"There is only one wizarding newspaper in Britain, discounting such small circulation publications such as The Quibbler. The Daily Prophet, whose headquarters are in Diagon Alley, is delivered by owl on a daily basis to nearly every wizarding household in Britain."
— Description of the newspaper[src]

The Daily Prophet was a wizarding newspaper based in London, England and was the primary source of news for British and Irish wizards.[1] The latest known Editor in Chief was Barnabas Cuffe,[2] who worked in the main office located in Diagon Alley.[1]

Because of the newspaper's ability to influence the minds of many in the British and Irish wizarding communities, it had been known to print slanted-content at the request of the British Ministry of Magic, in an effort to publicise the Ministry's preferred versions of ongoing events and political agendas.

Unfortunately, the Prophet did not seem to have a lot of journalistic integrity, as it had been known to be more concerned about sales than the factual accuracy and reporting of ongoing events,[1] especially when it came to one of their journalists, Rita Skeeter, who frequently made up fake quotes for her stories.[3]

The paper featured a morning and evening edition, the latter of which was called the Evening Prophet. The weekend edition was called the Sunday Prophet. Additional news bulletins could be delivered quickly when important, newsworthy events occurred. As news changed, an edition might magically change, too, over the course of the day, probably by means of a Protean Charm.[1]

Overview[]

Distribution[]

There was only one wizarding newspaper in Britain (discounting such small circulation publications such as The Quibbler). The Daily Prophet, whose headquarters were in Diagon Alley, was delivered by owl on a daily basis to nearly every wizarding household in Britain. Payment was effected by placing coins in the pouch tied to the paper-owl's leg.

The Evening Prophet

Occasionally (when something particularly interesting or exciting happened, such as the illegal flight of a Ford Anglia the length of Britain) an Evening Prophet edition would be rushed out. Subscriptions to the paper cost 1 Knut. This paper was not only delivered to the wizards' houses, but was also likely delivered to their schools, as it was delivered to professors and a few students at Hogwarts in the mornings, when the owl post arrived.[1]

The Prophet was not the only publication in wizarding Britain, obviously, but it was almost certainly the most widely read. Stories in the Prophet often coloured public opinion to a great amount. When the Prophet published stories deriding Harry Potter and Dumbledore, most people in the Wizarding World believed what they read. The most widely read alternative newspaper in the wizarding world was The Quibbler.[1]

Aside from owls, copies of the Daily Prophet were also available via newspaper vendors in the British Ministry of Magic Headquarters.[4]

Journalistic integrity[]

"Anyway, such rumours this summer. Of course, one doesn't know what to believe, the Prophet has been known to print inaccuracies, make mistakes..."
Horace Slughorn regarding the Daily Prophet[src]
Rita Skeeter 2

Rita Skeeter, a journalist from the Daily Prophet

While the Daily Prophet had been known to print facts, it had also had a somewhat negative reputation for being incredibly biased, corrupt, and deceptive as well, reaching the point that the only thing that matters is benefiting from false or true news.

It is clear that, as there was strong government control of the newspaper, as they view Ministry of Magic propaganda as the highest bidder aiming for profit, the facts could be misleading, if not outright fabrications, and that certain means of gathering information appeared to be somewhat unethical. Government control of the Ministry was shown in the way that the Daily Prophet appeared to pressure the government and go around official sources, and several people in Harry's circles felt that the Ministry of Magic "leaned heavily" on Prophet.[1]

In general, its business policy is based on supporting any campaign and political propaganda of the Ministry, whether fair or not, only for economic benefits.

In other instances, the Daily Prophet had misleading journalism — information that, while accurate in fact, led readers to the wrong conclusion. There were also occasions when the newspaper was seen to contain inaccurate or libellous content. It appeared that there was little regard for accuracy in any form, and no consequences or accountability for poor journalistic practices.[5]

The Daily Prophet's unethical means of gathering information were most accurately seen with Rita Skeeter, a prominent but corrupt journalist who wrote with a complete disregard for accuracy, truthfulness and objectivity — often conducting interviews with a Quick Quotes Quill, a magical quill that wrote automatically as the subject spoke.[3] However, the quill did not record verbatim what the subject said. Instead, it took a subject's words and created sensational and inaccurate tales that bore little resemblance to actual events.[6] In addition, Skeeter illegally turned herself into a beetle to spy on people and get personal information from them without being seen.[7]

Ministry Advertisements From The Daily Prophet concept art2

Daily Prophet Ministry advertisements

The Daily Prophet reported on everything going on in the wizarding world (albeit not always in an unbiased way). In addition to news, the Daily Prophet included a Magizoology column which was run every Wednesday and a Quidditch section which featured a boxed table of all the teams in the league, ranked by total number points scored, with forthcoming matches listed side by side. This section also included articles on recent matches and other items of interest.[1]

Wizardkind tended not to require alternative political flavours in its news coverage (which is not to say, however, that the Prophet did not have a political agenda). As a small, outsider and occasionally beleaguered community, wizards were, by and large, interested in the same kinds of stories: whether anyone was in trouble for infractions of the International Statute of Secrecy, what irritating legislation the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office had come up with now, and when the next Celestina Warbeck/Weird Sisters concert would take place.[1]

Ministry Advertisements From The Daily Prophet concept art

Daily Prophet business advertisements

There was also an editorial section of the newspaper, where only few got responses, and were usually brief. The best letter was under the headline STAR LETTER. A classified advertisements section was in the newspaper, with subheadings of JOBS, FOR SALE, and LONELY HEARTS. Birth and death notices also appeared on this page. The advice section of the Prophet had a variety of experts in differing fields answer readers' questions. Some topics covered in the past had been Medical Queries, Emotional Dilemmas, Legal Problems, and everyday magical problems. Sometimes, the Daily Prophet had a "fiendishly difficult" crossword puzzle, and usually had a Magic Lottery and a Magical Symbols Game.

The Daily Prophet also allowed advertisements in their newspaper by businesses. Some of these ads included: Nimbus brooms, clothing, Floo Powder accelerator, and O.W.L. crammers. The Ministry also used ad space in the Prophet. The Ministry posted various warnings, classes on advanced Defensive spells, and spells that could be used to safeguard your home.

The Daily Prophet also included a list of the current best-selling books in the wizarding world.[8][9][10]

Evening Prophet[]

The Evening Prophet was the name of the evening edition of the Daily Prophet. Presumably, this edition included different features, compared to the morning edition or Sunday Prophet.[1]

Evening editions could apparently be delivered very quickly after an important story broke. A witch or wizard anywhere in Britain could have a copy in hand within a short time of publication. For example, when Ron Weasley and Harry Potter were spotted by Muggles flying the Ford Anglia, Snape had a copy of the Hogwarts story clenched in his hand after they arrived. One of the Muggles who spotted them was in Peebles, which is relatively close to Hogwarts, so the story couldn't have been more than an hour old at that point.[11]

Sunday Prophet[]

The Sunday Prophet was the name of the weekend edition of the Daily Prophet. Presumably, this edition included different features, compared to the daily edition.

History[]

Creation[]

The Daily Prophet had been producing papers since 1743,[12] the year when it famously described Gideon Flatworthy, head of an extremist anti-Muggle group, as "less a wizard, more a lazy walrus-like object who lies all day on a rather smelly cushion, and expects people to admire him for it".[13]

Early articles[]

In 1783, the Daily Prophet reported the murder of Hamish Steed as a result of Flannery's murderous rampage, claiming that, even though Steed was under the protection of the Ministry of Magic at the time, Flannery had used an ancient spell to track him down. Despite the Ministry's recording of all issues of the Daily Prophet, a copy of the issue reporting Steed's murder was not included in their archives.[14]

Early 20th century[]

DailyProphet-29November1926

The Daily Prophet from 29 November 1926

The Daily Prophet covered the rise of Gellert Grindelwald's rise to power, questioning if then Minister for Magic Hector "Flamboyant" Fawley was doing enough and detailing the increased security measures taken at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Recent history[]

A copy of the Daily Prophet was included for free with breakfast at the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley.[15]

On 31 July 1991, the day Rubeus Hagrid introduced Harry Potter to the wizarding world, he told Harry to pay five Knuts, instead of one Knut, for the Daily Prophet when an owl brought it.[16]

The Prophet said once in 1995 that it would be three degrees and foggy in Amsterdam. It also stated it would be thirty-seven degrees and foggy in Cuenca.[17] In 1996, the Prophet offered "Hocus Tokens", small pullout cards used in contests or for product rebate.[18][19] Also this year, Hermione Granger used a Daily Prophet to hit Harry Potter over the head in the Hogwarts Library when he commented that he was The Chosen One and that gave Romilda Vane the right to be interested in him.[20]

Ministry of Magic's denial[]

"All right, Fudge is leaning on the Prophet, but it comes to the same thing. They won't print a story that shows Harry in a good light. Nobody wants to read it. It's against the public mood. This last Azkaban breakout has got people quite worried enough. People just don't want to believe You-Know-Who's back."
— The Daily Prophet's role during the campaign to discredit Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter[src]
Daily prophet the boy who lies

A Daily Prophet article showing the Ministry in Denial

During the Ministry's campaign to discredit and slander Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter, the Prophet was an instrumental tool of the Ministry in their goal to convince the public that Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter were fear-mongering or simply mad. The Ministry of Magic was responsible for the unfair journalism of that summer as Cornelius Fudge strove to discredit Dumbledore's account of the return of Lord Voldemort.[5]

Hermione Granger subscribed to the paper to keep on top of the Ministry's agenda and see what the enemy was saying.[5] Some people, such as Augusta Longbottom, cancelled their subscriptions due to believing in Dumbledore and Harry over the Ministry.[21] Originally, Harry kept getting his subscription only to skim through the front page for information about Voldemort's movements, as he was unaware of the Ministry's denial. Because of this he missed out on the slip-ins of him and Dumbledore being antagonised.[5] Upon realising what was happening, Harry ceased his subscription.

After Fudge was forced to admit that Voldemort had returned, the Prophet changed its stance overnight, calling Harry "a lone voice of truth". The newspaper even bought, from The Quibbler, Harry's interview on Voldemort's return and claimed it to be exclusive.[22]

Second Wizarding War[]

DeathEaterTerrorContinues

The Daily Prophet article during the Second Wizarding War announcing the terror brought on the Death Eaters

After the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and the Ministry was forced to accept the rebirth of Lord Voldemort, the Daily Prophet reported on all the tragedy and terror affecting wizards and Muggles alike.[23] This included reporting the murder of Amelia Bones and Emmeline Vance,[23] the wrongful arrest of Stan Shunpike,[24] and the arrest of Mundungus Fletcher for impersonating an Inferius.[25]

When the Death Eaters took over the Ministry, they also took over the Daily Prophet,[26] and they subsequently stopped reporting deaths that Death Eaters were responsible for.[27] They also printed biased, bogus news such as articles on Muggle-borns stealing magic from true wizards.[28] As such, many resistance members turned to other programmes for news, such as Potterwatch[29] and The Quibbler.[30]

When Kingsley Shacklebolt became Minister for Magic in 1998, the Daily Prophet was de-corrupted, as Voldemort no longer controlled the wizarding world.

Post-war[]

The Daily Prophet covered the hiring of Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger, three heroes of the Battle of Hogwarts, to the British Ministry of Magic.[31]

In June 2006, the Daily Prophet published an announcement of the wedding of Department of Magical Law Enforcement employees Grim Fawley and Penelope Padgett in West Bromwich the previous Sunday, including a photograph of the happy couple in the article.[14]

The Daily Prophet later covered the Ministry investigation into the disappearance of the London Five in 2015, listing the names of the disappeared as Riya Patel, Timothy Hale, Kit Gerrard, Genevieve Bladt, and Penelope Fawley, with Gerrard in particular being one of the paper's reporters. The paper eventually reported on the Ministry's closure of the investigation after failing to find any leads, questioning how an investigation led by "the famous Harry Potter" could find no evidence to provide to the distraught families of the disappeared. However, they also reported that it would be easier to "find a Bowtruckle in a pile of twigs" than it would be to find the people that had gone missing.[14]

The Calamity[]

During the Calamity in the late 2010s and early 2020s, the Daily Prophet reported on the latest developments and theories emerging from the British Ministry of Magic, providing a vital source of information and helping to recruit many members for the Statute of Secrecy Task Force. Daily Prophet issues regularly became Foundables, which Minister for Magic Hermione Granger theorised was due to the public's desperate desire for the next issue to find out the latest news on the Calamity.[14]

As a result of the Calamity, the Daily Prophet shifted to focus solely on hard news, reducing the size of its editions. In response to an outcry from wizarding pubs about the lack of newspaper to be used as wrappers for fish and chips, a Calamity Investigator working for the Statute of Secrecy Task Force convinced Xenophilius Lovegood to allow The Quibbler to be used as alternative wrapping. The Daily Prophet also later issued a scathing article about "uncontrollable inmates" at Azkaban, leading to the same Calamity Investigator visiting the prison with Dark Detectors to assess the level of inmate misbehaviour. Their investigation found that, while newer inmates were viciously scheming, the older inmates, who had previously been guarded by Dementors, remained docile.[14]

Kennilworthy Whisp later wrote an article in the Daily Prophet regarding which broomstick was most historically important in Quidditch. The article received a massive, vitriolic response from Quidditch fans, reminding the same Calamity Investigator of the power of sport.[14]

The Statute of Secrecy Task Force later discovered a clipping of the Daily Prophet article covering Hamish Steed's murder. Sage Bragnam thought this story was implausible and that the Daily Prophet's report was a product of exaggeration, but found it odd that the issue containing the Steed murder article was not included in the Ministry archives. However, the task force theorised that Grim Fawley may have drawn inspiration from the report to find his missing wife. The same Calamity Investigator read this article and studied Flannery's ancient spell to increase the number of times they could cast the Trace Charm in quick succession.[14]

In July 2019, the Daily Prophet published a feature article on Harry Potter and his work with the Statute of Secrecy Task Force. Hermione later theorised that the Calamity's recent surge of Foundables related to Harry was the result of the article drawing public attention and focus to Harry, resulting in an alteration of the Calamity itself. Harry also claimed that the paper was regularly criticising the Ministry handling of the Calamity, with himself questioning whether or not the Daily Prophet was right.[31]

In April 2020, the Daily Prophet included the travel guide One Hundred Historical Sites from the Second Wizarding War on its Bestsellers List, resulting in wizarding tourists continuing to flood to The Burrow as a result of its inclusion in the guide.[10]

In the spring of 2021, the Unforgivable threatened Harry and Hermione after the two began wrenching control of Calamity surges away from the cabal. The two feared that their children would be targeted, but Harry insisted on continuing to fight against the Unforgivable. Harry redirected a Calamity surge and controlled it using memories of the Marauders. In response, an Unforgivable member infiltrated the Daily Prophet office by using Polyjuice Potion to disguise themself as the paper's editor-in-chief in April and attacked Ginny Potter. Ginny was able to fight off the attacker due to having noticed that her editor-in-chief appeared to be behaving oddly, although they managed to escape. She was taken to St Mungo's for treatment, with the Healers there claiming that she was exhausted and banged up but would recover quickly. However, the Unforgivable were successful in abducting her brother, Ron.[32]
