abstract
  • The Minister for Magic is an office in the Harry Potter continuum which serves the Wizarding World in a role similar to the Prime Minister. This office is known as that of the 'Minister of Magic' in the American versions of the books.
  • The Minister is advised on wizarding matters by their staff members and by the other Heads of Departments. They also chair the Wizengamot to pass Wizarding Laws, or to hear important trials (such as Harry Potter's case), though the verdict is decided by majority vote, including that of the Minister themselves. Many other wizarding countries also have Ministers and have the similar governmental systems such as the Bulgarian minister. Despite being the head of the wizarding community of Britain and Ireland, it is common for the Minister to uphold a facade of peace and safety to maintain control and the satisfaction of the public, even if it means blatantly lying to the citizens, putting them at risk, and forcing the media to corroborate the Ministries claims. This was a sign of the corruption during the times of the Second Wizarding War. The Minister for Magic was formally appointed in 1707 when Ulick Gamp was voted in as the first Minister for Magic. The minister is democratically elected through a public vote and there is no fixed limit to a Minister's term in office. However, regular elections must be held at a maximum interval of seven years.
  • The Minister for Magic is the leader of the wizarding world in the United Kingdom, which somewhat corresponds to the British Prime Minister. One of the Minister for Magic's duties is to correspond with the British Prime Minister of any ongoing events in the wizarding world that will or may affect the United Kingdom as a whole. A small portrait in the corner of the Prime Minister's office serves as an envoy between the two Ministers. It announces the arrival of the Minister for Magic, seeking the Prime Minister's reply (usually unavoidable). It is believed that a Permanent Sticking Charm must have been placed on the portrait, for neither the Prime Minister or his experts were unable to remove it from its location. The Minister is advised on wizarding matters by his (or her) staff members and by the other Heads of Departments. He (or she) also is able to chair the Wizengamot to pass Wizarding Laws, or to hear important trials, though the verdict is decided by a panel of jury, including the Minister himself. Many other wizarding countries also have Ministers and have the similar governmental systems such as the Bulgarian minister. Source; HP Wikia.
