"They wanted Dumbledore fer Minister, o' course, but he'd never leave Hogwarts, so old Cornelius Fudge got the job. Bungler if ever there was one. So he pelts Dumbledore with owls every morning, askin' fer advice."
— Rubeus Hagrid and Harry Potter discuss the Minister for Magic[src]

The Minister for Magic was the political leader of the wizarding community in their respective countries around the world, and the highest ranking member of the Ministry of Magic, which they controlled. The position somewhat corresponded to the Prime Minister of Muggles in their respective countries.[1]

In Great Britain, the Minister was advised on wizarding matters by their staff members and by the other Heads of Departments. They also chaired the Wizengamot to pass Wizarding Laws, or to hear important trials (such as Harry Potter's case), though the verdicts were decided by majority vote, including that of the Minister themselves. Many other wizarding countries also had Ministers and had similar governmental systems, such as the Bulgarian Minister or the Zauberminister of wizarding Germany.[1]

Despite being the head of their respective wizarding communities, it was common for the Minister to uphold a facade of peace and safety to maintain control and the satisfaction of the public, even if it meant blatantly lying to the citizens, putting them at risk, and forcing the media to corroborate the Ministry's claims. This was a sign of the corruption during the times of the Second Wizarding War.[2][3]

The Minister for Magic was formally appointed in 1707 when Ulick Gamp was voted in as the first Minister for Magic. Ministers were democratically elected through a public vote, and there was no fixed limit to a Minister's term in office. However, regular elections had to be held at a maximum interval of seven years.[1]

History

When the Ministry of Magic was established in 1707, the man appointed as the first Minister for Magic was Ulick Gamp, formerly Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot.[1]

After Millicent Bagnold was preparing to retire in 1990, Albus Dumbledore was expected to take the position of Minister, but he believed that due to his past, he could not be trusted with that power, so because of this, Barty Crouch Snr was the next prime candidate, due to his cruel but effective methods of combating the Dark Arts during the First Wizarding War, until he sentenced his son to Azkaban for being a Death Eater.[4] It was after his son's presumed death that the public began to take pity on the boy and thought Crouch Snr was too neglectful as a father, which led to a drop in his popularity, causing him to lose out to Fudge.

Several Ministers in recent times, from left to right: Cornelius Fudge (1990-1996), Rufus Scrimgeour (1996-1997), Pius Thicknesse (1997-1998) and Kingsley Shacklebolt (1998-c. 2019)

Cornelius Fudge was Minister from 1990 to 1996. During his first days in office, he was not very confident and, as a result, constantly bombarded Dumbledore with letters for advice.[5] During the last year of his tenure, Fudge was overcome by self-induced persecution delusions, because Dumbledore 'claimed' Voldemort had returned, and abused his own position to prevent that news from spreading, in order to protect both his position of power and the peace that the Ministry had worked so hard to maintain.[3]

In the end, when Fudge was forced to accept that Voldemort had indeed returned,[6] the entire wizarding community called for his resignation, and after a fortnight of futile attempts to remain in office, in July 1996 he was replaced by Rufus Scrimgeour.[7] Fudge's love for his office blinded him from the truth, and, as he was warned, his denial led him to be known as one of the least effective and disgraced Ministers in history.

Scrimgeour's term ran for one year, in which he attempted to restore peace and control throughout the Wizarding World. Although he was beaten in the end, Scrimgeour was being honest and accepted the fact that the Ministry were many steps behind Voldemort, (even though this was the fault of his predecessor, Cornelius Fudge).[7][8] Unfortunately, he was killed in an attack by an army of death eaters of the First of August, 1997.[9] He was replaced by Voldemort's puppet, Pius Thicknesse.[10]

Thicknesse, under Corban Yaxley's Imperius Curse,[11] was appointed as Minister, though he was really only Voldemort's puppet, with the Dark Lord effectively becoming the true Minister. While Thicknesse was to handle everyday business, which included changing the entire Ministry to suit the Death Eaters' ideology, Voldemort was free to extend his reign beyond the government. Voldemort did not announce himself Minister, but instead kept himself hidden in the shadows, in order to plant uncertainty and doubt within the wizarding community, preventing them from trusting anyone and forming any rebellion that could overwhelm the Ministry and the Death Eaters.[10] Because of his subjugation, Thicknesse's role as Minister was omitted from most official records.

By the end of the war, Kingsley Shacklebolt was appointed as temporary Minister, the position later becoming permanent. His term led to the revolutionising of the entire Ministry, removing any and all corruption that had permeated it before and during the takeover. One of his first and most effective acts as Minister, was replacing Dementors, the unreliable guards of Azkaban, with Aurors.

By 2019, Hermione Granger had succeeded Kingsley Shacklebolt as Minister for Magic. And she, like Shacklebolt, made very effective decisions as Minister.[12]

21 Venusia Crickerly
1903 to 1912
Auror Competent and likeable Minister. Died in 1912 in a Mandrake-related gardening accident.
22 Archer Evermonde
1912 to 1923
Passed emergency legislation preventing wizards from taking part in the on-going First World War, lest this cause a massive breach of the International Statute of Secrecy.
23 Lorcan McLaird
1923 to 1925
An exceptionally taciturn man who preferred to communicate in monosyllables and expressive puffs of smoke that he produced with his wand. Forced out of office out of sheer irritation.
24 Hector Fawley
1925 to 1939
Term in office coincided with the beginning of Gellert Grindelwald's "For the Greater Good" revolution. Fawley did not take Grindelwald's threat to the world wizarding community sufficiently seriously and was, as a result, forced from his office.
25 Leonard Spencer-Moon
1939 to 1948
Tea-boy in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes A sound Minister, oversaw a period of great turmoil in both the wizarding (global wizarding war) and the Muggle world (Second World War). Maintained a good working relationship with Winston Churchill.

28 Nobby Leach

First Muggle-born Minister for Magic. Denied having had anything to do with England's 1966 World Cup win. Left office after contracting a mysterious illness (conspiracy theories abound - Abraxas Malfoy is widely believed to have been part of the shady plot that made him leave his post prematurely).
29 Eugenia Jenkins
1968 to 1975
Dealt competently with the pure-blood riots during the Squib Rights marches of the late 1960s. The first rise of Lord Voldemort saw her ousted from office, as the people saw her as inadequate to meet the challenge.
30 Harold Minchum
1975 to 1980
Hard-liner. Placed even more Dementors in Azkaban, but could not contain Voldemort's seemingly unstoppable rise to power.
31 Millicent Bagnold HM.jpg Millicent Bagnold
1980 to 1990
Minister during the terminal phase of the First Wizarding War. It was during her term that Lord Voldemort seemingly died following the James and Lily Potter murders in 1981. Responsible for the successful Death Eater trials immediately after the war.
32 Cornelius Fudge 2.jpg Cornelius Fudge
1990 to 1996
Junior minister at the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes


Advisor to the Minister for Magic

Most of the wizarding world supported Albus Dumbledore for Minister when Bagnold retired, but Fudge was appointed when Dumbledore refused the office. Fudge relied heavily on Dumbledore in the first years of his term. When Lord Voldemort returned, Fudge persistently refused to accept it, and launched a smear campaign to discredit those who claimed the Dark Lord had returned. Was ousted from office when Voldemort appeared in the Ministry itself.
33 Rufus Scrimgeour.jpg Rufus Scrimgeour
1996 to 1997
Head of the Auror Office Replaced Cornelius Fudge in the height of the Second Wizarding War. Tried to reassure the wizard population that the ministry were making progress in the war. This was done through reorganising some Ministry offices, publicising arrests, and trying to recruit Harry Potter as the Ministry's poster-boy. As a result, actual progress was reduced and the ministry was not able to meet the threat posed by a returned Voldemort. Murdered at the hands of Voldemort during a Death Eater coup.
34 (omitted) Pius Thicknesse.png Pius Thicknesse

1997 to 1998

Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement Put under the Imperius Curse by the Death Eaters, and appointed Minister following their coup. Thicknesse was effectively a puppet of the Death Eater regime and was unconscious of anything he was doing (the reason why he is omitted from most official records as a Minister).
35 Shacklebolt.jpg Kingsley Shacklebolt
1998 to 2019
Auror Named "Caretaker Minister for Magic" after the Battle of Hogwarts and the end of the Second Wizarding War, but subsequently elected to the office. Oversaw the capture of Death Eaters and supporters following Voldemort's death. Led a massive reform of the Ministry, in order to rid it of corruption and pro-pure-blood laws. Purged Dementors from Azkaban.

Relationship with the Muggle Prime Minister

One of the Minister for Magic's duties was to correspond with the British Prime Minister of Muggles regarding any ongoing events in the wizarding world that would or could affect the United Kingdom as a whole, eg Voldemort's return. This included introducing themselves to the Muggle Prime Minister when there was a change in office on either side.

A small portrait in the corner of the Prime Minister's office served as an envoy between the two Ministers. It announced the arrival of the Minister for Magic, seeking the Prime Minister's reply (usually acquiescence to the unavoidable). It is believed that a Permanent Sticking Charm must have been placed on the portrait, for neither the Prime Minister nor his experts were able to remove it from its location.

Known correspondences

Sometime between 1990 and 1993, Fudge introduced himself to the newly elected Muggle Prime Minister and informed him of the existence of the magical population living among Muggles in secret. Fudge assured the Muggle Prime Minister that they would likely not see each other again unless there was an emergency. Fudge also claimed that the previous Prime Minister had tried to throw him out of the window, believing him to be a hoax planned by his political opposition.

In around July 1993, Fudge visited the Prime Minister's office again, to inform him of Sirius Black's breakout from Azkaban, the wizard prison. On this visit, Fudge also told the Prime Minister about Voldemort, in order to allow the Prime Minister to have an in-depth understanding of what was going on, though as he dared not say the name out loud, he instead scribbled it on a piece of paper.

In August 1994, Fudge turned up to report on the fiasco at the Quidditch World Cup, since its victims included Muggles. He also informed a bewildered Prime Minister that the Ministry of Magic would be importing dragons and a sphinx into Great Britain for the Triwizard Tournament, taking place at Hogwarts later that year.

Sometime prior to July 1996, a flustered Fudge appeared in the Prime Minister's office briefly to inform him that there had been a mass breakout from Azkaban, the wizard prison.

Around July 1996, Fudge turned up and announced to the Prime Minister that the Second Wizarding War had begun, and admitted that the Dark forces in their community were responsible for the various gloomy and tragic events occurring in the Muggle world. In addition, Fudge introduced his successor, Rufus Scrimgeour.

When Voldemort took over the Ministry of Magic, it was possible that the puppet Minister Pius Thicknesse was not sent to meet the Muggle Minister, as was the tradition in the past, due to the Death Eaters' attitudes towards Muggles and Muggle-borns. However, once Kingsley Shacklebolt was appointed Minister in 1998, it is possible, if not likely, that he did meet with the Prime Minister to not only introduce himself (indeed, he had been put in as secretary to the Prime Minister in 1996 to watch over his security)[13] but to assure the Muggle Minister that the war had ended.

When Hermione Granger was appointed Minister around 2019, she, like her predecessors, likely also introduced herself to the incumbent Prime Minister.

Behind the scenes

  • Lally Hicks mentioned the Norwegian Minister as the Norwegian Minister of Magic.
  • In the American editions, the Minister is called the Minister of Magic. In the films, both Minister of Magic and Minister for Magic seem to be acceptable, as different characters call it different names. For example, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, when Scrimgeour arrives at The Burrow, George wonders what the "Minister of Magic" is doing there; likewise, when Kingsley's Patronus interrupts the Bill and Fleur's wedding, he calls the Minister the same thing. However, when Pius Thicknesse gives his speech later in the film, he calls himself the "Minister for Magic". The reason behind this is unknown.
  • Basil Flack has the distinction of being the Minister for Magic with the shortest known term in office: 2 months, in 1752. The longest term was that of Faris Spavin, lasting 38 years, from 1865 to 1903. There has been at least one foreign Minister for Magic with a shorter term then Flack's, though: Joshua Sankara, Minister for Magic of Burkina Faso for two days in 2006.
  • Apparently, the Minister must get the approval of a Wizengamot majority for any legislation.
  • One of Gilderoy Lockhart's many empty claims to any of his classmates who bothered even listening to him is to knuckle down to become Britain's youngest Minister for Magic, which he never accomplished.
  • Since Kingsley's appointment as the next Minister for Magic is omitted from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, there is no mention of who is appointed to that position after the final battle.
  • Supposing that the liaison between the Minister for Magic and the Muggle Prime Minister has been conducted in the same way since the Ministry's inception, as well as supposing that the Muggle Prime Ministers in the Harry Potter universe are all the same as their real-life counterparts, then the following table illustrates the Ministers for Magic that would have introduced themselves to the respective Prime Ministers:
