- Rule #1: Don't be a jerk

Don’t post links or discuss how to pirate any Harry Potter-related media. - Rule #4: Posts must be Wizarding World related
Posts must be related to Harry Potter and the universe in a tangible way. This does not include series actors and their personal lives, political leanings of persons associated with the franchise, pets named after the series, images related only by the title, etc. - Discussion of JKR's personal opinions is banned. Defense of her words and actions will lead to a ban. This includes supporting her right to a platform to spread hate. (Full rule in wiki) - Rule #5: No sharing private information

Every other week, r/harrypotter is in [Discussion Week](https://www.reddit.com/r/harrypotter/wiki/megathread#wiki_discussion_week). During this time, link posts are not allowed. All posts should focus on starting discussion about the Potterverse, whether it's fan theories, book/film critiques, headcanon, fan fiction, etc. - Rule #14: Spoilers
[Spoiler policy](https://www.reddit.com/r/harrypotter/wiki/spoilers) - Ban Evasion
Your account was identified by Reddit sitewide administrators (not subreddit mods) as an alternate or main account of another account that was recently banned from r/harrypotter. Please note that Ban Evasion is against the Reddit Terms of Service. If you believe that your account was incorrectly identified as participating in Ban Evasion, you can [open an appeal](https://www.reddit.com/appeal) with the Reddit admins directly or try posting on r/help for further suggestions.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
