By Order of the Ministry of Magic

The publication of The Quibbler is here-by suspended until the TQ staff formerly apologizes for the slander and ridicule of Cornelius Oswald Fudge and Dolores Jane Umbridge.

Mr. Fudge and Ms. Umbridge are respectable members of the community, and these accusations have shaken them greatly.

Mr. Fudge has never had any intention of taking over the running of the Wizarding Bank, Gringotts. Nor has he ever “done in” a goblin by drowning them, dropping them off buildings, poisoning them, cooking them in pies or by any other means.

Ms. Umbridge is a very pleasant woman and has never done anything to harm her former students, regardless of what the TQ writers claim. She has never made Harry Potter write an unknown number of lines with a bloodsucking carnivorous quill, nor has she ever thought of using any illegal curses on any of her students, nor has she… done anything that this magazine states.

The above is in accordance with the Press Decree Number Forty-two.

Signed,
Cornelius Oswald Fudge,
