Ch. 182Das Kapital
Gilderoy Lockhart recruited Xenophilius Lovegood to use The Quibbler to expose the Ministry of Magic and organize oppressed wizards against capital. He gave Xenophilius Das Kapital and asked him to gather contributors for a reading conference.
- Lockhart told Xenophilius that revolution, rather than mild reform, was necessary to overthrow capital’s control of the Ministry.
- Lockhart proposed using The Quibbler to publish his Harry Potter novels, jokes mocking the Ministry, and reader submissions about the lives of lower-class wizards and Ministry secrets.
- Xenophilius agreed to the three sections and to preserving contributors’ contact details so they could become future allies.
- Lockhart asked Xenophilius to gather the contributors for a reading conference and handed him Das Kapital by Karl Heinrich Marx.
