Rita Skeeter's efficiency was astonishing. By the following morning, the Daily Prophet's front-page headline featured her interview with Albert.

In the paper, Albert was portrayed as a genius who could still win the championship through talent and skill even when faced with unfair competition, leaving a favorable impression on the public.

However, Albert was not the main subject of this issue of the Daily Prophet. That honor went to President Bernard, who had been mentioned in passing.

He never thought there could be too much experience or too many rewards.
