The Ministry of Magic is a fictional governing body in the
Harry Potter series by
J.K. Rowling, overseeing the
magical community of the United Kingdom; it is the successor organization in the UK to the earlier Wizards' Council, though other countries have their own ministries of magic. At the head of the Ministry is the Minister for Magic (Minister of Magic in American versions), a position that seems to include executive, legislative and judicial functions.
