Joey:

I too feel that way for the most part except for the character of Rita Skeeter. I was quite surprised that not even a single mention of her name was made in the first 3 books especially PoA where Fudge was shown to be worrying about Daily Prophet's reports regarding MoM's ability to capture Black.
