Which newspaper does J.K. Rowling’s character Luna Lovegood edit with her father?

The story behind the answer

Luna Lovegood edits The Quibbler with her father in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. The publication is owned and edited by Xenophilius Lovegood, and Luna helps with it after her father’s unconventional magazine becomes part of the story’s wider media landscape.

The Quibbler presents unusual claims and fringe theories, including stories that mainstream wizarding authorities reject. Despite its eccentric reputation, the magazine publishes Harry’s account of Lord Voldemort’s return when the Daily Prophet and officials attempt to discredit him. That decision gives Harry a public platform and shows Luna’s loyalty to him.

The Daily Prophet is the more influential mainstream wizarding newspaper, so readers sometimes confuse it with The Quibbler. Witch Weekly is another named publication in the series, but it is not the magazine associated with Luna and Xenophilius Lovegood. The Quibbler’s distinctive style also helps define Luna’s family and the story’s themes of truth, propaganda, and independent reporting.
