Minister for Magic and Support Staff

"Level one, Minister for Magic and Support Staff."

— The lift announcement at the British Ministry

Minister for Magic and Support Staff was a section of the British Ministry of Magic located on Level 1 of the Ministry. It was comprised of the Minister for Magic, the highest position in the Ministry, and the Minister's support staff, who assisted in the daily administration of the wizarding world in Great Britain. Given the direct access to the Minister these staff appeared to enjoy, it is likely that these positions were high in the hierarchy of the Ministry and were separate from the normal Departmental system.

Office location

The suite of offices was located on Level 1 of the Ministry. This level's floor was covered in thick purple carpets, and all the offices within contained a gleaming mahogany door. Each door bore a small plaque with the owner's name and position.
