Rita Skeeter-Investigative Reporter

[Brian]

No: HPFGUIDX 45333

As far as yellow journalism in the WW goes, Rita Skeeter is 
apparently No. 1. With the aid of her quill, she can put a 
sensationalistic, inflammatory slant on an otherwise drab and boring 
story. What if she managed to come across a story so earth 
shattering, that it didn't require any embellishment?  Would she 
sacrifice the secrecy of her own animagi capabilities in order to 
tell this story? What could this story be? 

How about the presence of a convicted murderer/Azkaban 
escapee/unregistered animagi in the Hogwarts hospital wing 
conspiring with the Headmaster and a former Death Eater to embark 
upon a course of action contrary to the stated wishes of the 
Minister of Magic?

Rita Skeeter was there at the time!

Examine the final pages of the chapter entitled "The Parting Of The 
Ways", and ask yourself; "How much does she know", "Would she reveal 
her own secret to blow this story wide open?", "Which side is she 
going to wind up on?"

Answers to these questions, and many, many more, when OoP is 
released.
