Weren't these articles in a different magazine?
The name escapes me atm.
Witch Weekly?

A kind of magazine, comparable to the ones in the
Muggleworld, where you *know* most of the stuff is overblown
gossip ;)

Well, I sure hope there are some level headed people in the
WW who *don't* believe everything in this kind of magazine
is the truth and nothing but the truth.

I was a little angry at Molly for believing at least part of
it. Didn't like having this cliche image of the "stay at
home and read gossip magazines" attached to her.
