 * The article in question is "semi-protected" - when looking at the article, note the silver-colored lock icon in the upper right. This means that to edit the article, you need a Wikipedia account that is at least four days old and has 10 edits to articles.  Not very many articles on Wikipedia are semi-protected; articles get semi-protected when they are the subject of persistent vandalism and semi-protection would cut it down.  Since you appear to be new to Wikipedia, how about trying some small edits on other pages of interest, until the 4-day period is done and you can try your hand at the Deathly Hallows article?

Children's cartoon movie
I'm trying to remember the name of an animated children's movie I half-remember. It would predate CGI animation - I would have watched it in the early 90s but I think it dated from much earlier. I remember at one point a character encountering a spinning, talking regular dodecahedron (possibly by a river and a stone cliff, perhaps guarding something and needing some sort of mathematical trick to be performed?). I think the cartoon also involved the character passing through an area called the doldrums (not set in the real world, however). Sorry there's not much to go on, but does anyone have any idea what I might be thinking of? Angus Lepper(T, C) 16:11, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The Phantom Tollbooth featured an area called the Doldrums; did you see a movie based on the book? Tempshill (talk) 16:23, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * There was indeed a rather nice animated movie of the book, which stayed pretty close to the original plot and featured the Doldrums and also a talking Dodecahedron. I'm pretty sure this is what you saw.  Ka renjc 18:32, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * That's it, thank you! :-) Angus Lepper(T, C) 21:58, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
