I wonder if Dumbledore had anything to do with that article The Prophet put out.
Author's Response: Dumbledore didn't. The Prophet office is right there on Diagon and changing Diagon would be big news so they want to write about it. Wizards don't like change (evidenced by the way they still light Hogwarts with candles, don't use modern communication, etc), so they definitely disapprove of changing the alleys up, which is why the Prophet wrote the article the way they did instead of writing it up in a positive light. I think they have to see that a change is positive first before they take to it. To be fair however, I think a lot of regular Muggles are like that too :p
