Missing link and some Greater Picture
Dòng 26:
Harry, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]], and Hermione, while they are on the run later, hear that ''The Quibbler'' is printing stories supportive of Harry. They go to visit Xenophilius; he seems reluctant to invite them in, but eventually does so, saying that he has to send an owl to fetch Luna, who is down past the bridge catching Plimpies for soup. Explaining that the symbol he had worn was the sigil of the three [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Deathly Hallows|Deathly Hallows]], he asks Hermione to read the story of the Three Brothers from her copy of ''the Tales of Beedle the Bard''. The three brothers receive items from Death, because they have tricked him: one asks for a wand more powerful than any other, one asks for a stone that can return people from death, and one asks for Death's own invisibility cloak. Xenophilius explains that these are the three Hallows, and the symbols of them are the triangle for the invisibility cloak, the circle for the resurrection stone, and the line for the wand.
 
Xenophilius then departs to make some soup, and Harry investigates an upstairs room, finding what is evidently Luna's room, with painted portraits of himself and other members of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dumbledore's Army|Dumbledore's Army]]. He discovers that it has apparently not been used for some time, which is odd; Luna should be home for Christmas break. When Xenophilius returns, Harry asks him again where Luna is; the printing press, which has been making copies of the Quibbler all this time, suddenly spits an entire stack of papers over the floor, and Harry finds that the Quibbler has suddenly taken up the official [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Ministry of Magic|Ministry]] line, that Harry is "Undesirable Number One" and should be arrested.
 
Xenophilius admits that he has sent an owl to the Ministry; Luna is being held captive to force him to toe the party line. As the Ministry wizards arrive, Xenophilius attempts to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Stupefy|Stun]] Harry, but misses and causes an [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Erumpent|Erumpent]] horn (which he had purchased believing it to be the horn of a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Crumple Horned Snorkack|Crumple-Horned Snorkack]]) to explode. Hermione, Ron, and Harry make their escape in the confusion, making sure that the Death Eaters see Harry and Hermione so that Xenophilius will not be punished for lying about Harry being there.

== Strengths ==
 
It is never made clear whether it is strength of character or inability to perceive his own difference, but Xeno steadfastly marches to the beat of his own drummer, no matter what the Wizarding population in general thinks of him.
 
== Weaknesses ==
 
Xeno's love of the strange and willingness to experiment has left him open to accepting an almost astounding number of crackpot theories, many of which we hear at second hand from his daughter Luna. It is these crackpot theories which have made his publication, ''The Quibbler'', something of a laughing stock.
 
== Relationships with Other Characters ==
 
The only thing that apparently can make Xeno toe the "party line" seems to be the capturing of his daughter. He is willing to go to extreme lengths, abandoning his own principles and turning Harry over to the Ministry, in order to regain Luna's freedom.
 
== Analysis ==
 
"Xenophilius" is accurately named, as it translates to "love of the strange" or "love of strange things."

{{Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Intermediate Spoiler}}
 
One of the things Harry finds while looking through Xeno's messy workroom is an attempt to recreate [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rowena Ravenclaw|Rowena Ravenclaw's]] lost diadem. While Xeno's attempt, using the strange mock-magical artifacts that he is so fond of, is doomed to failure, this is our first exposure to a potential artifact of the fourth Founder. To date, we have been made aware of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Salazar Slytherin|Slytherin's]] locket, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Sword of Gryffindor|Gryffindor's sword]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Helena Hufflepuff|Hufflepuff's cup]]; the reader likely expects that a fourth artifact will surface, for the sake of symmetry, and may in fact believe that it will be found to be a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Horcrux|Horcrux]], as two of the other three have been. It will turn out that the Diadem has been found and made into a Horcrux, and that Harry has already unknowingly handled it; the Trio will have to return to Hogwarts to recover it.
