Cant they just write what they like anyway and refer to him as The-Boy-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named? Drawing a parallel between him and Voldy in the minds of readers. Or refer to him as just Harrykins, alluding to his behavior being juvenile. Or just refer to him as Haughty Pretender, the initials will give away who they are referring to in the slander articles. Not so easy to shut down the gutter press, they can always find loopholes to exploit. If they create new names for referring to him, how many can he keep on shutting down?

The following will surely go down as one of the greatest fanfic quotes of all time:
“As they walked, they noticed doors on each side, with rather strange-sounding names. There was Glamdrop McGroupie, Director of Movie Stars, and Fitzwalladercadnorg the 18th, Head of Bloodline Blending. Ginny got the giggles after reading Heffalump Roo, Director of Poo, and Harry devoutly hoped that the door had just lost one of its letters. Fred gave a shout of surprise at seeing Sparkly Flash, Lead Prankster, and George got an equally big kick out of Transfat Artery, Vice-President of French Fries.”
At least, I think so. It’s hilarious.
This whole story is great. It walks the line between serious and bizarre and comes out very enjoyable. My only wish is that it would be longer.

I liked the idea of the copyright jinx, but 3 knuts per violation? A profitable newspaper would probably just pay it and keep using the copyrighted terms.

Brilliant, just brilliant!

Hilarious!

Well-written and thoroughly enjoyable one shot. The only criticism I would have is that the descriptions of Harry and Ginny kissing become a little excessive.

I found the details of the jinx and the ending scene to be delightful.

Is there hope for an epilog? Maybe an interruption during a political speech, or even better, an interruption during a lecture from a certain headmaster?

What if they put a copy-write on the words Dark Lord, Mudblood, Or any of the unforgivables with the penalty of a bowel loosening hex that would not stop until the fine was paid?

So lovely. I really enjoyed the characterization of the Weasleys and Harry.

Good chapter, byes

Nice idea. I skipped a lot cause it seemed the explanation of this all was not made clear until the very end. I had little idea what harry was jinxing and the twins didnt really explain it well. Plus there was so much stuff unrelated to the plot. I didnt want to read harry/gingin stuff which just delayed the main plot idea and figuring it out.
The idea was good, i just hoped to see all that would come from it

love harry's gift to ginny

Nice stuff! Ooh, Harry really oughta do that for real!

That was brilliant.

love it.

Truly a prank of pranks ... though I would have preferred the max amount of a fine without the warning ... let them go bankrupt in days/weeks ... truly teach them/everyone a thing or two about messing with "Harry Potter". -DAMN I just lost three knots!
