The Prophet was not the only publication in wizarding Britain, obviously, but it was almost certainly the most widely read. This paper was not only delivered to the wizards' houses, but was also likely delivered to their schools, as it was delivered to professors and a few students at Hogwarts in the mornings, when the owl post arrived. Occasionally (when something particularly interesting or exciting happened, such as the illegal flight of a Ford Anglia the length of Britain) an Evening Prophet edition would be rushed out. Payment was effected by placing coins in the pouch tied to the paper-owl's leg.

The paper featured a morning and evening edition, the latter of which was called the Evening Prophet.

The latest known Editor in Chief was Barnabas Cuffe, who worked in the main office located in Diagon Alley. The Daily Prophet was a wizarding newspaper based in London, England and was the primary source of news for British and Irish wizards.
