Protecting Your Home and Family Against Dark Forces

"The Wizarding community is currently under threat from an organisation calling itself the Death Eaters. Observing the following simple security guidelines will help protect you, your family and your home from attack."

- The leaflet's introduction

Protecting Your Home and Family Against Dark Forces is a purple pamphlet that was printed and distributed by the Ministry of Magic, when the Ministry acknowledged the Return of the Dark Lord.

Content and purpose
The pamphlets were purple with golden letters and had at least ten pages. It contained simple security guidelines that would protect a wizard under threat of Death Eater attack or impersonation. As a conscientious Ministry of Magic employee, Arthur Weasley insisted that his family attempt to implement at least some of its recommendations.
