Harry nämnde Horcruxes offentligt innan den mörka Herren dog.
Även om det inte är klart om ordet sprids, nämner Harry Horcruxes framför en folkmassa på Hogwarts.
“Nobody,’ said Harry simply. ‘There are no more Horcruxes. It’s just you and me. Neither can live while the other survives, and one of us is about to leave for good …”
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 36 (The Flaw in the Plan)
Harry sa det framför en tyst och tittade på publiken, så det är möjligt att de hörde och skulle komma ihåg.
“The crowd was afraid, and silence fell abruptly and completely as Voldemort and Harry looked at each other, and began, at the same moment, to circle each other.
‘I don’t want anyone else to try to help,’ Harry said loudly, and in the total silence his voice carried like a trumpet call. ‘It’s got to be like this. It’s got to be me.”

Den dagliga profeten säger att det finns en profetia, och sannolikt om Harry.
Dagens profet rapporterar att många i trollkarlen misstänker att Death Eaters bröt in för att stjäla en profetia, och ytterligare spekulera det handlar om Harry, och att Harry heter som den enda som kan besegra den mörka herren i den .“Though Ministry spokeswizards have hitherto refused even to confirm the existence of such a place, a growing number of the wizarding community believe that the Death Eaters now serving sentences in Azkaban for trespass and attempted theft were attempting to steal a prophecy. The nature of that prophecy is unknown, although speculation is rife that it concerns Harry Potter, the only person ever known to have survived the Killing Curse, and who is also known to have been at the Ministry on the night in question. Some are going so far as to call Potter the ‘Chosen One’, believing that the prophecy names him as the only one who will be able to rid us of He Who Must Not Be Named.”

Inbrytningen vid ministeriet rapporteras i dagsprofeten.
Det nämns i Dagens profet att anledningen till att ministeriet plötsligt har erkänt att den mörka Herren hade återvänt var att det uppenbarligen var ett inbrott där.
“Details of the events that led to the Ministry turnaround are still hazy, though it is believed that He Who Must Not Be Named and a select band of followers (known as Death Eaters) gained entry to the Ministry of Magic itself on Thursday evening.”
