- "Rowle was succeeded by Perseus Parkinson, who was likewise pro-Azkaban."
- — Perseus' views as Minister for Magic[src]
Minister Perseus Parkinson was British Minister for Magic from 1726 to 1733.
Biography
He attempted to pass a bill making it illegal to marry a Muggle. However, in doing so, he misread the public mood; the wizarding public was tired of anti-Muggle sentiment and wanted peace. Parkinson was therefore voted out during the next election for Minister.[2]
Behind the scenes
- Perseus Parkinson's attempts to ban mixed marriages are identical to Rappaport's Law introduced by MACUSA president Emily Rappaport. However, unlike in the United States of America, anti-muggle sentiments are not as widespread and confined to wizarding supremacists.
Appearances
- Pottermore (Mentioned only)
Notes and references
- ↑ According to Pottermore, the Parkinson family was one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, as Perceus had already been alive by that point he must have been a pure-blood.
- ↑ Writing by J. K. Rowling: "Ministers for Magic" at Pottermore
