The Quibbler is a Wizarding World tabloid newspaper. Xenophilius Lovegood is the current editor (OP10). Every month, a new issue is released (OP26). It contains news about the goings-on in Hogwarts and around the world. The paper was first published in December of 1994 by Harry Potter creator J K Rowling under the name "The Prophet". She later changed it to the Quibbler when she realized that it sounded like a wizard magazine. The name comes from the American tabloid newspaper, the Quill, which also prints bland information designed to lure readers with gossip and scandal. Harry Potter fans have often speculated what kind of stories might have appeared in the early issues of The Quibbler. One popular theory is that J K Rowling may have printed some of her own articles here before she became famous. Another suggestion is that she might have written reviews of the first few Harry Potter films! In November of 1995, The Quibbler began publishing weekly instead of monthly. This was because J K Rowling was now able to take more time off work and wanted to enjoy life while she could still go to school full-time. In April of 1996, The Quibbler started printing copies worldwide instead of only in America.
