Hogwarts Board of Governors

The Hogwarts Board of Governors is a Board of twelve governors which oversees the running of Hogwarts School. The appointment and suspension of a Headmaster is up to the governors. The Board is obliged to take action if parents seek redress on any school-related issues (such as the Buckbeak attack on Draco Malfoy, in September 1993). Lucius Malfoy was once a school governor, but was trown off the Board in mid-1993 for pressuring the other eleven governors into suspending Albus Dumbledore from the post of Headmaster of Hogwarts. The current twelve governors are unknown as is how they are appointed or removed or what powers do they have besides appointing and sacking Headmasters.
