Xenophilius Lovegood

Mr. Lovegood is the editor of the magazine The Quibbler and the father of Luna Lovegood. He shares his daughter’s strange beliefs. Mr. Lovegood and his daughter may live somewhere around the village of Ottery St. Catchpole. When Luna was nine her mother, Mrs. Lovegood, died in a spell experiment. Mr. Lovegood and Luna attended the 1994 Quidditch World Cup and had camped there for a week. Mr. Lovegood agreed to publish Harry's story about the night he saw Lord Voldemort return, and sent Harry a free copy. This was the fastest selling edition of The Quibbler, even being reprinted at least once before Mr. Lovegood sold it to the Daily Prophet even though he thinks it is an awful paper. They used the money gotten from selling the story to the Prophet to travel to Sweden over the summer to search for a Crumple-Horned Snorkack. According to Luna, her father only publishes stories that he thinks are important and needed to know by the public. She also said that her father does not care about making money, and that she does not think he pays people to write for The Quibbler and that they do so because it is an honor and to see their name in print. Luna also said that her father is supportive of any anti-ministry action.
