and couldn't use canonical Harry Potter names. One of the persons playing the game on line must have used geni to track his fake characters and family.
The same fake tree has been uploaded to myheritage.com
