The actual structure was all underground, although magical windows showed whatever weather Magical Maintenance had chosen for the day, from bright sunshine to hurricanes. Visitors to the Ministry of Magic came to a broken-down red telephone box on a dingy street which had several shabby offices, a pub, and a wall covered with graffiti. Then the telephone box dropped down like a lift for about one minute, after which the visitor would be in the Atrium.
The Atrium was on level 8. It was a large hall with fireplaces up and down both long walls. Down the left-hand side of the hall were gilded fireplaces which witches and wizards used to arrive at the Ministry.
The right-hand side contained gilded fireplaces as well, and these were used for departures. The floor was polished dark wood. The ceiling was peacock blue with golden symbols moving across it. The Fountain of Magical Brethren was halfway down the Atrium. A group of golden statues, depicting a wizard , a witch , a centaur , a goblin , and a house-elf , spouted water into the surrounding pool of water.
At the end of the Atrium was a set of golden gates, next to which was a security stand. Eric Munch was usually on duty here. He registered the wands of visitors. Another smaller hall was beyond the gates, where there was a series of lifts.
The lifts provided access to the other levels, except the tenth. On level one were the offices of the Minister for Magic and Support Staff. On level two was the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. On level three was the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. On level five was the Department of International Magical Co-operation. On level six was the Department of Magical Transportation.
On level seven was the Department of Magical Games and Sports. On level nine was the Department of Mysteries. Level ten could only be reached by the stairs to the left of the door which led to the Department of Mysteries on level nine. Dungeon-like corridors led to Courtroom Ten.
The walls of the courtroom were dark stone. In the centre of the room was a chair covered in chains that stood below rows of high benches on which the Wizengamot sat. Ulick Gamp , the first Minister for Magic. Gamp had the onerous job of policing a fractious and frightened community adjusting to the imposition of the International Statute of Secrecy.
His greatest legacy was to found the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. In , the Ministry classified the Imperius , Cruciatus , and Avada Kedavra curses as the Unforgivable Curses , with the strictest of penalties attached to their use.
Damocles Rowle was the Minister for Magic from - He was elected on a platform of being 'tough on Muggles '.

Censured by the International Confederation of Wizards , he was eventually forced to step down. Perseus Parkinson was the Minister for Magic from - He tried to pass a bill making it illegal to marry a Muggle.
This proved to be against the public mood; the wizarding community, tired of anti-Muggle sentiment and wanting peace, voted him out at the first opportunity.
Eldritch Diggory was the Minister for Magic from - He was a popular Minister who first established an Auror recruitment programme. While visiting Azkaban, Diggory realised what conditions inside were like. Prisoners were mostly insane and a graveyard had been established to accommodate those that died of despair.

He renovated and reinforced the prison of Azkaban. Maximilian Crowdy was the Minister for Magic from - Father of nine, he was a charismatic leader who routed out several extremist pure-blood groups planning Muggle attacks.
He replied with a simple four-word letter stating that they were "sitting this one out", to which she replied with an even shorter letter stating "mind you do". Crowdy's mysterious death in office was the subject of numerous books and conspiracy theories. Porteus Knatchbull was the Minister for Magic from - When it leaked out that Lord North believed in wizards, he was forced to resign after a motion of no confidence. Unctuous Osbert was the Minister for Magic from - Because he was too much influenced by pure-bloods of wealth and status, many saw him as little more a puppet to his own advisor Septimus Malfoy , who would have served as the Ministry's de facto head.
Artemisia Lufkin was the Minister from - The first witch to ever hold the office, she established the Department of International Magical Co-operation , lobbying hard and successfully to have a Quidditch World Cup tournament held in Britain during her term. Grogan Stump was the Minister from - Very popular and passionate fan of Quidditch team Tutshill Tornados , he established the Department of Magical Games and Sports and managed to steer through legislation on magical beasts and beings that had long been a source of contention.
Josephina Flint was the Minister from - She revealed an unhealthy anti-Muggle bias in office; she disliked new Muggle technology such as the telegraph , which she claimed interfered with proper wand function. Ottaline Gambol was the Minister from - A much more forward-looking Minister, Gambol established committees to investigate Muggle brainpower, which seemed, during this period of the British Empire, to be greater than some wizards had credited. Radolphus Lestrange was the Minister from - He was a reactionary, who attempted to close down the Department of Mysteries , which ignored him.
He eventually resigned due to ill health, which was widely rumoured to be inability to cope with the strains of office.

Orpington was believed to have intervened magically and illegally in the Crimean War. Priscilla Dupont was the Minister from - She conceived an irrational loathing of the Muggle Prime Minister Lord Palmerston , to an extent that caused such trouble coins turning to frogspawn in his coat pockets, etc. Ironically, Palmerston was forced to resign by the Muggles two days later. Dugald McPhail was the Minister from - A safe pair of hands.
While the Muggle parliament underwent a period of marked upheaval, the Ministry of Magic knew a period of welcome calm. Faris "Spout-hole" Spavin was the Minister from - Longest-ever serving Minister for Magic, and also the most long-winded, he survived an 'assassination attempt' kicking from a centaur who resented the punchline of Spavin's infamous 'a centaur, a ghost and a dwarf walk into a bar' joke.

He was forced from office out of sheer irritation at his eccentricities. Hector Fawley was the Minister for Magic from - Undoubtedly voted in because of his marked difference to McLaird, the ebullient and flamboyant Fawley did not take sufficiently seriously the threat presented to the wizarding community by Gellert Grindelwald.

He promised to institute a controversial and dangerous Dementor breeding programme, and was forced from office.
Nobby Leach was the Minister from - First Muggle-born Minister for Magic, his appointment caused consternation among the old pure-blood guard, many of whom resigned government posts in protest.
He always denied having anything to do with England's Quidditch World Cup win. Left office after contracting a mysterious illness conspiracy theories abound. Eugenia Jenkins was the Minister from - Jenkins dealt competently with pure-blood riots during Squib Rights marches in the late s , but was soon confronted with the first rise of Lord Voldemort.
Jenkins was soon ousted from office as inadequate to the challenge. Harold Minchum was the Minister from - Seen as a hard-liner, he placed even more Dementors around Azkaban , but was unable to contain Voldemort's apparently unstoppable rise to power.
Millicent Bagnold was the Minister from - A highly able Minister, she had to answer to the International Confederation of Wizards for the number of breaches of the International Statute of Secrecy on the day and night after Harry Potter survived Lord Voldemort's attack.
Acquitted herself magnificently with the now infamous words: 'I assert our inalienable right to party', which drew cheers from all present. Shortly before Minister Millicent Bagnold 's retirement in , many of the wizarding population wanted Albus Dumbledore to become Minister.
The most likely person to become Minister from that point on was Bartemius Crouch Senior , who, as Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement , had gained popularity from his purges of Death Eaters after the first fall of Lord Voldemort , including arresting his own son for participating in the Cruciatus Curse torture of Alice and Frank Longbottom.
Cornelius Fudge was Minister for Magic during the events surrounding Lord Voldemort 's second rise to power.
He became Minister for Magic in [9] and stayed on as Minister until being sacked on 2 July At the same time, the Improper Use of Magic Office sent Harry Potter a letter of reprimand after the Malfoy family house-elf , Dobby , performed magic in an attempt to keep him away from Hogwarts.
In early , Fudge went to Hogwarts to send Rubeus Hagrid to Azkaban on suspicion of opening the Chamber of Secrets , an accusation that had led to his expulsion from Hogwarts 50 years earlier. Hagrid was eventually freed in June after the trio solved the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets. In the summer of , wrongfully convicted "mass-murderer" Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban, leading to a massive Ministry manhunt.
Daily Prophet smear campaign against Harry Potter. Organising the Triwizard Tournament involved substantial efforts from the Department of International Magical Co-operation , the Department of Magical Games and Sports , and other parts of the Ministry. Fudge refused to believe Dumbledore and Harry Potter's accounts of these events, leading Dumbledore to reactivate the Order of the Phoenix to counter Voldemort. Because of Fudge's refusal to see the truth, the wizarding community was put at a disadvantage when dealing with the imminent threat of Lord Voldemort and his followers.
Fudge allowed the near-execution of Buckbeak to occur, once again intimidated by Lucius Malfoy. In this book, it is revealed that, before becoming Minister of Magic, he worked in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. His kindly relationship to Harry abruptly changes in Goblet of Fire.
When Harry emerges from the Triwizard Tournament's third task after having seen the rebirth of Voldemort, Fudge refuses to believe it. He is worried about the fallout of announcing Voldemort's return, marking the end of the Wizarding world's years of peace, and the sudden outbreak of gloom and terror; hence he decides to merely ignore all of the evidence rather than accept the truth.
In Order of the Phoenix , Fudge orchestrates a vicious smear campaign through the Daily Prophet to present Dumbledore as a senile old fool even though he was constantly asking for Dumbledore's advice in his early days of being Minister of Magic and Harry as an unstable, attention-seeking liar.
He also passes a law allowing him to place Dolores Umbridge, his Senior Undersecretary, as a teacher at Hogwarts. He then appoints Umbridge as Hogwarts' "High Inquisitor", with the power to inspect and sack teachers, and ultimately Dumbledore's successor as Headmaster, which gives her and by extension, Fudge himself primary control of how Hogwarts is managed.
Fudge is concerned that Dumbledore is a threat to his power and that he is planning to train the Hogwarts students to overthrow the Ministry. After Voldemort appears in the Ministry of Magic at the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Fudge is sacked in disgrace from his position of Minister for Magic after the wizarding community calls for his resignation and is replaced by Rufus Scrimgeour, though he stays on as an advisor in Half-Blood Prince.
He makes several attempts to have Dumbledore arrange a meeting between himself and Harry so that Harry can lie on Fudge's behalf and make it look as though the Ministry is winning the war, but Dumbledore refuses, knowing how ridiculous Harry would find the idea. Fudge is last mentioned in the series as one of the attendees at Dumbledore's funeral; his fate during Voldemort's takeover of the Ministry during the following year is unknown.
Bertha Jorkins was a student at Hogwarts at the same time as James Potter and company. She was known as nosy, with a good head for gossip. She became a Ministry of Magic employee after leaving Hogwarts. In the summer before the events of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire , she was killed by Voldemort. Rowling later revealed that her death was used to turn Nagini, Voldemort's snake, into a Horcrux.
Some months before her murder, she accidentally discovered that Barty Crouch, Jr, who supposedly died in Azkaban prison, was still alive and being hidden by his father. Barty Crouch Sr. Voldemort irreparably damaged her mentally and physically while breaking the Memory Charm, through which he gained information about the Triwizard Tournament and Crouch Jr. During the duel between Harry and Voldemort in the graveyard at Little Hangleton, Bertha is one of the shadows that spills out from Voldemort's wand and helps Harry escape.
She appears to be wiser after her death, and supports Harry during The Goblet of Fire so he can defeat Voldemort, her murderer. Bertha Jorkins's character was written out of the film adaptation of Goblet of Fire due to time constraints. Rufus Scrimgeour serves as the Minister for Magic of the United Kingdom, succeeding Cornelius Fudge who was ousted by the wizarding community due to his failure to announce the return of Voldemort, discrediting Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore and allowing Dolores Umbridge to become Headmistress of Hogwarts, from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince until his death in the following book.
He is described as looking like an old lion with tawny hair and bushy eyebrows, with yellow eyes and wire-rimmed spectacles. Before being selected as minister, Scrimgeour headed the Auror Office of the Ministry and he is heavily battle-scarred from his years of service as an Auror, giving him an appearance of shrewd toughness.
As minister, he visits the Muggle Prime Minister with Fudge, now an advisor, to inform him about recent wizarding events, crucial to internal security.
Scrimgeour proves to be a more capable leader than Fudge. Scrimgeour seeks to raise the wizarding population's morale by asking Harry, who has been labelled as the "Chosen One", to be seen visiting the Ministry, so that the public would believe that Harry supports the Ministry's actions against Voldemort.
This becomes a source of contention between the Minister and Dumbledore, who does not support this idea. Harry also rejects the role, primarily because of his own antagonistic history with the Ministry, and because of the Ministry's treatment of Dumbledore and Stan Shunpike. Scrimgeour is assassinated shortly after the visit when Death Eaters take over the Ministry. He is rumoured to have been tortured for Harry's whereabouts by Ministry officials, under the control of the Imperius Curse, before he is killed.
Harry felt a "rush of gratitude" to hear that Scrimgeour, in his final act, attempted to protect Harry by refusing to disclose his location. With the Ministry in Death Eaters' hands, the official line for Scrimgeour's death is that he resigned. He is the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the start of the book, when he is placed under the Imperius Curse by Yaxley, who uses his position to infiltrate the senior ranks of the Ministry.
Thicknesse is described as a man with long hair and a beard, which are mostly black but tinged with some grey, along with a great overhanging forehead and glinting eyes. Harry's immediate impression is of "a crab looking out from beneath a rock. After the coup in which Scrimgeour is killed, the Ministry comes under the de facto control of Voldemort, who appoints Thicknesse as his puppet Minister.
Thicknesse joins the ranks of the Death Eaters for the rest of the book and fights with them at the Battle of Hogwarts, where he duels against Percy Weasley who Transfigures him into a sea urchin. Following the end of the battle, the Imperius Curse that was placed upon him is broken. Kingsley Shacklebolt replaces him as interim later permanent Minister for Magic. Not much is known about the "real" nature of Thicknesse, as he has been under the control of Yaxley for nearly the entire book.
Guy Henry plays Thicknesse in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 1 and Part 2 , in which he is portrayed as being a Death Eater even before Scrimgeour's death; there is no mention of the Imperius Curse being used to secure his support. In Part 2 , Thicknesse is killed by Voldemort himself. She is a short, squat woman described as resembling a large pale toad, with "short, curly, mouse-brown hair".
She speaks with a quiet, childish, high-pitched voice, and loves kittens, chocolate cakes, biscuits, tea and other cute things, decorating her office with related paraphernalia. She has a tendency to speak to people she feels are her lessers in a very condescending tone, as if they are simpletons or very young children. Umbridge is first presented as an interrogator at Harry's trial for under-age use of magic in the opening chapters of Order of the Phoenix.
It is later revealed that Umbridge had the Dementors attack Harry in an attempt to silence him from contradicting the Ministry's statement about Voldemort not returning from the dead.
Her teaching consists only of defensive magical theory, due to Fudge's paranoid fear that Dumbledore intends to use his students as an army to bring down the Ministry. She is soon appointed the first "High Inquisitor" of Hogwarts, in which she is given extraordinary powers over the students, teachers, and curriculum.
She dismisses Sybill Trelawney as a teacher, though Dumbledore points out she cannot send her away from the school itself. Ultimately, she deposes Dumbledore after he 'confesses' to plotting against the Ministry to prevent Harry being expelled, and has herself instated as Headmistress by the Ministry. However the Headmaster's Office the room itself rejects her authority by sealing her out, meaning she has to continue to use her own office. She creates the "Inquisitorial Squad", which rewards its student members for reporting on others and sanctions them to act as enforcers of Umbridge's rules, including the ability to take points from the other students for the House Cup competition.
All the members of the Inquisitorial Squad are Slytherins. Her authority is initially challenged by Fred and George, who leave Hogwarts after turning a corridor into a swamp and bombarding Umbridge with fireworks. She then faces trouble from the non-Slytherin student body and Peeves at every opportunity, with the teachers doing very little to stop them. Filch the Caretaker tries to help her, delighted at being given permission to whip students, but there is too much trouble for him to keep order.
Towards the final chapters of Order of the Phoenix , Umbridge attacks Hagrid, but her attempt is thwarted partly due to Hagrid's half-giant heritage which grants relative immunity to spells.
Mungo's hospital, clearing the way for Umbridge to assume complete control of the school. Umbridge's time at Hogwarts is characterised by cruelty and abusive punishments against students; she forces Harry Potter, Lee Jordan and other students to whom she gave detention to write lines using a blood quill, which cuts the same words written into its victims as they write.
Umbridge even attempts to use Veritaserum and the Cruciatus Curse to extract information from students. By speaking derisively to a herd of centaurs, she provokes them and they abduct her. Umbridge is rescued not visibly harmed, but traumatised, by Dumbledore, and is eventually removed from Hogwarts due to the wizarding community protesting Fudge for his resignation.
She later makes a short appearance in Half-Blood Prince when she attends Dumbledore's funeral with an unconvincing expression of grief and Harry is disgusted to hear that Rufus Scrimgeour has continued to employ her at the Ministry of Magic.
Umbridge plays a smaller role in Deathly Hallows as the head of the Muggle-born Registration Commission, and appears to have written a leaflet called " Mudbloods and the Dangers They Pose to a Peaceful Pure-Blood Society ", indicating her full support of Voldemort's regime, whether or not she knew the truth about who was running it.
She has somehow obtained Mad-Eye Moody's magical eye after his death, and uses it to spy on the other Ministry workers from her office. She has also taken Slytherin's locket as a bribe from Mundungus Fletcher after he stole it from 12 Grimmauld Place but was selling without a license.
She uses the trinket to solidify her pure-blood credentials, claiming the "S" on the locket stands for "Selwyn", rather than "Slytherin". Harry and his friends manage to penetrate the Ministry and steal the Horcrux back from Umbridge after stunning her during the trial of a Muggle-Born. Despite Harry being unable to conjure a Patronus while wearing the locket due to the malign presence of a piece of Voldemort's soul, Umbridge managed to do so. Rowling explains this is due to Dolores being a "very nasty piece of work" such that the evil object aids her instead of hindering her.
Novelist Stephen King, writing as a book reviewer for 11 July Entertainment Weekly, noted the success of any novel is due to a great villain, with Umbridge being the "greatest make-believe villain to come along since Hannibal Lecter In direct contrast to his younger brothers, he is a stickler for rules and often pompous due to his love of authority, though he does have good intentions at heart.
In both these circumstances, he becomes physically attached to his badge, wanting to polish it and wear it even when out of school. Academically a high-performing student, Percy received twelve OWLs.
When he finished school, this academic distinction secured him a job in the Ministry in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix , Percy is promoted to Junior Assistant to Minister Fudge; because Fudge and Dumbledore are at odds over Harry's claim that Voldemort has returned, a dispute between Percy and Arthur erupts, resulting in Percy's subsequent alienation from his family.
Although Harry notes he has always liked Percy "the least of Ron's brothers", he is still shocked to hear of this.
When Percy learns Ron is made a prefect, he sends him a letter congratulating him for following in his footsteps, and unsuccessfully urges Ron to sever ties with Harry claiming Harry is an extreme danger to Ron's prefect status , and to pay loyalty to Umbridge and the Ministry — going so far to refer to her as a "delightful woman," much to Harry's and Ron's disgust.
Percy later makes an appearance in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince , where he has apparently seen the error of his ways and pays an awkward visit to his family with new Minister Rufus Scrimgeour during the Christmas Holidays, although it is later revealed that this was engineered by Scrimgeour in order to speak to Harry alone.
He later attends Dumbledore's funeral with Ministry officials, including Dolores Umbridge. In the climax of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , Percy returns to his family and manages to make up with all of them, and eventually duels new Minister of Magic and Voldemort puppet Pius Thicknesse in the Battle of Hogwarts.
While dueling Thicknesse, Percy announces that he is resigning, the first joke he has made in many years, much to Fred's delight. While dueling alongside Percy, his brother Fred Weasley is killed in an explosion, and Percy clings to the corpse and shields it from further damage. In the last part of the battle, he and his father work together to defeat Thicknesse. His final appearance is in the book's epilogue, at King's Cross Station, talking loudly about broom regulations.
In connection with her portrayal of the bureaucratised Ministry of Magic and the oppressive measures taken by the Ministry in the later books like making attendance to Hogwarts compulsory and the "registration of Muggle-borns" with the Ministry , Rowling has been asked whether there is a parallel with Nazism. She replied that "It wasn't really exclusively that. I think you can see in the Ministry even before it's taken over, there are parallels to regimes we all know and love.
This is partly because her critique works on so many levels: the functions of government, the structure of government, and the bureaucrats who run the show. All three elements work together to depict a Ministry of Magic run by self-interested bureaucrats bent on increasing and protecting their power, often to the detriment of the public at large. In other words, Rowling creates a public-interest scholar's dream—or nightmare—government. Indonesia English. Data Lengkap. Kode Wilayah di Indonesia.
