Amelia Bones

Amelia Susan Bones was the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

1995
Madam Bones sat on the Wizengamot and presided over Harry's trial in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in which Cornelius Fudge acted as the prosecutor and Albus Dumbledore was the defence counsel as well as a witness. Despite poor treatment of Harry by Fudge, Madam Bones managed to keep the trial fairly unbiased and Harry was found innocent by a large majority of the court. During the trial, Madam Bones expresses admiration for Harry's ability to produce a corporeal Patronus at such a young age. She was also part of the faction that voted to clear Harry of all charges.

1996
She was brutally murdered by Voldemort during the 1996 summer holidays. According to Fudge, the recently-dismissed Minister for Magic, she put up a good fight. Her murder was also reported in the Muggle newspapers. The Muggle police were baffled by the case as She was killed in a room locked from the inside. The Muggle Prime Minister referred to her as a 'middle-aged woman that lived alone'. Afterwards, some members of the Order of the Phoenix referred to her as one of the greatest witches of the era, and several wizards felt deeply troubled by Bones' death.

Family
Amelia's brother, Edgar Bones, was a member of the Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War. The First War took a heavy toll on Amelia's family: her father and mother were killed by Voldemort, and her brother Edgar, his wife, and their children were killed by a Death Eater. She probably had at least one surviving brother, however, as her niece Susan Bones was a classmate of Harry Potter.

Physical Description
She was described as being a square-jawed witch with close-cropped grey hair and a monocle.
