Harry Potter Help!?!
Question:
Harry Potter Help!?
Right, so the release of the 7th and final book is upon us *celebrate* and my friend is, for the midnight release, dressing up as Luna Lovegood, and I have volunteered to make her a version of The Quibbler for her to carry around. Does anyone have any advice on how to do this? Like, being as accurate to the book as possible, about articles and such that were in it...and how I should do it. Also, if you know any pictures that would help in the process, it would be helpful. Thanks!
Answers:
Remind her that she has to read it upside down--many of the stories have ancient runes in them that are supposed to reveal secrets when read upside down. I also included the info from Wikipedia because it contains several of the Quibbler's articles:
The Quibbler is a magazine first mentioned in Order of the Phoenix.
The magazine's editor Lovegood is the father of Hogwarts student Luna Lovegood. The Quibbler is comparable to real-life absurd tabloids such as the Weekly World News, although the topics covered may be more like the Fortean Times. Quibbler mainstays are conspiracy theories and cryptozoology. Articles in The Quibbler have claimed that Fudge has goblins cooked in pies, and uses the Department of Mysteries to develop terrible poisons, which he supposedly feeds to people who disagree with him, and that he has a secret army of fire-demons called "heliopaths". Numerous probably imaginary beasts are mentioned in the Quibbler, such as Crumple-horned Snorkacks (which supposedly live in Sweden and cannot fly), the Bibbering Humdinger, and Nargles (which are supposed to infest mistletoe).
In Order of the Phoenix, Hermione Granger blackmails Rita Skeeter into writing an article about Harry Potter's encounter with Lord Voldemort. The interview is published by Lovegood, and he later sells it to the Daily Prophet for a very good price (enough to finance an expedition to Sweden to hunt for the Crumple-horned Snorkack).
