Calamity

"This Calamity is, well, quite calamitous. Everything that anyone has ever feared, revered, or held dear in the wizarding world — people, things, even memories — have been stolen and displaced, tossed about across the world. We've got to return what is lost, and quickly. The Statute of Secrecy is in danger of being broken."

- Constance Pickering

The term "The Calamity" is used to refer to a large-scale breach of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy that took place in the 2010s.

In response to the situation, the British Ministry of Magic and the International Confederation of Wizards set up the special Statute of Secrecy Task Force to contain the threat and prevent outbreaks of magic from being noticed by Muggles.
