The Daily Prophet

For wizarding world celebrities like Gilderoy Lockhart, being covered by The Daily Prophet is something to aspire to. That’s why Lockhart is so excited to see Harry enter Flourish & Blotts as he signs copies of his autobiography. ‘Together, you and I are worth the front page,’ he tells Harry, as a Prophet photographer snaps their picture.

When you’re as fame-hungry as Lockhart, such excitement is understandable. Those in the magical community don’t watch television or engage with internet culture, so even today, The Daily Prophet remains one of the only channels guaranteed to be seen by most of the UK’s wizarding population. This makes it very influential, both as a source of news and of gossip. Because as Lockhart instinctively understands – and as Harry finds out – gossip has a currency all of its own.
