"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts. |
The Guardian was a British Muggle daily newspaper. A few days after the attack on the Millennium Bridge in early July 1996, patrons at Treats were seen reading various papers, including The Guardian. That day, a large photo of the ruins of the bridge was featured on the front page,[1][2] under the headline "Bridge disaster hits London."[2]
Other front-page headlines from that day's issue were:[2]
- "Bill Clinton: Exclusive interview on his European tour"
- "Fresh and wild: Can you eat too much fruit?"
- "US award to Dalai Lama angers China"
- "25% of NHS trust fail on hygiene code"
- "IVF doctors: don't rely on frozen eggs"
- "Rotherham in good shape for season"
Behind the scenes
- The Guardian is a real-world UK newspaper founded in 1821.[3]
- The masthead of the prop Guardian featured in the film adaptation of Half-Blood Prince — single font, lowercase, two colours — was introduced in 2005, making its appearance in the movie anachronistic, given that it is set in 1996.[4] However, the headline referring to Bill Clinton, president of the United States from 1993-2001, is in keeping with the canonical timeline.
