On this freaky Friday we bring you a The Quibbler, a magazine full of “all the news you won’t find anywhere else”! You can read it right here (and if you need directions on how to navigate the document, click here). The first edition, here just in time to celebrate Friday 13th, is right here!

This magazine has been written by Leaky staffers and was the brainchild of our forum mod, Rudius Hagrid; it was produced with help from Chloe, Evreka, Mary Wanguard, Doris, Lunesta, libbysmom, Dreamteam, Moose_Starr, LunasLion, Dragonsinger, danae24, SeverineSnape, Isabel, Jamie, Iheartprofessorsnape, The Azkaban Dietician, rowena r and Makani.

In this edition you can find information on Ministry conspiracies, missing DADA professors, and how to increase your intelligence by being hit by fruit. Useful information for all! Enjoy!

This is wonderful! But I want a material copy, one I can get in the mail and keep on my shelf as a keepsake. Is there anyway to make this into a real magazine? I would subscribe! Where do I sign up?

Severitis,

We’ve added a zip file on the info page of The Quibbler for anyone who might prefer a hard copy. You can find that here. http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/fun/quibbler

Thanks for the idea!

I’m glad you guys are enjoying it – it was a lot of fun to do.

I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised someone else had the idea first of doing one of these – but in my defence I didn’t know that it was done before.

This is my gift to HP fandom: something to laugh about and enjoy again after the stress of recent events.

Which brings me on to the idea of a printed edition: I’d rather not. We can offer the Quibbler for free in this format and if it gets printed people have to pay. That’s somewhere we just dont want to go.

It’s great fun and I love you all, but how do you expect me to navigate this flash technology at work without being observed by those who think I’m actually working?
