The Ministry of Magic

The Ministry of Magic is the central government authority in the wizarding world, responsible for regulating magical society, law enforcement, and magical education. It oversees various departments such as Magical Law Enforcement, Magical Transportation, and Magical Creatures, ensuring the safety and secrecy of wizards and witches from non-magical people. The Ministry operates out of a hidden, large government building in London, accessible only to those with magical clearance. It functions as a bureaucratic hub, similar to a government in the non-magical world, but specialized for magical affairs and maintaining the wizarding community’s privacy and order.
