"Point me!"
This article is about the organisation in general. You may be looking for the British Ministry of Magic, commonly referred to merely as the Ministry of Magic by Britons.

A Ministry of Magic is the primary governing body of the magical community in many countries. Headed by a Minister for Magic, a Ministry of Magic is responsible for regulating and enforcing laws for the magical community, as well as keeping said community hidden from the Muggle world.

In Britain, at least, the term "Ministry of Magic" seems to be synonymous with "form of wizarding government", since the term is, on occasion, loosely applied to also refer to the Wizards' Council that preceded the Ministry.[1]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ There are several instances in canon where the Ministry of Magic is credited with actions, such as establishing the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy in 1692, or with passing the Wand Ban in 1631, although the Ministry was only formally created in 1707.
