Wizarding World or Harry Potter (Verse)?

Long story for short, I have seen the name "Wizarding World" in Wikipedia, which includes both Harry Potter series and Fantastic Beasts series. I don't know if it is suitable to replace "Harry Potter (Verse)" to "Wizarding World". As we have included Delphini (an theatre character) and Newt (a Fantastic Beasts series character), maybe the new name is more accurate, though I'm not sure.

Also, the redirection page can be used since many people mainly know the name "Harry Potter".
 
I agree with changing the verse page to Wizarding World, it's the official name Rowling uses to refer to her body of writing anyway.
Yeah that works, its the official term for the actual franchise so we should use it.
This does seems reasonable, but we need some stuff input too.
I must say that "Wizarding World" may somewhat lack a consistent definition. Wikipedia does include the novels but Harry Potter Wiki may not consider seven novels as Wizarding World. It is tricky.

I think in this case we make a distinction between "Wizarding World (Franchise)" and "Wizarding World (Verse)". The former is for the series of films, but the latter serves our purpose in describing the verse overall.

So Wizarding World should still be suitable for the name.
