Daily Prophet - letters to the editor
This whole situation is has got terribly overblown. That person in St. Mungo's is not Harry Potter. Mr. Potter couldn't be in St. Mungo's. My brother, Larry, saw him while in Atlantic City in the States, just last week. He was walking down the board walk with Stubby Boardman and they were having a lively discussion about slot machines. If anyone needs proof, my brother has a picture of them. It's a bit blurry and at a bad angle, but it's still quite clearly them.
I don't know why Mr. Potter would want to play dead and then have someone else pretend to be him in hospital. Maybe he's trying to solve some terrible plot. In which case I shouldn't really be sending this letter, should I? And Larry should destroy that picture....
Still, I feel better knowing Mr. Potter is out there watching over us. And having a good time of it too, I should think.

I cannot believe that people are still going on about Harry Potter coming back from the dead. He wasn't dead to begin with! It's not that unheard of, is it, for someone to be kidnapped and their death faked. I just feel horrible for those others caught up in the faking of it. So many killed and injured just to make us all think he was dead! Terrible!
What I want to know is why the Ministry is so silent about who did this and why? All we know are that Death Eaters were involved, and that the exhibit at that Dark Arts Museum has been put away for safe keeping. But does this mean that someone is actually trying to bring You Know Who back? The atmosphere of silence around this whole case is very disturbing. It's like it was back in the Second War when the Ministry refused to acknowledge that he was back for years. Are we to suffer through that kind of silence again? I don't think we should permit it. The Ministry is first and foremost here to serve the people, not tell us comfortable lies while doing nothing! It's Death Eaters; we know what it's like and we need to act now!

I would like to say that the apparent canonisation of Saint Potter which has gripped some people is utterly ridiculous. There's nothing miraculous about it. He's still dead and some poor fool has been made to look like him. It's a plot, I say, another plot, this time by the Ministry. And that's why his friends aren't talking and no one has seen pictures other than that one leaked to the press yesterday. And who's leaking them? Well, clearly one of the plotters!
Harry Potter is not resting comfortably at St. Mungo's. He is dead. He's passed on. The Boy Who Lived is no more. He has ceased to be. He has expired and gone to meet his maker! He's kicked the bucket, shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!! He is an ex-Potter!
And my children and grandchildren can all just stop lighting candles for him and singing songs and looking at me all disappointed when I don't join in. It's disturbing, is what it is.
