Add rules about names and relations to characters of the series to the start page
Add (at least a short sentence about) rules about names and relations to characters of the Harry Potter universe to the start/register page, so people know about it before they even create their character.
Answer
You are allowed to use the surnames Potter, Malfoy and whatsoever. As long as it's not in combination with the original name (so Harry Potter fe) and as long as you don't describe yourself as related to any of the characters from the books. Potter for example is just a regular surname and so are a lot of the others.
I think this rule shouldn't be too trict. Especially for names like "Malfoy".
Because there is the option to play a pureblood-character. And as we learned from the books- all pureblood-familys are related. So if you play a Malfoy- of course you are related to the Malfoys from the books. But as long as Draco is not your Cousin or your Grandfather, I think, there shouldn't be any problem...
You can ask your MoM to add this rule to the rules that appear on the first page before registering, they can do that manually (:
