insertion of headcanon in the "pureblood culture" section

Two parts of the article in the section on pureblood culture are solely taken from headcanons, one being an excerpt from a fannish encyclopedia called encylopaediaarcana (Tumblr):

Purebloods often teach magic use to their children, although this is not always done and is frowned upon by magical authorities. Purebloods often value their bloodline and have influence in certain magical ministries, which can give them advantages over other magical groups, such as half-bloods and muggle-borns. Pureblood culture is not accessible to outsiders, as purebloods often try to maintain a sense of apartness

While the other part comes from user Green53468's HPFanfiction subreddit:

Purebloods often celebrate pagan holidays such as Samhain and Yule instead of Halloween and Christmas.

I believe it would be interesting to have a closer look from a gardener who is more experienced than me in editing and obviously in English who could fix this, because the use of headcanons as if they were canon texts on the topic can give the wrong impression to us readers of the site -- Ellakbhesse (talk) 18:02, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

I've added some text to make the source of these statements more clear. --Auntags (talk) 09:41, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
