J. K. Rowling's Wizarding World

 * ... that the J. K. Rowling's Wizarding World media franchise was the most-snubbed, top-grossing franchise of all-time at the Academy Awards, with 12 nominations and zero wins, until Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them won for Best Costume Design in 2017?

Source: "the world's most successful movie franchise of all-time became the most-snubbed top-grossing franchise of all-time... 12 nominations, zero wins.", "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them won the Best Costume Design honor at the 2017 Oscars. This award marks the first Oscar the Harry Potter universe film franchise has ever won." ,

 * Symbol possible vote.svg A couple of issues: first, the hook is far above the absolute maximum for a DYK: 254 prose characters as written, vs. the maximum of 200. Also, the hook clearly is using exact phrases from the source yet not quoting it, which is also not allowed. I have struck the original hook; please propose an ALT1 hook so this nomination can proceed. Thanks. (I do wonder about the "snubbed" bit; it's not a very encyclopedic way of saying what happened, and snubbing frequently means not being nominated at all.)

 * ALT1:... that the J. K. Rowling's Wizarding World franchise was the "most-snubbed franchise" of all time at the Academy Awards, with 12 nominations and zero wins, until it won in 2017?
 * How about this? Many sources use the word "snubbed" to describe the franchise's lack of Oscars.     - Brojam (talk) 18:15, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT2:... that the J. K. Rowling's Wizarding World franchise had the most nominations without winning for a top-grossing franchise at the Academy Awards, with 12 nominations, until it won in 2017?
 * Or something along the lines of this? - Brojam (talk) 18:15, 23 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed now that ALT hooks have been proposed. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:10, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Date and length OK. I prefer ALT1 as the sources do state that it was "snubbed". QPQ not needed as nominator only has 1 credit. No close paraphrasing. Good to go.   The C of E  God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 17:04, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
