Wilhelmina Tuft

Minister Wilhelmina Tuft was a British witch who served as the twenty-sixth Minister for Magic of the British Ministry of Magic, in office from 1948 to 1959, being elected at least twice.

Tuft was a cheery witch who presided over a period of welcome peace and prosperity. She died in office after discovering, too late, her allergy to Alihotsy-flavoured fudge, and was succeeded by her son Ignatius Tuft, who capitalised on the popularity his mother had to win the election.^[1]
