Ministry of Magic

Ministry of Magic
The Ministry of Magic is the government for the magical people of Britain in J.K. Rowling's world. It has been shown as being corrupt and purposefully blind toward the truth. So pretty much typical of politicians really!

Connections with the Muggles
The Ministry of Magic has the power to Obliviate all and any Muggles who might have seen wizards/witches/magical creatures at work. The Minister of Magic meets with the Muggle Prime Minister when the actions of the wizarding world would affect the muggle one, such as the rebirth of Lord Voldemort.

 * Department of Magical Law Enforcement
 * Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes
