The Ministry and the News
The Ministry
Believes what it wants to believe,
Giving all its fans a reprieve
Or maybe a raise
And ample praise,
All of which are meant to deceive.
Cornelius Fudge
There once was a leader named Fudge,
Who from his stupid ideas wouldn’t budge.
He put politics first,
And is always the worst,
Holding ‘gainst Harry a terrible grudge.
The Daily Prophet
A paper of constant mendacity,
Can’t stand the idea of true honesty;
It makes heroes bad,
Evil misread and sad,
Little more than a wet rag of pity.
Rita Skeeter
Tasteless eccentric and smug
Her Animagus form a bug
Her glasses are scary
And yet she helps Harry
After Granger keeps her in a jug.
The Quibbler
A news source exceedingly strange
Specializing in writings “free-range”
‘Bout Manatees
And Oliphantees
And the ways Gooschadas can get mange.
Random Muggle News
Doesn’t mention Harry at all,
Just stuff like foot and baseball.
He likes that well,
Yes thinks it’s swell,
If not in the very least helpful.
Witch Weekly
Five times had Lockhart best smile,
Oh, gag me and choke me with bile,
It’s that kind of thing
That praises does sing
Without any evidence on file.
