Snippets from the Daily Prophet Who: Daily Prophet Articles When: July 1st, 2024, Morning Edition

We here at the Prophet are sad to report the untimely passing of Filius Flitwick. The former Headmaster of Hogwarts fell ill and given his age, there was nothing the healers could do for him. He passed away quietly. Funeral services will be held the weekend of July 4th; attendance will be open to the public.
This does leave an opening to be filled. In an move that is not without precedent, the Ministry of Magic is vying to place one of it's own members of the Board of Governors into the position. Astoria Malfoy, while not available for comment, is rumored to be their chosen candidate.
Hogwarts own Professor of Herbology, Neville Longbottom, is the rumored favorite candidate; time alone will tell whether witch or wizard will be responsible for the education of our young witches and wizards.
