This is wonderful! But I want a material copy, one I can get in the mail and keep on my shelf as a keepsake. Is there anyway to make this into a real magazine? I would subscribe! Where do I sign up?

Severitis,

We’ve added a zip file on the info page of The Quibbler for anyone who might prefer a hard copy. You can find that here. http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/fun/quibbler

Thanks for the idea!

I’m glad you guys are enjoying it – it was a lot of fun to do.

I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised someone else had the idea first of doing one of these – but in my defence I didn’t know that it was done before.

This is my gift to HP fandom: something to laugh about and enjoy again after the stress of recent events.

Which brings me on to the idea of a printed edition: I’d rather not. We can offer the Quibbler for free in this format and if it gets printed people have to pay. That’s somewhere we just dont want to go.

It’s great fun and I love you all, but how do you expect me to navigate this flash technology at work without being observed by those who think I’m actually working?

Indeed Borgin and Burkes IS in Knockturn alley. We shall be withholding payment from the advertising agency as a result. XD

Well spotted :)

It may not be staetd enough in the Quibbler, but public submissions are welcome: just send an owl to the email address supplied.

I downloaded the PDF zip file, but the first page is messed up. Anybody else have this problem or just me?

I think this is a great idea and thank you very much for the fun read Leaky!
