The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore is biography of Albus Dumbledore that was written by Rita Skeeter.
Though it ran 900 pages in length, Skeeter completed the book only four weeks after Dumbledore's death in June 1997, meaning that it was probably published in July of that year.
The book contained some controversial, though partially true, revelations about the Dumbledore and his family. As such, it was widely discussed, and opinions toward it were polarized. Some people, such as Ron's Auntie Muriel, praised Skeeter, while others, such as Elphias Doge and Harry Potter, were furious over Skeeter's conspicuous attempt to impugn Dumbledore's character.
An article concerning The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore was published in the Daily Prophet, which was made more-so into an interview of Rita Skeeter about her views on her book. This, of course, was also a bit of an advertisement, as the interview was published before the book was released.
