Carol:
Then again the Quibbler also said that Fudge had an army of heliopaths
and that he has ordered goblins to be baked in pies. I'm not so sure
that we can trust a Quibbler headline as an accurate prediction of the
way things are going to happen in the books. We do know that there
will be a new minister of magic, presumably in Book 6 but possibly in
Book 7, but that's from the March 4 chat, a more reliable source than
a cute headline in the Rumours section of JKR's new Web site.

I did note, though, that the Quibbler ad was on the right-hand side of
the page, under "Exclusives" rather than "Gossip." For those of you
who don't have hours to spend waiting for Peeves to strike and
pursuing those elusive clues (neither do I!), the ad also refers to
the Quibbler as "the Wizarding World's Alternative Voice" and asks,
with reference to the Fudge article, "Can you afford NOT to read it?"

Carol, who wonders whether Lupin has read the ad for Madam Malkin's
self-ironing and self-mending robes (too bad only the super-sized
robes are on sale for half price)
