The Daily Prophet is a wizarding newspaper based in London. It is the primary source of news for British wizards. The paper has strong ties to the Ministry of Magic, which has been known to actively influence what is printed.

The Daily Prophet has been producing papers since 1883. The current editor is Barnabas Cuffe, who works in the main office at Diagon Alley.

The paper is delivered to subscribers by owl. This paper is delivered to Professors and a few students at Hogwarts in the mornings, when the Owl Post arrives. During the Ministry's campaign to discredit and smear Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter, Hermione Granger subscribed to the paper to keep on top of the Ministry's agenda. One Daily Prophet costs five Knuts.

The paper features a morning and evening edition, which is called the Evening Prophet. The weekend edition is called the Sunday Prophet. Additional news bulletins can be delivered quickly when important, news-worthy events occur. An edition may change as news changes during the day via magic, which may be a Protean Charm.
