Which means  you may've missed the fact that the article about Hermione
wasn't in the DP - it was in Witch Weekly, which feels more like a tabloidy
magazine, with recipes and famous-people gossip, than the regular paper.
That was a tabloid article. The ones about Hagrid, or hypothesizing about
Harry's mental state, could be more akin to the sort of articles found in a
real paper - I don't want to draw parallels to US politics & run afoul of
the list, but it didn't seem awkward or unbelievable to me for a mainstream
newspaper to run articles that don't give all the facts. 

Ebony, any thoughts?
