presents The Newest Daily Prophet Editor in Chief Named August, 2093 by:Robert Blackburn https://s26.postimg.org/4cgwankux/maxresdefault.jpg Diagon Alley- The Daily Prophet has gone through some very noticeable changes in the past six years. The departure of Basil Skeeter has seemed to place a curse on the position of editor in chief. It has left many associate editors wondering if they should even apply for the position when it comes available. The latest editor in chief handed in her resignation to return into retirement after just three years. Scout MacIntyre had been an associate editor for the prophet before she had retired only to come back and fill the position of standing editor in chief after the resignation of Tempus Folley. MacIntyre has decided that life is short and she wanted to travel and spend time with family. With her retirement, a new editor in chief has been named. |
presents Community Forum for Squibs rights formed September, 2093 by:Jorge Cristo De La Garza London-Despite the strides society has made in civil rights within the Wizarding community, there are still marginalized populations seeking equal rights and reformation. In particular, squibs have been fighting for equality in the Wizarding World for decades, and, according to sources at the Ministry, public interest is at an all time high. |

presents Fashion is in the Eye of the Beholder December, 2093 by: Corduroy Whitley After spending last week in the front row of Wizarding London Fashion Week, we’re excited to bring you some of the upcoming fashion trends of 2094. Don’t think you can pull off some of those runway looks? We asked some of WLFW’s biggest designers and fashion experts to look into their fashionable crystal balls and let us know what trends will move from runway to Diagon Alley next year. |
presents Arts in London: Focus on Framed! January, 2094 by:Casimir Windsor Coeus Miarkos moves slowly through his London gallery taking extra care to adjust a frame here or a metal piece there. His attention to detail and love of art is evident as I watch the 50-something Grecian go about his day to day routine. Preparing to open for the day, he says, is one of his favorite parts of the job. Not the big shows, I ask? “Oh no. Those are fun and always exciting, but this… this is what I love. The quiet before the bustle begins," he explains in his still heavily accented English. |
presents Rogue Portkeys Cause Concern January 2094 by: Kara St. Cloud Recent reports from the Muggle world indicate that a few Muggles have been transported by portkeys they have happened upon. Two such incidences have resulted in the death of the Muggles unlucky enough to have picked the rogue portkeys up. In one case, the portkey was set to send the transported to the bottom of the ocean. These rogue portkeys were made from things that Muggles consider valuable and therefore would be more likely to pick up, such as keys (little metal objects used to unlock doors) and mobile phones (rectangular objects used to communicate) as opposed to the normal portkey items like candy wrappers or discarded shoes. Whether or not these incidents are the result of carelessness, an untrained maker, or someone with ill intentions is unclear at this point. |
presents Nickels Wins the Election January, 2094 by: Liliana McQueen The Daily Prophet has gotten official word on the 2094 Minister for Magic election in favor of one Morgan P. Nickels. |
presents Fear Takes Over Hogwarts February, 2094 by: Brutus Trimble What was thought to have been a student prank quickly turned into something more sinister on Hallowe'en night as students stumbled upon an ominous sight -- no, the Chamber of Secrets has not been reopened. Shortly after the announcement that Hogwarts would be putting on a theatrical version of Beedle the Bard's "The Fountain of Fair Fortune," students and faculty discovered that a hawk had been painted on the ceiling above the school's primary bulletin board, dripping blood on innocent heads and staining the floor below. At the time, one could only assume the deeper meaning it represented. |
presents Curses Plague Hogwarts March, 2094 by: Opal Mainwaring It was a bold choice for the Hogwarts Drama Club to elect to put on The Fountain of Fair Fortune. The last time this play was performed proved to be the last performance on stage in the castle for many decades, ending in a fireball the special effects team of a Wizarding West End show would be jealous of. Paul Myers, current Herbology Professor and director of the play, was asked about this weeks ago and seemed unfazed. "I know the play might be seen as 'bad luck,' but I think that’s all hippogriff dung. We're having fun with this play and jazzing up Hogwarts just a little bit along the way." |
presents Gobstones season wrap up April, 2094 by: Fate Fairwood While many people prefer the excitement and danger of Quidditch, there is also another game that has entranced Wizard Kind, Gobstones. A fun game played with little round stones, that almost look like the muggle game of marbles. Except in true wizarding fashion, instead of plain glass marbles and playing for fun. Gobstones are made of actual stone and every time a point is conceded, the winning stone lets loose a stream of nasty smelling liquid into the losers face. So fun, yeah? Certainly gives one motivation for not losing a point. |
presents American Invasion: Is Quodpot the New Quidditch? May, 2094 By Andrew Chae Quodpot: Students who attend Hogwarts grow up learning about this sport as a variation of modern day Quidditch. In America, however, Quodpot dominates the sports headlines. Sure, kids still play Quidditch and the cities have their own teams, and a National team to boot, but Quodpot took off in a way that no one anticipated when the Founding Fathers established America in the 18th century. Just like the Muggle sport of football (or soccer, as we Yanks refer to it as) fell in to obscurity once the two nations separated, a similar process happened in the Magical world. |
presents Threat Writer Reprimanded, Hogwarts Quidditch Ban to Be Lifted June, 2094 by: Brutus Trimble Just over a decade ago, Hogwarts, the Ministry, and the Daily Prophet received threatening letters from an anonymous writer demanding that Quidditch be stopped or face deadly consequences. Since then the sport has been disbanded at Hogwarts to protect students from being targeted, the Ministry drastically increased security throughout the League to continue running matches as scheduled and keep hundreds employeed, and a team of skilled Magical Law Enforcement employees have been hard at work to pinpoint the exact identity of the writer. The wizarding world has been on high alert, unnervingly waiting for the writer to strike again. |
presents New Company to give Knight Bus competition July, 2094 by:Jorge Cristo De La Garza When any witch or wizard finds themselves stranded or without a way home, the Knight Bus has been the most reliable wizarding service since the late 1800’s. All wizards or witches have to do is hold their wands up at the curb and the Knight Bus will appear. With a system that works so well, should there be other forms of public transportation in the wizarding world? |
presents The Wizarding World Trade Show is coming to London July, 2094 by: Tomasina Jayne Michaels The Magical Department of International Cooperation within the British Ministry of Magic has been extremely busy with preparations for the upcoming International Tradeshow. This yearly event has been in many places all over the world and Department Head Erec Delacroix didn't stop working until he won the bid to have the 2094 show right here in London on the 6th of July. Vendors from all over the world will be gathering at the Abhaydatta Convention center, debuting the newest and latest products that the wizarding world has to offer! |
presents An exclusive interview with the Board of Governors' Addy Hutchinson August, 2094 by: Arabella Morgenstern Addy Hutchinson walks into the Leaky Cauldron looking sharp.

presents Goblins In a Stew Over Service Refusal in Wizarding Pub August, 2094 by:Bryan Stanley A group of goblins refused a table at Carkitt Market pub, The Cackling Stump, this past Saturday is a clear goblin rights breach, activist Margaret Qwindel says. |
presents Portkey Criminal Caught September, 2094 by: Robert Blackburn Taylor Morton, 39, has been apprehended by Auror Tempest Chandler and arrested by for the rogue Portkey situation, which has been ongoing for nearly a year now. Responsible with the deaths of no less than three Muggles and the murder attempt upon Transportation Head Lynley Purcell’s seven-year-old adopted son, he will most likely be locked away for a long time. The Portkey Killer, as many have dubbed him, confessed to his crimes in full to Chandler and is currently being held is Azkaban as he awaits trial. |
presents The Bachelor comes to the Wizarding World October, 2094 by: Gerald Rush Based on a popular reality show from muggle television many years ago, The Bachelor: Wizard Edition has made its first debut in 2093. Seven contestants participated to fight for the bachelor’s heart. The contestants came from a variety of backgrounds, and include a fashion designer, a healer, and a businesswoman, among others. Every contestant got an opportunity to spend a lovely evening with the bachelor on a mysterious date with the purpose of getting to know each other better. On the last day, our bachelor gave a rose to one woman as a sign that he was interested to continue pursuing a relationship with her. |
