Harry mencionou Horcruxes em público antes do Lorde das Trevas morrer.
Embora não esteja claro se a notícia se espalhou, Harry menciona Horcruxes na frente de uma multidão em Hogwarts.
“Nobody,’ said Harry simply. ‘There are no more Horcruxes. It’s just you and me. Neither can live while the other survives, and one of us is about to leave for good …”
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 36 (The Flaw in the Plan)
Harry disse que em frente a uma multidão silenciosa e assistindo, é possível que eles ouvissem e lembrassem.
“The crowd was afraid, and silence fell abruptly and completely as Voldemort and Harry looked at each other, and began, at the same moment, to circle each other.
‘I don’t want anyone else to try to help,’ Harry said loudly, and in the total silence his voice carried like a trumpet call. ‘It’s got to be like this. It’s got to be me.”

O Profeta Diário diz que existe uma profecia e provavelmente sobre Harry.
O Profeta Diário relata que muitos na comunidade bruxa suspeitam que os Comensais da Morte invadiram para roubar uma profecia, e especulam que é sobre Harry, e que Harry é nomeado como o único que pode derrotar o Lorde das Trevas nele. .“Though Ministry spokeswizards have hitherto refused even to confirm the existence of such a place, a growing number of the wizarding community believe that the Death Eaters now serving sentences in Azkaban for trespass and attempted theft were attempting to steal a prophecy. The nature of that prophecy is unknown, although speculation is rife that it concerns Harry Potter, the only person ever known to have survived the Killing Curse, and who is also known to have been at the Ministry on the night in question. Some are going so far as to call Potter the ‘Chosen One’, believing that the prophecy names him as the only one who will be able to rid us of He Who Must Not Be Named.”

O arrombamento no Ministério é relatado no Profeta Diário.
É mencionado no Profeta Diário que a razão pela qual o Ministério de repente admitiu que o Lorde das Trevas havia retornado foi porque houve uma invasão lá.
“Details of the events that led to the Ministry turnaround are still hazy, though it is believed that He Who Must Not Be Named and a select band of followers (known as Death Eaters) gained entry to the Ministry of Magic itself on Thursday evening.”
