British and Irish Quidditch League Headquarters

The British and Irish Quidditch League Headquarters is a division part of the Department of Magical Games and Sports on Level 7 of the Ministry of Magic. The British and Irish Quidditch League falls under the authority of the division. In 1995, the division seemed untidy and laid back, with posters of the favourite Quidditch teams of employees displayed on the wall. The division was probably founded c. 1674, as that was the year the League was founded.

The head of the division and the entire department was Ludovic Bagman, until 1995 when he was forced to flee from goblins after losing several bets.
